Markus Rendell's blog ::...help them against Calvin Johnson and Brandon Marshall in... issue for 2 years, which is why I...Luke Kuechly, the defensive rookie of year, last season. Yet...










               On               December               22,               Detroit               Lions               wide               receiver               Calvin               Johnson               dominated               the               Atlanta               Falcons               secondary               by               racking               up               225               yards               on               11               receptions.

In               doing               so,               he               broke               Jerry               Rice's               single-season               record               1848               yards,               surpassing               the               mark               Rice               set               in               1995               with               the               San               Francisco               49ers.

The               game               also               marked               the               eighth               consecutive               time               this               season               in               which               the               man               known               as               Megatron               posted               at               least               100               receiving               yards.
               Fans               would               be               correct               to               attribute               Johnson's               ascension               to               his               incredible               6'5"               stature               and               sub-4.4               speed.

However,               his               vastly               improved               route               running               skills               have               been               equally               vital               to               his               success.
               Johnson               was               an               unfinished               product               in               terms               of               his               route               running               when               he               entered               the               NFL               in               2007.

His               massive               size               and               speed               masked               this               shortcoming               at               the               collegiate               ranks,               but               his               pre-draft               visits               and               workouts               clearly               showed               that               he               was               far               from               a               true               route               running               technician.
               Indeed,               the               one               knock               NFL               scouts               had               on               Johnson               coming               out               of               Georgia               Tech               was               that               he               lacked               the               route               running               skills               necessary               for               grabbing               passes               over               the               middle               of               the               field.
               He               had               a               respectable               rookie               year,               posting               756               yards               and               4               touchdowns.

In               the               five               years               since,               he               has               transformed               himself               into               the               league's               most               dominant               receiver               and               is               already               worthy               of               being               compared               to               all-time               greats               such               as               Rice               and               Randy               Moss.
               Johnson's               improvement               does               not               come               from               growing               visibly               stronger               or               faster,               but               rather               from               sharper               route               running,               which               has               allowed               him               to               catch               passes               between               the               numbers               and               to               slide               into               the               slot               to               avoid               being               bracketed               by               double-coverage               down               the               sideline.
               The               tremendous               development               in               Johnson's               route               running               since               his               rookie               year               has               vaulted               him               to               his               current               Pro-Bowl               level,               and               this               huge               improvement               speaks               to               incredible               importance               of               route               running,               a               fundamental               yet               underrated               aspect               of               pass               catching.
               Route               running               begins               with               getting               off               the               line               of               scrimmage.

Indeed,               the               receiver's               stance               and               initial               step               dictate               how               well               he               will               enter               his               route               and               invade               the               defensive               back's               cushion.
               Once               off               the               ball,               the               receiver               must               begin               the               route               in               a               way               such               that               every               route               initially               looks               the               same.

This               skill               prevents               the               defense               from               being               able               to               jump               the               route               for               a               deflection               or               an               interception,               but               it               requires               intense               repetition               in               getting               off               the               ball               and               into               the               route.
               A               pass               catcher               must               also               run               crisp               routes-ones               that               are               run               to               a               point.

For               example,               an               "in"               route               is               squared               at               90               degrees               toward               the               center               of               the               field.

An               in               route               run               at               anything               other               than               a               right               angle               gives               the               defender               an               opportunity               to               make               a               play               on               the               ball.
               If               a               receiver               is               called               to               run               a               10-yard               in               route,               the               receiver               must               get               off               the               line               quickly               and               drive               toward               the               cornerback's               outside               shoulder.

He               must               get               off               the               ball               with               explosion               to               eat               up               the               corner's               cushion               as               quickly               as               possible.

After               all,               the               receiver               only               essentially               has               ten               yards               to               dupe               the               defensive               back               into               thinking               that               he               will               be               running               vertically               down               the               sideline.
               A               receiver               typically               pushes               the               cornerback               for               about               eight               yards               in               an               attempt               to               force               the               defender               to               open               his               hips               as               if               he               were               defending               a               fly               route.

Therefore,               by               exploding               off               the               ball,               the               receiver               can               force               the               defender               far               out               of               position               and               then               make               a               wide-open               catch.
               After               running               forward               for               eight               yards,               the               receiver               typically               "breaks               down,"               or               slows               down               abruptly               by               chopping               his               feet,               to               make               his               cut               inward               at               ten               yards.

A               strong               route-runner               is               able               to               maintain               complete               control               of               his               body               by               lowering               his               center               of               gravity               as               he               breaks               down.
               At               exactly               ten               yards,               the               receiver               then               uses               his               outside               foot               to               cut               inward               at               a               right               angle.

If               the               receiver               maintains               a               low               center               of               gravity,               remains               completely               under               control,               and               has               planted               his               outside               foot,               he               is               then               able               to               accelerate               out               of               his               break               and               separate               from               the               defender.
               Thus,               even               a               very               simple               in               route               requires               an               extraordinary               degree               of               discipline               and               body               control.

A               receiver               must               practice               his               routes               hundreds,               if               not               thousands,               of               times               to               make               sure               that               they               are               of               second               nature.

Moreover,               the               receiver               must               know               by               heart               how               many               steps               it               takes               for               him               to               run               each               route               distance,               be               it               5,               10,               or               20               yards.
               By               being               consistent               off               the               line               of               scrimmage,               the               receiver               keeps               the               defender               honest               by               forcing               him               to               respect               the               vertical               threat.

Pushing               the               defender               also               invades               the               corner's               cushion               and               may               force               him               to               adopt               a               poor               position.

Lastly,               breaking               down               and               making               a               sharp               cut               allows               the               receiver               to               separate               from               the               defender               for               an               open               reception.
               These               skills               are               critical               as               a               whole               because               they               allow               the               receiver               to               separate               from               the               defender,               which,               in               turn,               creates               more               space               for               the               quarterback               to               throw               the               football.
               Poor               route               running,               on               the               other               hand,               can               very               detrimental               to               a               team,               even               though               it               may               not               show               up               in               the               receiver's               statistics.

Look               no               further               than               Terrell               Owens.

T.O.

is               widely               regarded               as               one               of               the               greatest               receivers               in               league               history,               but               his               gaudy               numbers               are               misleading.
               Owens               was               able               to               generate               eye-popping               numbers               for               over               a               decade,               but               one               key               reason               he               cannot               find               a               home               despite               posting               nearly               1,000               yards               in               2010               is               his               shoddy               route               running.
               For               years,               Owens               improvised               his               routes,               and               this               lack               of               discipline               forces               the               quarterback               to               throw               to               larger               targets,               as               opposed               to               smaller,               more               precise               ones               that               only               the               receiver               can               reach.
               In               his               last               year               in               the               league,               T.O.

led               the               NFL               in               "most               interceptions               as               a               targeted               receiver"               with               12,               meaning               that               his               quarterback               threw               12               interceptions               when               targeting               him               that               season.

In               fact,               he               led               the               league               in               this               category               with               43               interceptions               over               his               final               five               years.
               It               is               not               surprising               that               Tony               Romo's               and               Carson               Palmer's               interception               totals               spiked               during               the               years               when               Owens               was               their               primary               target               for               the               Dallas               Cowboys               and               Cincinnati               Bengals,               respectively.
               On               the               other               hand,               the               Miami               Dolphins'               Davone               Bess               has               made               a               name               for               himself               despite               not               having               the               physical               gifts               of               Johnson               or               Owens               largely               because               of               his               remarkable               route               running.
               Bess               is               listed               at               a               petite               5'10"               and               would               lose               a               footrace               to               almost               all               NFL               wideouts.

He               hardly               looks               the               part               of               an               NFL               receiver               and               would               likely               go               unrecognized               on               a               street               not               in               Miami.
               Yet               his               diminutive               stature               and               limited               speed               have               hardly               prevented               him               from               serving               as               a               top-flight               slot               receiver.

He               has               found               a               secure               place               in               the               NFL               because               he               is               a               perfectionist-his               immense               body               control               and               precise               routes               remain               among               the               best               of               any               pass               catcher.

Few               others               have               been               able               to               perfect               their               route               running               and               showcase               it               on               every               snap,               every               Sunday.
               Catching               aside,               polished               route               running               is               arguably               the               most               fundamental               skill               of               a               wideout,               and               it               is               so               vital               that               it               has               also               allowed               Bess               to               carve               out               a               role               in               the               NFL               and               Johnson               to               harness               his               freakish               athleticism               as               he               steps               onto               the               pedestal               of               the               all-time               greats.

    Markus Rendell's blog ::Matthew Berry is Atrocious at His Job, Don't Ever Listen to a Single Word He Says










                   In               their               previous               three               games,               leading               up               to               their               November               4               contest               with               Jacksonville,               Detroit               Lions'               wide               receiver               Calvin               Johnson               has               been               inexplicably               absent               in               the               first               two               quarters               of               each,               having               pulled               in               a               total               of               one               reception               during               the               stint.

    Hampered               by               soreness               in               his               knee,               speculation               ran               rampant               as               to               whether               he               would               be               available               to               participate               in               a               game               that               could,               ultimately,               be               described               as               a               "must               win."               Sitting               at               3-4,               clawing               their               way               back               from               a               dreadful               1-3               start               to               the               season,               Detroit               would               need               a               healthy               dose               of               "Megatron"               in               order               to               pull               to               .500               and               give               a               slim               bit               of               hope               to               the               remainder.

    Wish               granted.
                   Johnson               entered               EverBank               Field               for               just               the               second               time               in               his               career.

    The               first,               still               as               a               member               of               Georgia               Tech               in               the               2007               Gator               Bowl,               he               had               notched               nine               receptions               for               186               yards               and               two               scores.

    Apparently,               those               thoughts               remained               etched               in               his               memory               as               he               delivered               another               big               performance               within               the               confines,               catching               seven               passes               for               129               yards               in               the               Lions'               31-14               victory.
                   Arguably               the               best               wide               receiver               in               the               NFL,               Johnson               has               performed               at               a               near-superhuman               level               since               he               arrived.

    The               obvious               choice               as               quarterback               Matthew               Stafford's               primary               "go-to               guy,"               the               downward-trending               performance               of               the               Lions'               passing               attack               this               season               had               placed               much               of               the               scrutiny               on               the               duo,               especially               Johnson.

    Whatever               the               reason               behind               it,               against               Jacksonville,               it               appeared               they               had               solved               the               issues               and               were               able               to               regain               the               explosive               offense               fans               had               gotten               used               to               seeing.
                   Granted,               the               incredible               performance               of               running               backs               Mikel               Leshoure               and               Joique               Bell,               who               ran               for               four               touchdowns               and               143               yards,               kept               the               defense               on               their               heels               and               opened               up               more               opportunities               for               the               passing               game.

    It               was               Johnson,               however,               who               stole               the               show               with               another               demonstration               of               why               he               is               considered               the               National               Football               League's               best               receiving               talent.

    Johnson               ran               a               receiving               clinic,               boasting               everything               from               leaping               to               diving;               hauling               in               seven               of               the               eight               targeted               passes               Stafford               lofted               his               direction.

    Against               an               athlete               of               his               caliber,               there               was               little               the               Jaguars'               defense               could               do               to               contain               him.
                   Detroit               is               still,               though               a               long               shot,               in               position               to               snatch               one               of               the               Wild               Card               spots               in               the               postseason.

    With               the               potential               of               Stafford               and               Johnson               regaining               their               illustrious               form,               the               odds               are               beginning               to               increase               in               Motown's               favor.
