NoSaint Posted December 18, 2024 Posted December 18, 2024 I’ll continue to say - if that’s not motivation to practice fielding the ball cleanly, I don’t know what would be the hands team should have voluntary practices to just hurl the ball at each other 2 Quote

I don't know why, but apparently if you show up in an NFL locker room with a cup, you face immense ridicule. Have friend whose son was elite rugby player in HS and club player in college and afterwards. Plays wing. He also played WR on a championship winning football team in HS. Can confirm. Expand This was probably 20 years ago and for him a cup was mandatory. With that said, the NFL is a weird place of alphas who I guess dont like protection (as evidenced by Tyreek Hill and his particular disdain for any type of protection lol) 1 Quote

I wonder if it’s common for teams not to have their best hands guys in that spot Expand The main strategy has been bouncing the ball really high pass 10 yards to allow our guys a chance to hit the guy who's in the process of catching the ball to jar it loose. The counter measure nowadays for the receiving team is to have first line guy blocking the incoming guys to allow the "hands' guy have a clean catch. In my view, the Hollins onside kick is a lucky one, not really that clean. The other strategy is squib kick aiming for the ball and the player arriving at the 10 yard line at the same time. The receiving team player can move forward attack the ball before 10 yard mark, but the ball is bouncing off the ground with unpredictability, making the ball catching difficult. Johnson had the ball bouncing of his face mask. Again, not clean. Quote
