Can anyone explain this wide receiver drill?

I'd probably have to see more than just that pic to say for certain.

Our old receiver coach used to have guys catch bricks.  It was literally "If you can catch a brick, you can catch a ball."

Jerry Rice father was a brick mason....just saying

And legend says that's how he learned to catch.

True? No idea.

​Sounds like your coach studied Jerry Rice. The use of bricks to work a receiver is done to control their focus. You throw them a ball and they can easily take their eyes off it. You throw them a brick and you guarantee their eyes and hands will be working together. If this drill is used, it is typically the first drill for the receivers.

As for the broom drill, it is meant to release off the line quickly and can be used with a chicken wing or stemming technique. You must release off the line and get by the DB without touching the DB with the end of the broom. So, the broom must be vertical when passing the DB. If used with a chicken wing a big receiver can get his body weight into the DB while turning his chest to the ball and back to the DB.  This allows for a transfer of weight to work and push off the DB without any arm extension.

Some of these ideas seems spot on, yet i cant help but wonder....dont we have just simple plain wooden poles, or otherwise plastic...or something else other than an actual fuggin broom to do the drill with?

 

The fact it is a real broom suggest that either (a) It was suddenly thought up...(b) we dont have the proper equipment to run the drills, or (c) and my personal favorite, the bristle action of a real broom does something or has an effect we dont know about yet~

      DJ Moore. The quitting WR

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      This play was never designed to go to either DJ or Odunze. The primary read is Burden who is stymied early, with the outlet being Kmet if Caleb doesn't like the option for Burden. Given the situation it's pretty obvious the simple play is to take the free yards with Kmet, or if you want to be aggressive just wait a beat longer for Burden to uncover on his double move. If Moore was ever going to be a viable target in this play then Caleb should have started out reading Odunze to hold the safety in the middle and then coming to Moore, but because he started the snap staring down the right and then came back to the middle late it made it where the safety's leverage remained to the outside of Moore, so he would never have imagined that pass actually being thrown to him in that situation. Realistically DJ's best option in that context is to just occupy the safety to leave a hole open for Caleb to get it to Burden, which is probably why he throttles down vs carrying the safety across.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      Even with Sonny Styles still on the board I thought it's a no brainer to address the Oline after Icky's injury.  And how can you pass up Fano at 19 given our situation. Then the rest of the draft just kind of made sense with maybe the exception of Klubnik.  But if Canales can fix him and Young goes down. . .I think it's a solid pick. What do you think of this draft?

      When we didn't trade him to the Rams or the Bears (I believe the Bears said they would take one of Brown/ Burns/DJ Moore) we should have just signed him and kept him.  We should have traded him to the Rams obviously and we should have kept DJ and traded Burns.  We made all three wrong choices with Burns lol.
