Off coverage man to man (Nnamdi Asomugha)

START DEEP:
You want to start 7 yards deep and give yourself a little gap to be ready. That means stay low and loose as the receiver comes toward you. Keep your eyes focused on your hips and watch for the turn where he's going to try to get past you. You're not going to let that happen.

TURN ON TIME:
The turn is all about the timing. You want to turn about 3 or 4 yards ahead of him, so you're not completely sold in case he wants to run by you. Your 3 or 4 yards is your cushion, and you want to turn before the receiver breaks that cushion. If he breaks it, you might lose either way.

BREAK UNDERNEATH:
When he's ready to break, you'll know it. Watch his hips and watch them turn towards his new destination. Get between the receiver and the ball and beat him to the ball. You have the angle and the speed to get there when he does. If not before.

UPFIELD HAND:
There's a lot of ways to break up a ball, but here's the right way. Use the upfield hand to reach and swat it away, and leave your other hand to take him down in case it gets past you. You are securing the tackle, and securing the ball at the same time.

[NYgiantsBEATpackers]

Eagles i respect you but Giants are the best

[MsInspyre]

the only reason nnamdi has not done as well this year is because eagles have 3 top corners yet they still insist on running alot of zone coverage . dallas game when the eagles ran man to man covrage all game they shut the cowboys down. 35-7 and im a Dallas fan

Best Cornerback..... Nah.. what has he done this season?

And both teams in the top comments SUCK

[KillerODeath3456]

Anyone remember seeing Victor Cruz show this guy whos boss?

[SportzAgents]

Nandi is better than Revis, maybe just not this year becuz he is a a great man to man corner and the eagles r playing him in Zone

[FireControversial]

the best cornerback is darrelle revis

[pigboy564]

awkward when both the top comments are slightly wrong..

[SwagMaster1515]

Will you Go to Heaven when you Die?(Here's a quick test) Have you ever lied, stolen, committed adultery(Jesus said if you even look with lust it's adultery) Will you be guilty on Judgment Day? Be honest. You know you will be guilty and end up in Hell. But God is not willing That Any perish. God loves us so much He sent Jesus Christ to suffer and die on the Cross and He rose from the dead. Today, Repent(Confess and Forsake your Sins) and trust in JESUS Christ then read the Bible and Obey it.

My team makes us go 7-8 yards back because we run more zone but you can get a little closer. We don't mind those short completions but we wont allow the long passes. This depends on your style and team. Off-man is useful because it means being burnt less but it's more useful if you do go back this far.
