On 11/2, Analogy posted his point, to reiterate:
quote:
point being, and i've said this for years, that the hardest route to defend is a come-back when the CB's back is turned.
Almost every CB will have his back turned at some point when you are running a vertical route in man coverage.
When the receiver stops and comes back, he will almost ALWAYS have a huge advantage on the defender.
It's time we start using this a bit more.
At first I agreed with this point. However, after several days for reflection, I have a different view, point being, and i've said this for years, that the hardest route to defend is a come-back when the CB's back is turned.
Almost every CB will have his back turned at some point when you are running a vertical route in man coverage.
When the receiver stops and comes back, he will almost ALWAYS have a huge advantage on the defender.

Though I currently have a different outlook than Analogy it's possible that should we sit down and discuss our opinions over an adult beverage or three, I might come around to his original point. To recap:

Or not.
