Todd Heap explained that approach when he joined The Lounge podcast.
“He's going to bail a lot more quarterbacks out. Hey, if you're a receiver, that's the other thing I'd tell Jacoby. I was like, You know, in practice every day. Quarterbacks are going to throw you the ball. They're not all going to be perfect. In fact, most of them aren't perfect. It's a rare few passes that are perfect, perfect. Especially when you're in competition. And what I'd preach to the young guys, especially guys that you know are capable, is go for everything. Try to catch everything. I don't care if it's under shoelaces. I don't care if it's 10 feet, 12 feet high. Go for everything.”
