I played flanker and rt corner as a sophomore, free safety as a junior, and strong safety as a senior in the Big Ten. I can't remember hearing instruction, or attempting to force a wide receiver to do anything. You should position yourself inside because you force the quarterback to throw over your coverage to complete the pass. The philosophy must have worked because nothing was completed in my zone when I was man to man. Our QB told me he wouldn't even attempt a pass against me in practice

@carefulcarpenter, bull shit u played big 10....."nothing was completed in my zone when i was man to man", you dont have a fuckin zone if you're in man to man. was that NCAA football 09 you're talking about maybe? xbox hero

[carefulcarpenter]

@Dalby1617 I lettered three years. Played with Tony Dunge when he was as freshman; I was a senior. About 10 years after, I saw the coach at a banquet, and he was VERY respectful to me; he said he heard I was a great woodworker and self-employed. The sports training taught me more about life than simply how to win, but how the game of football often reflects the game of life.

Your zone is a mental space outside of the REAL world-- Jesus called it the Kingdom of Heaven.

[carefulcarpenter]

@Dalby1617 IN THE ZONE is a frame of mind. On the field their are no line establishing your zone. Whether you are playing man-to-man or zone defense, you still have a "zone" which establishes you position and who you cover, depending on a few factors ie. formation, defensive play call, coverage. If you have high sports intelligence, you can overcome some lack of speed, but speed rarely will overcome a lack of intelligence.

This is an important aspect in life that reflects sports.

[carefulcarpenter]

This is most likely the reason my coach was so respectful when he heard I had excelled in a competitive world and was able to succeed by pursuing my passion. Every customer who comes into my zone is respected and covered 100%. That's the American way to success. You don't force the opponent to do anything; you position yourself for success-- and if you do that, your team has a better chance of winning.

expert my ass you retard

[towucesok]

Please don't follow these instructions DB's. YouTube please delete this tutorial...

[WMCproducer]

dont force him out dumbshit, force them in and let your linebackers take care of his ass

[SGTshank1]

@WMCproducer A linebacker covering a receiver? Idont think so.....

[d0ughboifresh]

wow this taught me so much things lol j/k

[marvinsthebest]

wow dumb ass i can teach to play corner better then that damn

[noskwasa]

ur stance leverage and mental weight all depend on the coverage and where your help is.

[cassidybabiigurl14]

line up inside of the receiver and learn to use ur hands to make him go where you want him to go. Impose Your Will on the receiver.

[carluvur]

hahahaha look at his face mask buttcrack lmao those are horrible at least a 3 bar

[beastmodeyaass]

thats actually good advice

[beastmodeyaass]

duh

[hop352]

y would you want the wide reciver to the outside

you should be trying to put him in the inside

[anarchyskater737]

maybe ur just slow as fuck and cant cover the fade.

[MiikkaKipper]

If you're inside the receiver, and hes a good blocker, he'll keep u inside,and the RB will have a wide open field to get at LEAST 10 yrds.

plus if ur outside of him, and he does get the ball u can cram him inside and get help from the rest of the defence

[MrShutdown213]

@hop352 only if its cover 2

[crizzad]

hahaha we have people on my ftball team that have crappy stance...

(5a high school, North Texas Varsity lvl...

just in case you were wondering

p.s. im a jr in high school)

[xblademaster]

he almost right about the way u line up with the reciever. see i play CB for my highschool and what i do is i line to the side where he would have no choice but to run his route diffrently. that is how you force a reciever to go off route

[ANTANIW20]

why the hell would u wanna push the WR to the outside u wanna force the ball carrier inside where more help is...he know wat hes talkin bout stance wise but not really anyting else

[bucks36wlb]

If you push him inside and if he is running a slant, you just helped him out and you are toast. Especially if you are in man coverage since more than likely a linebacker is going to be blitzing that reciever will just replace that linebacker if you push him inside. You push him outside you can be underneath of him for a PBU or INT. Sometimes you may want to push him inside though. Just depends where he is at in the offensive formation and where the ball is on the field.

[Eagle20awall]

techinically its not your assignment to run him into the middle and get a pick unless its man coverage, linebackers got middle corners job is outside containment

[Phoenixrevived]

Wow this guy knows nothing about CB's...

First off you only line up like that when its man on man coverage, anyother time when theres more than one reciever you line up 6yrds, and stand in a shuffle position, with feet splitting there crotch. That way you can look easier at other recievers, but w/e.

This guy is probably making his no life sons wear pads and help him try to make some tip videos. Dont listen to him, just listen to what your coach tells you to do, please him, and everyones happy!

[brycet93]

yeh probaly i bet no one who thinks he is good knows the dfference in cover 2 or 3 not to mention the other like 4 or 0 or 8 so yeh i play cb and i figured out that the best way to be good is to pancake the guy your on other wise just make a play

[flickthekick]

Man this is great, im using these tips in my football games. Thanks!
