Our WRs a Little Soft? On catching the ball... Raymond Berry said it best.

If our WR's (some, not all) are missing anything it is the attack on the ball. They seem to be waiting for it to nestle into their waiting hands. Years ago, I had the privilege of attending 2 Raymond Berry seminars. (NFL HOF - Considered one of the all-time best possession WR's)

Berry summed it up this way, "That's your ball. You gotta snatch that ball. Snatch it like a pissed-off eagle with a nest full of starving chicks!"

Berry also hated the phrase "soft hands". He said your fingers should be extended in a way that you could do pushups on your fingertips.
