This is why our CBs don't look back for the ball when they're in phase...
And it’s just as easy as you describe it too right? There’s a reason tru lock downs get paid it’s because they’re the few who can actually do what you describeI don't criticize Rumph for the CB's not turning their head around on certain plays, it's more of a natural technique that you have in finding the ball in the air, it can be taught through coaching, but it has more to do with timing & understanding how you're playing the WR on the route more so than just instructional details.
On that particular play, him getting his head around wasn't the problem, he flipped his hips the wrong way & went to the outside instead of maintaining leverage on the inside shoulder. He mistimed the jump & stopped moving his feet, if he keeps engaging with the WR while locating the ball & flips to the inside essential posting up the WR he would've had a better play on the ball.
Top corners don't even do it all the time. That's why you see a lot of corners try to play through the wr eyes.And it’s just as easy as you describe it too right? There’s a reason tru lock downs get paid it’s because they’re the few who can actually do what you describe

It was just funny cause LCE was correct but man it’s sooooooo hard to do. There’s a reason that outside of QB, and top notch CB is the second most valuable piece you can have in footballTop corners don't even do it all the time. That's why you see a lot of corners try to play through the wr eyes.
