DB turning there head back,this is why or why not

[37620VOL]

This is really, really simple. On a deep ball, if you're step for step with a guy, by all means turn and look. If your over a yard behind and you turn and look, then your going to look like an idiot because the trajectory of the ball is hopelessly over your head and you've eliminated any chance you have of making the tackle or stripping the ball loose.

I saw Brain Randolph explain the turned head on the sports source this past Sunday ,it is at the 11:15 mark in this segment

Sports Source the last one that says players only

if your not even with the receiver don't look back,you will lose a step or two

A lot of our corner back problems the last few years we're actually Brian Randolph was really just not very good at anticipating the proper place to help

Saban explained it perfectly, going back to his days facing Terry Bradshaw. And it was inspired by a question from a call in radio show. Imagine that. Link above.

I like the "some guys turn and look every time" technique.

If the WR is looking back, it must slow him down a step or two also.

It's all about feel and timing. Like a lot of other thing in sports.........................

Yes, when the WR turns his head he slows down. And experienced WRs will use that head turn to fake the DB out. Much like a pump fake on a safety, if that DB takes a peek, that precisely what the WR wants. Now he can veer, turn, stop, whatever to get separation. Learning to feel and read the WR takes time to get good at it.

In fact, Pruitt didn’t like how Nigel Warrior or Micah Abernathy approached this play, believing Tennessee’s safeties should’ve been playing the ball.

“We preach all the time, once you get past 15 yards you should look back for the ball,” Pruitt said. “Micah should’ve looked back for the ball right there. It hit him in the back of the head.”
