Welcome back to Week 3 of the second edition of TDG’s Football Seminar. Like the Gophers, we decided to take the bye week off because sometimes life is more important than learning about receiver patterns. No longer though, because this special Tuesday edition of the Football Seminar is all about them.
Two weeks ago, we introduced the basic concept of a route tree. To briefly review, a route tree is a collection of passing routes organized numerically that are the same for each receiver. The idea is to provide a simple system of organization that can be quickly relayed and understood by wide receivers.
