Is a speed turn when a DB turns to the middle of the field?
Also, do you teach your Corners to stay on the hip if they can not get over the top of the receiver?

I feel that the speed turn is a last resort type of move when the receiver has established separation. For example, on the post corner pattern, if it is being run properly, the receiver should look to split the over and under coverage in the hole. Against a man coverage technique, I teach the receiver to break at 45 and run away from the DB and FS. The speed turn allows for the DB to get more depth to try and get back over the top of the route. I prefer fmrgriffensafety's technique of riding the upfield hip and using "incidental" contact with a hip flip to stick right on the receiver.

We also play the route two ways depending on the safety structure, we use both one and two deep safeties in our man schemes. One deep, over the top and in trail position after the first break; two deep, underneath the post cut and in cut off position after the first break. We usually try to play any route down the middle of the field in our two deep structure from underneath to force a perfect throw and allow the safeties to play the smash combos and fades.
