Video: WR Coach Sheppard during Spring Practice

I watched a LOT of what he did with Wash WR's in 2022 when Grubb was in CNS's sight and I was very impressed.

He will have guys running Precise Routes and I mean PRECISE.

The Route Trees are designed to leverage defenders and create pockets of open space for WR's to ATTACK and if one route is covered it leaves another area open on another route.

Coach Shephard teaches WR's to aggressively get to those open areas and Snatch the Ball out of Air and get YAC.

They are constantly making a Safety make a choice and when that happens whether it's choice A or B the defense is cooked because we have a secondary route open off either choice.

I feel like I can confidently say our WR group will collectively look better technique wise as well as mentally than any other recent WR group.

The QB holds the Key to making everything work but we will no longer have to worry about why guys aren't getting open.

And I hear Kobe Prentice and Aeryn Hampton, a freshman, are really good route runners.

I think good things are on the horizon with our offense.

Outside of the times we had Kiffen and Sark, I'd say our offensive philosophy (the Bama offense CNS referred to) was simply to out-athlete the opposing defenses with the best receivers we could recruit. When you coupled those great receivers with Kiffin and Sark and some pretty good QBs we saw championship results!

But I feel our whole offensive philosophy is shifting to having better schemes and I think as long as we can continue to recruit great receivers and QBs our offense will go to the next level!!!

When we had Kiffin and especially Sark, we could out talent and out scheme most anyone. Sark and the 2020 offense was on another level of great.
