I played linebacker and Rb in jr high and I didn't get tired, but in high school I played Corner and I couldn't play both ways because it was tiring. TOO MANY TRANSITIONS AND FOOTWORK.
Corners have to run the receiver's routes backwards, we have harder conditioning,Jam like an O-Lineman,and have to be faster than most offensive players
@akshayxbx Lol nigga i bench 350 and 40 is 4.52 and my pro gility is 4.0 flat cuz come on im 6ft 220 play OLB/SS for texas state d-1 in the wac conference even be happy im replyin to this u see it took me over a yr lol but cb is not the hardest position stop sayin that shit. We give u lil niggas your props, btu come on half you corners r a sorry excuse for corner when i know pleny of LB'S including myself in todays spread game that re bigger, faster, and stronger smfh corner yea right GET BIG
@superbuu122 have you ever covered a dude that has a whole foot on you no us corners do before you try to say something about us corners you should play our position. i played linebacker and come to find that corner is much harder.
Being somebody who has played WR and CB I can honestly say tht CB is harder than WR. 1st off the WR knows the play b4 it starts and knows where he needs to be which the CB does not.Every play for a CB is almost a guessing game. On top of this WR's are running forward each and every play while CB have 2 be fast in their back peddle as well as when running forward. Theres so much more transitioning that CB's have 2 do because they have 2 play the WR even when playing zone coverage. D>O period
@youngstunnaification Im not dumb, just speaking the truth. Being a good WR takes more than talent. Its about having good timing , percise route running, and being where your Qb needs you to be. You probaly a defensive player but you must not want to understand how technical you have to be when playing WR at the higher levels of football.
@shinsonic12 WR doesnt have as nearly as much responsibility as a corner. recievers can slack some plays . At corner if you mess up for one play, it shows plenty of ways
@shinsonic12 yea i feel you im not saying that just anyone can play WR, but more pressure is put on corners and the job at hand is just harder. The WR knows what is gonna happen in the play and the DB has to react. I know both r hard to play at the D1 or D1-AA level but i just think in these levels more is expected from me than the recievers
@youngstunnaification I've played corner at every level except pro and it is hard but you know what Linebacker is probably the hardest mental position out there because they have every responsibility on the field and they can get beat in so many ways unlike a corner just by a reciever but corner is a very challenging position. I love it though but i love playing safety more.
@savone99 yea, it all depends on your hips at corner in high school. If your even 5'4'' at the varsity level, it doesnt matter if you can move your hips and mirror an offensive player with athleticism. You have good height, so no worries/ just fill out (weight) and listen to your coaches.
I play on a Semi-Pro team as a D back and am a pretty good jammer. If your're a corner and you like to bump & run, make these WR's cry and yell in practice. Be as physical as possible before they get off the line. I've played every other sport before this and this was the one for me, and when the WR on my team tell me I can't be that physical in the game, I make sure the next time they are on the floor and out of the play.
The reason I know half of you people don't play cornerback is because no one mentioned that you need to switch your stance depending on the WR. If a WR is faster or stronger than you, you generally want to play 5-7 yards off. If a WR is slower than you or just doesn't start off fast, that's when you play bump coverage. And by the way, in my opinion the post/slant is the hardest passing route to cover because you never know when they're going to break. Take this info from a REAL CORNERBACK (me).
The slant is easy my man, one hint is if the receiver is lined up ON or outside of the numbers most likely he is going inside. If you are playing off, turn your body slightly towards the QB and load your back foot, take your read steps and come down hill. You want to really focus on the QB and the WR out of you peripheral to see when his hips settle and lean. Your break should be simultaneous with the QB release and WR hip drop. It will guide you to the play.
Also, the slant is going to be coming out fast on the short side because the quarterback has a small window to throw in before the receiver drifts into LB territory. The time in which the quarterback has to throw the slant depends on if he's throwing the slant on the wide side or short side of the field. If he is throwing the slant on the short side it will come out quick, but if the slant route is being done on the wide side the quarterback has more time to allow for the receiver to separate.
@LastCalltoBoogie that is actually really true with where the wr lines up. but its just my team uses me like darelle revis and puts me 1 on 1 a lot so i don't have much help from the olb on my side when there is a slant. thats why i play release a lot cuz im the only one covering and if i get beat, they score. so slants/posts are generally pretty hard but if they do catch the slant they only get around 2 yards so its not too bad. i've been playing cb since i was 6 btw .
@2d181 So you are in cove 0 a lot. I can understand your predicament, but still use your hints like WR alignment, short side, wide side, short field, and long field to get an idea of the play. As a CB i know you have to react to the situation, but use your keys for awareness of what could happen. Practice your technique so that it becomes second nature, and then use your reads to allow yourself to make plays,and always maintain your confidence.
@LastCalltoBoogie yeah , i practice a lot. but as a cb, you have too. no one can just come in and play cb like you can with runningback or wr. i can back peddle faster than a few players running forward on my team haha. but i love cb and im only in 8th grade but i see myself at hs level and i think i have enough potential too make it to the pros.. just gotta keep me hopes up i guess (:
Keep it up man you have a good understanding of the game already it seems, and you are still developing. Don't be so worried about weight training at your age if you are, just practice technique,technique, and technique - off coverage and press. Maintain your flexibility, and get involved with track, soccer, baseball, boxing and basketball would help out a lot. Focus on being an all around athlete and it will help out greatly at the corner position.
there is no hardest position to play in the game, i wish yo uall would stop with that. Its all relative to whos playiong the position. In secondary, yeah corner is hardest, in Lb, dL, Ol, Qb, etc, no it isnt the hardest to play. If u say that, then LB is, cuz i am MLB, yet I cover reicevers and jam as well like a corner, yet ican go with TE and shed blocks, and blitz. SO, then LB would be the hardest. ESP todays LBS vs spread offense
@superbuu122 i doubt it have you ever played corner in state championship level? god damn.
What makes it hard isnt that you cant cover even if you lose concentration for a second in zone or man youre toast and you got a red hot coach looking right at ya.
quarterback is the only position harder than corner... shut the fuk up bcuz u dont play cb nd i do . i wuld kno, it took me 7 years to get really gudd at cb. lots of practice too, no one can jst come in nd play cb like u can with wr or rb
@superbuu122 if you took a corner and put him at LB he will be alright (if he is a hitter), if you put a LB at corner he will be burnt to a crisp ( just sayin)
@jimmyftbl19 you prolly havent played corner.. yes its the hardest mentally and the receiver has an unfair advantage. what do you think the hardest is? Only comparison is if you say QB but still be a tough argument
@youngstunnaification Yes i play for a JC college (soon d2-d1) and its hard as hell to play coner you dont just have to be good and fast and strong and have a great backpedel but you must think alot as well. which sounds easy but when you can 0.01 secs to decited things what route he is running, where he is going, ect. Its very hard because if you choose wrong your benched for the game and maby for more then just that. everyone is watching you as well, so you cant blame anything but you.
Unlike AI, you gotta practice, practice, and practice some more. CB is THE toughest position to play physically in the game, and all that Marcus said is true, but you can only excel by practicing until you are exhausted. Stay low, stay on your toes, don't ever cross your feet and keep those feet moving. Technique and physical fitness are what is needed to be a good cb.....
There so many complex ways for jamming. It isnt as simple as some think. This is my first year playing football, im 17in college, but i start Strong safety. You can jam from 4yds back, leaving the reciever unexpecting any contact, you can fake jams and make them swim for no reason, wasting time. 1 hand jams leading into 2 hand complete jams, there so many ways to funnel a reciever into your route -jam, press coverage is the way to go for me. requires speed, strenght, and great reaction time.
i sometimes jam the reciever, but i mostly play off man. Thanks for this video because i really wanted good tips on how to jam a receiver in a good technique!
marcuc trufant gave u great tips for using press coverage, he said its starts off with your stance, u always wanna be low, and u always wanna be comfortable, thats the main part, it starts with stance, and u always wanne be ready to play.
