Do our defensive players work out on the JUGGS machine?

[Fin-Loco]

Got thinking in another thread. What duo our defensive players do to try to make sure they are as good at catching as our offensive players. Does current team use the JUGGS machine and is it just limited to our offense? I went to TC but I don't remember. Could be the Gatorade with Vodka...

FWIW, a cut and paste.


The Jugs machine isn't just for players who make catches for a living. Giants safety Landon Collins, perhaps the defensive revelation of 2016, has reinvented himself as a good-hands guy. Although he started all 16 games as a rookie last year, he managed only one interception. This season, he had five in a spectacular span of four games.

"The Jugs machine has helped me a lot," Collins said. "We have ball drills after practice. Catching deep balls, balls that are right in your face. Different areas. Because we don't get the opportunity to have balls coming to us every day."

Super Bowl 50 featured three prominent defenders who are mad about Jugs: Former Carolina Panthers cornerback Josh Norman, who continues his devotion to the machine in Washington, and Broncos linebackers Von Miller andDeMarcus Ware, who regularly engage in pass-catching contests.

A'Shawn Robinson, a 320-pound defensive tackle for the Detroit Lions, used the Jugs machine in spring workouts and training camp because he wanted to work on his hand speed, hand control and hand-eye coordination. Darius Slay and other Lions defensive backs were obsessive about using the machine as part of their "Hand School."

The more you work on your hands with jugs the better. .. :up:

Jugs machine? You sexist bastard! She has a name!

Right. So does anyone know what our defenders do to help their catch abilities? I get the name of the machine can trigger a sophomoric response but trying to get actual information.

well first of all, in TC, you can't bring Gatorade in anymore, you have to buy it from some guy screaming. Second of all, how much pass-catching do you need? Most of the times, they're on defense because they can't catch anyway. I go to camp every year. There are drills, however, it's not emphasized

Lighten up, I have a crack team of investigators on it, they will be reporting back shortly...
