Cornerbacks defend the wide receivers and protect the "corner" of the offensive alignment, not letting plays get outside of them. Their responsibilities include:
1) Defend the wide receivers on pass plays with deep, and outside responsibilities 2) Defend end sweeps (running plays) by turning the play inside for the linebackers This diagram shows CB's in a 4-3 alignment (which is the same as CB's in a 3-4). One CB prospect may be selected over another based on the following factors: A. Prevailing defensive philosophy: Some defenses play press coverage with more man-to-man responsibilities while others play a two-deep zonewith the CB's playing soft, keeping the play in front of them. Based on the alignment, a CB may have safety help over the top or have to cover the receiver all over the field. B. Opponent's offensive philosophy: the West Coast Offense has short drops, quick reads and passes for a "run after catch" mentality. On the other hand, a running attack with play action passing emphasizes longer patterns. The size of WR's within the division (small/quick vs big/fast) may dictate the sizeof CB that a team drafts. |
