Let’s talk about the “extra step” Tyler Lockett mentioned

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett grabbed the attention of fans this past week when he spoke to the media during the team’s mandatory minicamp. In particular, he piqued the interest of fans with his comments on the offensive system of Shane Waldron granting more freedom to receivers when it comes to running routes.

In particular, fans have come to question what one particular portion of Lockett’s discussion of the new offense means, which as user Basil Ganglia asked about in the comments the other day is

the more you’re able to understand how to switch your feet, how not to switch your feet, how to add an extra step, how not to add an extra step, rather than always just having to get to a certain point in a certain amount of time

Multiple fans had questions about that, and at the end of the day it’s a fairly simple concept that is best illustrated with some visual examples that actually spell out what Lockett was trying to say.
