[Dudebro0852]

Shitty advice

[grungefano2513]

[SK8INGWITHABLIND]

@grungefano2513 strong

[grungefano2513]

@SK8INGWITHABLIND thanks!

[illlanoize23]

Duhhhhhhhh

[PrincePooty]

so ugly his face mask

[Chessmapling]

also anyone willing to help? I'm going to play freshman football next yr at high school.I'm pretty small, only about 5'4 and 130 llbs. I have great acceleration but only average speed. I have good stamina. I have good hands but not great ones. Definitely not going for QB because i'm accurate, but no power. What should I try for? I'm honestly okay with anything you guys suggest

[pochi551]

try 2 play bump on the man since u have good speed and good acceleration and always keep a hand on ur man but not to much so u wnt get a penalty

[Chessmapling]

@zakattack084 120 llbs? i mean to me the most important thing in a corner is speed because if the receiver outruns u, no matter how good your other skills are, you can't touch him. So practice your speed stamina. and 120 llbs is sort of light. I'm also going to high school next year and i'm already 130. i mean, i am slightly on the overweight side but not by that much. You sound like you could be a great TE but 5'7's pretty tall so corner could suit you. idk you'll have to ask some other ppl lol

[adrianeek0086]

somebody help im 5.11 im in 8th grade i weight 155 pounds im going to do freshman football and I dont know how to play I moved from a different country in where football didnt even exist can someone give me a link and tell me what position I should play on?

[drizzit06]

@adrianeek0086 You will have to bulk up quite a bit especially at your height. From there you can go to just about any position.

[Martyrules]

im 5,10 and 145lbs i can tackle and catch but im just starting football as a sophmore, what should i go for? please responed someone

[KidWonder101]

@Martyrules strong safety

[davvv3111]

okay, im a freshmen in highschool and about to start jv football. im bout 5'8, i weigh 130, and im somewhat fast. What position should i try out for? PLEASE REPLY

[weezybaby772]

cornerback. or center. i weigh 132 and i started for CB

[gxxlee]

@davvv3111

running back

[Godofsockpuppets]

Depends, can you get up close and personal? CB if not, Free Safety.

[jondiggs2]

play runningback and corner and hit the weights and run track. later for that jv u need to be tryin to get that varsity exposure early

[ThatDudeNeang]

how about if the WR is a beast!?

[pathchampion]

lol

[kobeisthabest]

yea but i gotta gaurd a 6'3, 210 pound kid that runs really fast my next game and im 5'9 145 pounds how do i gaurd him up close or far back?

[reym613]

datz a huge mis match u got 2 give him a good 5 yards away f4m him , dats wut i do to faster receivers , if hes waaay faster then u den u shud b at least 8 yards away from him

[endzonebiker411]

same here my coach tells me to get close. but inour leage they runn more so you have to beat a block

[GRIDSALEENS7]

play CB almost as well as NNAMDI ASOMUGHA

[carolinamonsta]

thats just common sense. dont play to the receivers advantage

[Mrlileazy1]

bullshit u just gotta react cause WR can always changed they route so play on ya toes feel me

[cappadocia44]

to a certain extent......if u know the WR can burn it, if hes fuckin fast, u may wanna take a step back.....but ya routes always change so u gotta be on ur toes...so part of bein on ur toes is to take a step back cuz hes fast, now u know that ur playin safer on the deep ball, n be ready to jump him if he makes cut....know that ur givin him more of a quishon so be ready to step up on a quick cut

[07titanz]

yo i play cb and back up runnin back but mainly cb and 4 we went to the super bowl in 07' in peewee lol 4th grade but in 5th we went to 2 round of play offs i play 4 columbus

[beastmodeyaass]

just go by wat your best at

i used to take advice

but it never worked

so i listend to wat i kno my body can do

just do wat you need to do

HANDLE BIDNESS

well i dont mean be an idiot either dont get me wrong you need to make sure you listen to some of the advice

[beastmodeyaass]

o ya coach always told me to be close up.

like really close up!

like atleast a foot away

i always got burned

now im atleast 3 yards away aint nothin gettin passed to on me

[HiThereImKester]

I agree, my coach always told me to get close and hit them at the line but that never worked because if they dodge the hit im 3 yards behind them, So I choose to be about 2-3 yards away and backpeddle.

[pepsibigpapi]

yeah same here

[ChargersLVII]

The way my coaches teach it (keep in mind, this is coming from someone who hasn't played a skill position in 3 years, and converted to D-end midway through the Grade 8 season :P), you're supposed to stay just slightly less than arm's length away, if you're bumping. That way, it's easier to recover from the receiver dodging the bump. Once again, keep in mind my experience is mostly as a lineman, and linebacker. I'm just speaking from what I remember :P

[beastmodeyaass]

shoot i go by looking at there hips

no homo

it really works!

they cant fake you out that way

make sure that he makes his cut and then you look at his eyes to see if hes looking for the ball in the air

if he is... look for the ball bam interception

BIG DOG STATUS!!

[gangstagrill81]

zone coverage is waaay beter than man coverage

[emily6895]

your damn right i hate playing man coverage cuz i dont have to keep my eyes on the qb and the reciver in my way

[GoldenHawkFilms]

if your faster then him i always give him alot of cushion so that the QB throws it to him and your quick enough to intercept it. Always works. but you have to be fast..

[Daraku989]

he was right i play cornerback for my high school and the reason he said u give the fst guys more cushin is because it helps u react better on the ball and if your bumpin a fast guy there a very good chance he could put a quick move on u and be gone and its better to bump ig guys because like he said u kno they cant beat u in a foot race so if they do pass u u can easily catch up and most likely get the int i would kno from experience

[JetsRule25]

This is stupid, if you're going up against a fast WR, you want to play up on him. You don't want to let him get full speed while you're back pedaling. Whether you play up or back has to do with what safety help you have over the top. Playing CB is all about knowing where your help is and forcing them that way.

[cjmack305]

EXACTALLY! ull be surprised how many people dont know that

[Therappingsanta]

yeah thats tru! i play DB n jamming fast WR is alot easier than playing them back, but sometimes playing 8 to 10 yrds helps alot against fast wr!

[aj45tuff]

thats nice i won my game from that fly stuff thanks for the vid

[arod252525]

get laid bitch!!!!!!

u always take inside coverage away!!!

no matter if ur playin tite o not

[ipkev15]

look at their stance or hips

[FanOfRobert]

but how do u know if the WR is a fly, or a slant route WR in the game.. its common sense.. so if u leave him a big coushion and he runs a slant ur in big trouble.. this doesnt make sense!!!

[Sothside7]

Look right in his eyes and look at the puples what ever way there looking thats the way there runing some times it works

[brycet93]

doesn't work because i watch the ball if you cant hear qb so what you do is jam him on the line for a sec and knock him down then just get hands on and make a play dont let them get the room to make a move, ill try and make a video when i get my first camera

[mulletman1997]

one word:

VIRGIN

[joshuatoad]

ya from looking at your name yes you are

[DDavis29]

this is pretty basic stuff

[CASEVAR9]

ur faggot u don't know wat the fuck ur talking bout

[ginn3dolphins]

i didnt know recievers could choose what route they like and just do it....im pretty sure there are plays

[cfglove]

this coach is a scrub...

i bet he never played corner a day in his life

[ochocinc0]

yeah i agree he is a scrubhis advice are shit

[skipqtexas]

First of all, when playing cornerback you can win the battle before the battle even begins just on how yu aling yourself based on the wr\s position on the field. Never let hi, inside. The sideline is your friend.
