route question

clawman said:This is for all of you former receivers out there.
Why do receivers run down the sideline? If the ball is thrown outside even a little there is no room for error. If they ran a few yards in the field of play they have the sideline to work with.
Haven’t played a meaningful down of football since high school circa 1986……a coach once said “only 3 things can happen when you pass the ball, and two of em ain’t good’. By throwing outside you minimize the potential for one of those bad things to happen.
LDopaPDX said:Yeah, Griz is right. Going to the far outside means you'll be only covered by the corner. If the safety tries to come into the picture, he'll be coming from the middle of the field. It eliminates the potential of getting covered by two guys.
I don't think you understand my question.

Guess I didn't understand. I thought you meant why receivers head so far to the side of the field on routes.

On the sideline….it’s either a catch or it goes ob and you live to fight another day. One yard off the sideline gives the db a better chance to make a play on the ball.clawman said:right ON the sideline vs 1 yd in the field of play?LDopaPDX said:clawman said:LDopaPDX said:Yeah, Griz is right.

clawman said:another question, do receivers ever practice catching something other than a football? To learn concentration and focus by learning to catch tennis balls. When a guy can focus on something that small a football would be huge.
Tennis and Golf balls are common

Kupp used tennis balls a lot.
