Cooper Kupp on routes on air with intent…
You know what we used to call that? Deja Vu..

I’m sure some sports scientist somewhere has a problem with this line of thinking. I tend to side with elite athletes who are students of the game and put the work into understanding the game holistically when they articulate things. 🤷🏻
The obstacle is the way.
No defender should ever dictate the depth of your route.
Make them chase you!

Young WRs should be paying attention to what @49ers vet WR Chris Conley is doing tonight. Main reason why former third-rounder is in his eighth season (with fifth different team) because of his willingness to embrace and excel on ST. Great lesson for those willing to take notice.

You shooting, I’m fighting. There’s a difference

Kyle Shanahan was asked if Jauan Jennings was the most ferocious run-blocking WR he’s ever coached:
“Probably. What he did driving that guy into the Gatorade is what he does every day at practice. Our defense tried to fight him last year because they thought he was going above and beyond.”
You win with your feet…the hands finish the job!
Great visual from #Ravens WR Zay Flowers on the Bench route.
#Browns WR Cedric Tillman winning on the Sluggo.
Run the first route first. Body language wins!
- 3 vertical strides; foot in the ground + head around
- Everything says Slant: eyes to QB + whole body committed inside…routes on air mentality!
Grab him, pull him, leave him.
Vertical stem + eyes to the DB to grab him.
Burst crossfield + eyes away to pull him.
DB stays on the high hip = exit flat to leave him.
The art of pairing routes together…
@JahanDotson
Elijah Moore Vertical Stem
Eat cushion & force the DB to turn and run.
No indicators…everything says GO (open stride, clean arm action, forward body lean). Pad level never changes.
You win with your feet…the hands finish the job.
“Everything’s a vertical until it’s not.”
Davante Adams winning on the Post vs. an off & inside CB
🔑: eventually the DB HAS to respect us going vertical
- FA = eat cushion ASAP
- Burst into the blind spot to force the DB to turn & run
- Slip the hip and dig to separate
- Eyes up not back for the 🏈
- Grab the rebound
THROW-BY CUTUP
🔑’s
- Sell vertical: must force the DB to turn and run!
- Keep the DB close: we want to take leverage at the TOR. Further away = more distance to travel + weaker contact (if any)
- Win with your feet: do not sacrifice your footwork. The hands finish the job!
1/2
DOUBLE STICK (vs. trail defender) CUTUP
Effective separation technique to win at the TOR. Consecutive sticks creating a violent hip shift to sell opposite.
Primarily used to sell opposite vs. a trail defender or to hold a defender with cushion.
A lot of good in here…
- “purposeful movement” = have a plan
- “break his hip/open up” = eliminate cushion to take control
- “downshifting” = use of tempo to keep the defender off-balance
But most important of it all:
“You play your own melody, but you’re on the QB’s time”
.@tkelce thinks about route running like being a ball handler on a basketball court.
Learning from the best at @te_university. 🗣
EYES AWAY FROM THE DB = PULL THEM
Out-leveraged off the LOS? Don’t panic. Use the eyes to move the DB!
Eyes opposite during the stem = pull the DB to your far hip.
Prefer to win at the TOR = give the DB two and flash the eyes to sell opposite. 🔑 = DB must feel you pull away!
EYES TO THE DB = HOLD THEM
When do we stare down a DB? When we have them where we want them!
Save leverage + prevent them from driving on the route in-phase. Stare them down during the stem before leaving them at the TOR.
