I noticed a couple of players looking around as if to say ..where is ???/


that's typically what happens when someone blows a zone assignment.

as far as d-backs not turning around, this is mostly a sign that you've been beaten on the play and your only hope is to make a physical play on the receiver. If you try to play the ball you're going to give up a big play and possibly a score.

Basically what Saban indicates in that article. If you are on the receiver's hip, turn your head and play the ball, if not, play the receiver (go off of his hands and eyes to make a play).

quote:

Now, if you’re in-phase with him when he gets into the move area, you should be become the receiver and look for the ball. That’s what you should do, and then the ball has to go through you.
“If you’re in the out-of phase position, which means you can’t see his near number, you can’t be even with him, then you have to play the guy’s eyes and hands for the ball because you’re not in position...

When there are four receivers do we still stay in zone coverage? Is this the reason for letting receivers blow by and not staying on the receiver?
