Beat Press Coverage with these 4 Wide Receiver Releases - Sean Anderson

Do your receivers have a go to move that they know they can use to beat press coverage?  Sean Anderson, Wide Receivers Coach, DC Defenders shows you 5 wide receiver releases.

The releases that you will see in the video are: Quick Swim, Slow Roll, Rip, and Crossover.

Coach Anderson's entire clinic on WR Teaching Progression & Basic Drills of WR Play is available on Glazier Drive.


Stance and start

  1. Exploding off the ball
  2. Head and eyes are up (to and through the defensive back)
  3. Always sell "Go."  Never give the defender the idea that you are going to break off the route.
  4. Comfortable firm stance, hands in the ready position to be able to get into the drive phase.
  5. You can't spend a lot of time at the line of scrimmage.

A few of Coach Anderson's other coaching points for his receivers are:

  1. We have no egos.  The group must understand that success for one is success for all.
  2. No excuses.
  3. Ask questions--no such thing as a dumb question.
  4. No one is above the team or the program.  
  5. Respect each and every person who is associated with this program.
  6. If the ball is not thrown to you, take pride in blocking.
  7. Route knowledge--know the big picture.
