Fitzgerald on Hail Mary passes

[RandomGuy]

Found this interesting. I like seeing what special things some teams do regularly in practice.

Complete a hail mary, by Larry Fitzgerald
"Most people think you just throw the ball up to the end zone and somebody tries to make a play, but it's actually something we run every Friday in practice. You have a guy in the middle who's the jumper. If it's me, I get a running start so I can get as high as possible. If the jumper can't catch it, he tips it to one of four other receivers who've made a box around him."


The ~2003 Eagles D used to practice stripping the ball every day in practice and it paid off in games. Then they got away from it. I haven't seen them trying this hard for strips in years since the last few games - especially last week against the Giants.

Glad they practice that type of hailmary. It's what I would do. The hailmary attempts that we have needed to try have been caught by Larry anyway.
