Dan Jackson - DB Techniques / Coverages to Take Away Opponents Top WR

Defensive backs have very demanding and challenging tasks every game, to cover and contain the opposing teams' fastest and most agile players. One poor play by your defensive back can cost your team a chunk of yards if not a touchdown. It is the defensive back's responsibility to ensure touchdowns are not scored when a defensive lineman or linebacker misses a tackle. 

Defensive backs can develop certain techniques to help them contain wide receivers, making contact off the line or within five yards to disrupt their route running and timing with the quarterback. It's important to keep your eyes on the receiver's hips, keep your feet moving, and hands up ready to go.
