Looks like the ball was behind him which it should have been cause that's a hospital ball otherwise. Likely just a way to stop his forward momentum
? How is jumping going to stop him?
If you push off and jump in the opposite direction it greatly reduces your momentum 🤦♂? I get what you're saying though you can get lit up. Not really enough to really see if he should of or not but it was placed behind him
Yeah, not much of a clip, but as I was taught you ONLY jump if you have to go up to make the catch. Everything else is better for the player and the play if your feet are on the ground. When you jump you can't cut, you can't slow down, you can't speed up, you can't twist with leverage.
That said, I really love his hands and his route running was looking really good at the end of last year. It's just that the jump thing is a trigger for me because I was called out LOUDLY in front of the entire team like 40 years ago (good lord I'm old).
