I'm cool with this drill. But hands down the #1 thing that holds a DB back from the next level is not becoming the WR ASAP and playing the man instead of the ball.
It's mindset more than a skill, and the best have it. I didn't. I see too much reliance on playing the hands. A lot of it is all the inside leverage being taught, but that's another story. Playing the hands should be the last resort.
To me, the word disadvantage is more about confidence than reality.
As a coach I would punish the process of not trying to locate and play the ball in practice. Regardless of the result.
Players would be surprised how many more plays they'd make if they trusted themselves to look for and make a play on the ball earlier.
@DailyLoud I believe the fact that SR beat them all, but the side-by-side videos make it appear as though lanes 5 & 4 came in just behind her. The overhead view shows them getting smoked and finishing next to last. Hmmm...
This is the appropriate attitude for dealing with the way things currently work in college athletics.
Coaches and others have their agents talking to other schools about jobs at all times.
Shouldn’t expect any different for the players, especially when they’re not employees.
“In moments of victory or defeat, I think it’s really important to be respectful. Whether we win or lose, we’re going to have respectful interaction. Your time to congratulate and show respect in the immediacy right there. Respect the people you play against. We want to be a program that wins with class and loses with class,”

Kenny Dillingham with high praise for DL coach Diron Reynolds:
"He's a phenomenal football coach. Professional defensive linemen come to train with him. We don't send him on the road to recruit, he doesn't leave here. Why? Because I want him around our players."
