[QUOTE="Techster, post: 83900, member: 360"] The technical aspects of route running like you mentioned (not rounding routes, dropping hips in/out of cuts, foot positioning before turning, leverage)...those are fundamental things taught at the high school level. When WR don't follow it, to me it's more laziness than coaching...unless coaches don't drill it into their WRs heads. It's like being a QB. All systems want their QBs to bring the ball up around ear level as to cut time on releases, plant the opposite leg from their throwing side, etc. There are nuances that are different in each system, like we have our QBs drop back to the same side as the play but flip their hips to their natural throwing side once the drop back is complete. Again, all preference in the system...just a matter of whether the QB chooses to adhere to fundamentals. Vad for instance had a bad habit of throwing off his back foot even though he paid gobs of money to fly out West to get coached by QB guru George Whitefield NOT to do that. Tebow had a terrible time not dropping the ball to start his throwing motion at his hips...even though he also spent gobs of money every year with QB coaches NOT to do it. At some point it's the athlete's responsibility to apply the coaching. [/QUOTE]
