Off-man coverage starts at the takeoff. Don't lose cushion by stepping back late—push off your front foot and reach with your back to gain ground instantly and keep your depth.

Some talented DBs look slow in press coverage because they’re thinking too much.
The receiver is releasing while you’re still running through a checklist.
Here’s how to prepare your mind so your feet can play faster. 🧵
6/7
When you review a lost rep, look beyond the feet and hands.
Did you know your leverage?
Were your eyes disciplined?
Did you trust your technique?
Sometimes the physical mistake starts with uncertainty before the snap.
7/7
Press coverage takes technique, preparation and confidence.
I wrote The Art of Press to help players and coaches understand how those pieces fit together.

Budda Baker breaks down his rugby-inspired tackling mechanics, demonstrating how he evades blockers by "staying skinny" before squaring up to forcefully strike with his shoulder and securely wrap the ball carrier for a controlled takedown.
Good message for young DBs in high school.... Ohio St. Freshman DB Jay Timmons speaking on being undersized early on in high school and developing confidence to becoming highly recruited. Stay the course
Recruiting has changed. Size, the transfer portal, and your film decide everything. If you’re a DB chasing offers, learn what coaches actually look for and avoid the mistakes that get your tape skipped.

Too many young DBs line up in press, give the receiver all the space he wants, then grab when they get beat.
It’s called PRESS for a reason.
Your hands have a job. Here’s what gets lost when you stop using them. 🧵
Train the whole skill:
• Eyes that stay disciplined
• Feet that maintain position
• Hands that disrupt the release
Practice them together until you can trust them in competition.
That’s why I wrote The Art of Press.
If you’re a DB learning press or a coach teaching it, my new book gives you a deeper look at the craft.
