In small town high school football, where the running game reigns supreme, the cornerback position is often greatly overlooked. Many coaches don't know how to properly coach the position, so they're schemed into a deep third of the field and forgotten about until they give up the big play that seals a win for the cross-town rival. However, if the proper personnel are used, you may find the confidence in your players to get them more involved, and even break free from the overly-common "we don't have the players to run man coverage" ideology.
On this episode Joe and Daniel are joined by Dominique Franks, DB coach for the USFL's New Jersey Generals, to talk all about how to pick the personnel you use at the cornerback position based off of your scheme and ways to identify who your best corners really are.
