Ball Recognition for our CB'S

[Coogiguy03]

With Diggs being out, we have to go with our depth. The depth besides Lewis and Gilly are pretty young. With that said, we struggle at times with ball location when the ball is in the air. Often times it seems as if we're just going to make the tackle, instead of trying to locate the ball. I'm glad Anthony Brown is gone, but I hope his spirit is gone too!!! Please give your thoughts ..

Locating the ball is a big problem for many cornerbacks, they fear flipping their hips or turning their heads will cost them a step. But many times they are in perfect position to make the interception if they would simply turn their head and locate the ball. Quarterback ratings would go way down if the receivers didn't turn their head to locate the ball. I really don't know why this isn't a point of emphasis when it comes to coaching. Many a turnover has been left on the field because of this.

Totally agree with this
