Friday Football Video!

I choose this clip for 2 reasons.  First of all, it is one of the hardest hits I’ve seen in football, but that isn’t the only reason.  I like hard hits and good plays (as long as no one gets injuried), but this play has more than that. 

This play shows “football instincts” and the importance of practice.  I’m sure this wide receiver has ran hundreds of routes and catching to him has become second nature.  When the ball is in the air he is trained to catch it through many hours of practice. 

Do you think a player who just walks through the drills would have made the catch despite absorbing a massive hit?  I bet an untrained, undisciplined player would just lay on their back feeling sorry for themselves and not sticking with the play.   Watch the catch and the play, it speaks for itself.  Practice your football instincts!
