Ever hear the phrase.... practice makes perfect? Every sport practices intensely. To do otherwise does teach stupid. Coach is just another word for teacher. Practice matters and shows. Work on weak areas and they get better. Like magic!

Nope, never heard that phrase before.

What does practicing intensely have to do with penalties?  How do you teach a player not to block someone in the back on a punt return after they know the rule and they have heard every coach they have ever had tell them not to? At what point is that on the brain of the player that is playing the game? 

How do you teach an NFL DLman that makes millions of dollars to not line up offsides in a game?  I guess their pop warner football coach never covered that brain buster.

So.... by your theory,  Andy Reid is a terrible coach that must not have his team practice well because he has the most penalized team in the league. Got it.

The Chiefs are 9 and 1 btw.

Meh. I never bought into penalties being a lack of coaching. 

Freaking NFL players that don't know how to line up on the right side of the ball?  NFL linemen that false start?  At this point, you can't teach stupid. 

Penalties like holding and pass interference are a 50/50 call.  Linemen hold on every play, it's just whether they call it.  DB's have refs in one game that call PI for touching a guy, then the next game they can hang all over people... 

KC is the most penalized team in the NFL.

There's an old saying... "You get what you ask for consistently."

Williams has made technique and pre-snap discipline a point of emphasis. You can bet he's asking/ demanding we practice like he wants us to play.

You can tell... but then players have to think. But, if you also practice, then the proper tech is ingrained.

Avoiding Offensive holding is a matter of knowing where to grab and when to let go. But to grab without drawing a flag, you have to be in position.

Both sound simple, but both are incredibly hard in live action. That's why they have to be practiced.
