Classic Mike Leach talking Vertical for the outside WR here:
“If you can see the ball thrown all the better because you can adjust to it.”
“The most important time to take a peak is as the defender begins to turn.”
“Marino drill” builds chemistry with the QB
“If I’ve got that guy pinned put a lot of air under the ball, let the wr adjust to the ball, you want to get accurate all of a sudden have your QB put air under the ball.”
“I can’t believe how accurate he is?!? Well the WR did half the work. The WR had plenty of time to run to and adjust to the football.”
“A lot of it was the technique with his eyes”
“Keep in mind There is a value even when you miss.”
“Quarterbacks make decisions, receivers run routes.”
“The WR is not entitled to guess oh gee he might throw it behind me”
