Teaching Points (Kanoff to Kirk)

Thanks to a Ronnie Laybold tweet here is the breakdown of a successful flat pass left by QB Charles Kanoff versus a Cover 3 zone to WR Christian Kirk.

Good quick over-the-top release by Kanoff (#6), who quickly squares his shoulders to the target (textbook) and hits Christian Kirk (#13) in stride.

Would like to see Kanoff’s tee (ball) position during his dropback be a little higher.

Kirk catches the football cleanly with his hands, not his body, which allows him to accelerate for extra yards after the catch.

WR Trent Sheffield makes a good, alert side block on chasing NCB Bene Benwikere (#23)..

Excellent fan block by LT John Wetzel (#73) on RDE Cap Capi (#61). Not good by Capi to stop his feet.
