News: Cowboy receivers practice while wearing bags on their head

[cajuncocoa]

Those look like the same bags my wife uses in the washing machine to put her "delicates" in.

I use one of those...that's what I thought when I saw it too!

As long as there's no reason for Cowboys fans to wear bags over their heads, I'm fine with it.

We're not allowed. The Saints have a patent on that in many types.

 

[Longboysfan]

They should have them try and catch wearing those beer goggles the state trooper would bring to school to talk about the dangers of drinking and driving.

But who will be throwing a ball to them at a DUI stop???

Broken fingers? Good grief.... you'd think they were playing tiddly-winks! This is football.... they could break a finger on a tackling dummy. Lawsuit? OSHA? Lord help me!

People need something to complain about day in and day out

 

[Rockport]

I'm gonna laugh when someone breaks a finger and then sues the team for having an unsafe working enviroment. OSHA should be all over this......and the players Union.....

Dumbest drill I've ever seen.....And in no way improves anything

Fans are funny sometimes.

Interesting method.

Hopefully the goal is to make it to where if they are able to run a route properly and catch a ball with that bag over their head, they should do it even better without the bag.

I can see how the drill would promote focus and overcoming distraction. You really will have to look the ball all the way in

Has the art of asking someone in the know for an explanation been lost in journalism?

Or is this long-range reporting where someone isn't on the scene, doesn't have access to the players or coaches and is speculating from his basement?

Glad I clicked on this thread. I was picturing the type of bags they tell kids to not put over their heads because they might suffocate.

My friends and I all skipped school that day to have a keg party at the river...

That is a TE and the TEs coach Pope is well known for using odd drills in practice.

I see nothing wrong with it. Helps them concentrate and make plays in crowded/bad weather/blocked vision situations.

The TE coach wrote the article?

I have not idea how you got that from what I said.

The photo is of a TE and the TE coach is well known for using odd drills in practice.

You missed the intent of my question.

I'm asking how come the writer couldn't ask what the net is being used for. Is he not at the facility while the net contraption is being used?
The writer makes speculations as to what it is.
When I was a daily newspaper reporter, it was my duty to ASK people why they did what they did, not write an entire article about what I THINK it is people did.

I doubt if he has media access. He is likely a fan/blogger.

This isn't anything new. The Commanders' receivers have been doing this for quite some time.
