Like a loaf of bread

If you hold a loaf of bread tightly, you will damage it. The term refers to holding the ball LIGHTLY as you would a LOAF OF BREAD, which means it can be easily dislodged from the player.

"To avoid a fumble, running backs should grip the ball tightly and not like a loaf of bread"
