Slide or Shuffle technique for corners

DC29-


Coach I have personally struggled with the shuffle technique. When I played I leard backpetal and plant and go. It's hard for me to teach my kids to shuffle then backpetal. I think that the technique is great as long as they do it right. The idea of shuffling before the backpetal is to read the quarterbacks drop. If it's a three step drop you break on the receiver. If it's a five then your corner knows to backpetal and turn and run. This techique only works when the corner is about 7 yard off the ball. I think that the corners have an edge if they can read the quarterback and still read the route of the receiver. So I hope that I have helped you out. If you have any questions let me know.
