Corner technique I may be wrong but

[CowboysFaninHouston]

Our best playmaking corner (Lewis) is on the bench because he’s an inch too short.. Coaches have their templates and it’s pure stubbornness imo...

that's Richards...you mean Richards is not a good coach?

and its not because of his height. he is more marcus peters than anything else. not disciplined enough.

Bend but don’t break defense techniques..

No they're not.

 

[Clove]

I rarely see Chido or Byron turn their heads around when the ball is in the air. They tend to challenge the ball once the receiver has it in body range instead.

I could be wrong, if they do it, someone correct me, wouldn't be the first time. But if true, is this a coaching point, a technique purposely done? Maybe to not lose a receiver in a route? Or is this something that they just do not have confidence to do?

I get nervous that they will draw flags doing this, and it does explain lack of interceptions.

But they still have been doing well using this technique, I just find myself yelling "turn your head" every time the ball is in the air. I know, easier said than done.

Only turn your head around when you're even with the guy or in front of him. If you're behind, you need to focus on breaking up the pass.

 

[Red Dragon]

@ the OP: The idea is twofold: You need to keep pace with the WR on those deep streak routes, and if your head is turned, you can't run as fast. And you watch the receivers' eyes; if his eyes are widening, that means the ball arrival is imminent and you need to put hands up to swat the ball.

The drawbacks, of course, are that this risks a PI penalty and also that you can't possibly intercept a ball if you aren't looking at it. You can only, at most, hope for a deflection.

 

[Captain43Crash]

...me to bro. That scares the daylights out of me. The probabilities go up for flag, when the defender doesn't turn around. Hate to say it, but that chicken **** when you dont turn your head.

There is more than one way to play cornerback. If you are right on a receiver running down the field sometimes you don’t have time to turn your head, so you watch the receivers eyes and hands. When the hands come up and the eyes go up toward the ball, you put your hand between the receivers. A lot of times it is less risky than looking back to the ball.

 

[Captain43Crash]

Our CB's get away with alot of faceguarding also, which I think would have been a penalty last season.

Face guarding is legal and smart!

 

[Bob-Lillys-War]

These DBs are well coached and ranked elite ., as well as our LBs .

I can't say that about the offense though .

Considering what Richard has done with this defense in one season, I doubt very much that Lewis is on the bench solely because he's an inch shorter.

 

[Dre11]

To be technical, if you're in phase with the wr you can turn, if you're out of phase or trail you have to keep your eyes on the wr.

 

[Beaker42]

they turn early and see the ball. then cover the receiver and watch his eyes. Byron turns more than chido. what is amazing, is the majority of catches made against chido have been outstanding catches. the coverage couldn't have been much better. it happens.

Yeah, who was the JAG from the Giants who made two great one-handed catches against us?

 

[Cowboyz88]

I feel like it’s been forever since we’ve had a CB that could attack and catch the ball at the same time.

Playmaking CBs are very rare with the Cowboys.

When the hands come up and the eyes go up toward the ball, you put your hand between the receivers. A lot of times it is less risky than looking back to the ball.

Especially when you consider the quality of WRs these CBs go up against. Look away for a fraction of a second and they may not be there when you look back.

Yep. When i see this I fugure they have been beat and trying to get back in phase. Read eyes and throw your hands up. You can turn head and look for ball when your in phase with your reciever. Doing this while beat means the ball goes over your head, and the reciever make a catch with your momentum stalled.

It's whats being taught, it works.
Although we did give up big plays but some of this were due to scheme and others were Judy good catches.
Wr's have to have to get credit too.

 

[davidariust24]

It's on the Cb, if the corner is beat, they can't loose sight of the wr, so they're taught to just throw their hands up when the wr extends for the ball, if they're in good coverage you're suppose to turn for the ball when the Wr turns, or his eyes start to get big. I'm sure they're suppose turn, but they don't once beat in trail technique because they don't want to lose sight of the wr.

They wait for the ball to get near the receiver and read the receivers reaction so they can get a hand in between the receivers hands and keep them from catching it or just to knock it away. I wish one of them would be ready to pounce on a route they've studied and anticipated just once and come up with an INT.

 

[gmoney112]

Every coverage has drawbacks. This is usually a result of sticky man coverage. Especially when you're playing single high safety. Your eyes aren't facing the ball. The Rams had the same problem with turnovers so Wade started using more zone.

We play a lot of man, and a lot of single high. It happens. There are always tradeoffs.

 

[pancakeman]

The risk of missing interception possibilities or increasing PI penalties is real when not turning, but doesn't turning on the other hand allow the danger of getting really burned on stop and go routes?
