Pierre Garcon pre snap keys Third Down Vikings August 27, 2017 and Rams September 21,2017

  Pierre Garcon makes a lot of incredible receptions.    
 
  However, he may be exposing plays on Third down.
             - success on Third down is important for momentum (mojo)
             - mojo helps make all players on a team feel invincible
 
  Garcon pre snap keys on third down:
           Prime: - showed prime pre snap keys
 
           Non-prime: - showed non-prime pre snap keys
 
  Defenses that may have figured out his pre snap keys as I have:
             - would now know which players to concentrate on and
             - in some cases (side ball is going)
 
  Third down and certain yardage, dictates a passing down.

  On a run play, how a receiver sets up is not as critical unless:
             - he shows a specific type of setup for all run plays

Wes Welker also tipped off prime, non-prime and run when with Patriots.

Edelman pre snap keys:

       
 

        Backfielder run: - hand location well back of front of knee

   
             

New:

Edelman now does a lot of shifting on run plays. However, you still know it will be a run.

 

Edelman shifts to an area for blocking as opposed to a slot position, like on pass plays.
