Face guarding is legal and smart!
It is but it was a serious issue 2 years before this year.

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.
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.
the coach puts him and uses him in the right place at the right time...Richards has motivated this group but he has his templates. He prefers taller corners. Lewis has more picks from the bench...
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.
Lewis needs to run with Gurley all night.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...

We're watching film of Roy Williams Terence Newman Sensabaugh Etc it's The Cowboy WayI 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.
