and you asked for just 1 wr that played corner so i gave you 1.
I also playied as CB and Running Back, and I love it. As CB you can hit the offense, and as Running Back the Defense! And if your blockers are good and you do your part you score that easy.
If you hear what NFL players say, Cornerback is one of the hardest positions. You are hero or villan, one mistake and you loose the game, if a lineman miss a tackle or don’t do his job propperly there are 10 players to make the play, as CB, if you are lucky enought you have the Safety to help you.
you mean you bump him within 5 yards right?
you you are absolutly right. A perfect example is this kids highlight tape, search “Ohio’s top Cornerback”, he is makin open filed tackles and hawking people from behind.
i love this guy.
if your playing press coverage
iz it better to attack the reciever at the snap?
or to line up about 2 or 3 yards off n wait til he comes to you b4 you jam him?
depends on your arm strength! If you can’t pop them hard off the line then you’ll have to give a yard or two cushion…
anything man to man i personally prefer to give em the 2 or 3 yards ESPECIALLY if you’re one on one cus if he beats you right off the line and they float one over the top you’re screwed if you in the red zone or playing zone or have someone who can help you over the top id do it on the line
you gotta go get him right away. If you let him come to you, he will have to much time to make a move on you and break your jam. Get him at the line and get him off his route ASAP
yea but what if he breaks the jam if you attack him..arent you screw?
Either way you can be screwed. The whole idea of jamming is high risk high reward. If you do it right, he is completely shut down. If your wrong, you get beat deep. Its a matter of if you think you can jam him good enough to not get beat
Lol I’ve been doing these drills all my life every level does these drills
and if it’s man to man coverage then I usually like to press becuz I feel more comfrotable that way and I hav the ability to catch up to recievers but if your say 5-7 yes away frm the wr wich is the average all u hav to do is make sure u can turn ur hips and run with him i’m 14 in the 8th grade I had two games this season with 2 int in each playing this position is all about footwork, speed and accleration
these drills are key for becoming a better cb. but i noticed something that could help you a lot more. Im a junior in highschool and my coach was a starting Cb at WVU. in the second drill we call it speed turns and when you back pedel and spin. swing your elbow to spin you around. it will spin you around much faster trust me.
depending if your playing canadian or american rules canadian you have to be one yard off cause thats how close you cna be to jam i know in our league anything after that one yard seperation is illegal and cant jam i dunno how exactly it works in american ball but its all so diffrent depending on what kind of d your running
@2Tacomeat2 ima wide receiver but this year my coach said hes putting me at corner so ima try that
yeah these r good tips 5*. im really use these drills in the offseason
I actually have been working my son on the 2nd two of these drils now for about 1 1/2 years and it’s made a huge improvement in him. his positioning on the field and control have all made a huge impact on him… and he’s only 10 years old! just check my football vids… this spring we will incorporate the first drill will simoultaneous form tackling at “thud”
some of these drills a waste of time son,,
@offensivebackofyear jam means to press the player right? if i remember right you can press somebody up to 5 yards after the line of scrimmage for the NFL.
and who says i was talking about the nfl dip shit
@offensivebackofyear hmm i can tell by your ignorant and uncalled for response that you are a complete ass.
yeah im an ass for sticking up for myself when your the one who started talking shit, and coming from your name you sound like a 23 year old loser whos still crazy about linkin park and lives in your your parents house still get , cause you can proov alot of by talking trash through your computer keyboard get a life and dont start shit on youtube
@mreperger thats really true. i play corner and qb is the only postion harder than cb i dont care what anyone else say
bad way to turn haha that turn = BURNED
