Is corner the most difficult position to evaluate?


Jan 23, 2013, 11:51 AM

I wouldn't think so, but it seems we miss there more than any other position.

Evidently OL is...every year we need bigger and better ones.***

Well if your not getting better, what are you getting? Team success can be measured in the maintenance and improvement of the O and D line. With the athleticism of defensive linemen these days you have to have a stable of offensive linemen to stay relevant, something we haven't had in a while.

Exactly. We are NOT getting what we need.***

I've heard it's the position that has the least TRUE players


Jan 23, 2013, 4:19 PM

As in, a lot of guys will play hybrid LB, or corner and safety, or corner and WR. Not enough guys put themselves as that single position.

If you think about it, it makes sense

These highly-rated DB's are more than likely the best player on their team. If I'm a high school coach and my job is to win games, I'm going to put my best guy in the position to make the most plays. So if the other team has a stud wideout, I might play him solely at CB on D, but he is going to play both ways.

Until recently players in high school have not been expected to excel at coverage because not many elite QB/WR combos existed in high school. I think as the spread evolves you will see more and more true corners that excelled at the position in high school instead of athletes that fit the bill.

When I played high school ball


Jan 23, 2013, 12:18 PM

Our starting DB's were our starting WR's and RB's. The strategy being to get your best athletes the ball I suppose. I played OL and DL so I was not included in that

Jan 23, 2013, 12:50 PM

That is part of what I am getting at. You won't see as many two way coverage guys with the spread offenses because they will be too winded to play both directions. My high school played a lot of guys both ways also but they didn't exactly have to put in a full effort on both sides of the ball.

My vote would go to Guard or Tackle


Jan 23, 2013, 12:05 PM

Have to have the God given size, then add balance and athleticsm to it while staying in shape, but not losing weight. Plus have strong knees and ankles to withstand the punishment of getting up and down and supporting 300+ lbs of weight. YIKES!

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

We should just offer CB that LSU offers.

They seem to be able to scout them well.

It is the most difficult to play..


Jan 23, 2013, 12:29 PM

You have to be able to run and cust as fast as a reciever, without knowing the route. You have to keep your hands to yourself while looking backwards, yet still maintian contact with the reciever. In addition to that you have to be mentally tough.
You also end up being the last line of defense on running plays, making contact with a back (who usually outweighs you by 30 lbs) only after he has gotten up to full speed.

As difficult as it is to play, it can also be made easier with hard work and dedication to film. Trying to diagnose tips that the receivers give, knowing the down and yardage, and offensive tendancies. Just as much mental as it is physical.

college level..

So many kids are good at the high school level simply because of their size advantage over usually much inferior opponents.

Very difficult to project which kids from high school have the actualy ability\mental ability to play at the college level.
