The back end - the last line of defense, the defensive backs. The corner back, to me, is an interesting position because so many people think you just line up, you're quick, you go up there, you press coverage. The corner back position is the most technique driven position there is on the field, maybe. You have to understand about how to use your feet and have your butt, sink your butt, and how to be able to flip those hips and get into transition and know what a wide receiver is going to try to do to you by his alignment. There's so many things to learn as a corner that we don't think of, that we just think we line up and we're tough and we can cover and I see so many defensive backs just go out there and hold. That's not being a corner back. When I'm watching a corner back, I want great feet. I want him to be able to bend his knees and sink his hips and flip those dang hips, open that transition from back pedal to turn and run. Then, understanding the game is important for a corner. Get to the point where you have that leverage. You know that that receiver, when he's running a crossing route, that you can get in his hip pocket. Stay a little bit underneath him, so that when he does break upfield - BOOM - you're right there with him. If he's running a go route, or something, that you're in that hip pocket and you can use that sideline to press him. Playing corner is a technique position but you got to be quick, great feet, great flexibility and great hips and all that stuff. Then, you have to have amnesia because you can't remember the time you got beat just before. Now, the safety, the hybrid, part linebacker, part corner. For me, the safety, the best safeties I've seen are guys that understand the game and have the ability to read when the ball is being run and and when there is a pass. Inside out guys are safeties. When you're playing that strong a free safety and you're inside the hash and - BOOM - you see that ball going outside the hash, you don't pursue straight to the line of scrimmage and then turn right or left. You - BOOM - you take that angle, that pursuit angle, inside out, and attack the ball with your head and front of the ball across the ballcarrier. Those are important things to know and then those safeties got to also be able to cover. You've got to have great feet. You've got to have the instincts too. You have to have ball skills so that you understand that a ball is in flight. You can break on that ball and make a play. You better be a smart, athletic, tough physical football player to play safety. ?
