Now, Im not a head coach and never played CB, but from a Fans perspective, one thing that drives me nuts is when CB don't turn around and look for the ball! I can't recall how many times I see CB stare straight at the WR without taking a quick look around for the ball. I feel when CB take a 1-2 second look to see the ball they can make a play on it. And im talking about the plays where the ball is thrown long distance where the ball hangs in the air and the CB sees the WR looking UP AT THE BALL. Again, Im not a coach, but if someone has any insight as to why maybe they dont turn around and look for the ball. I woudl think that maybe by taking a quick 1-2 second look they can lose the WR? But I mean, CMON, the ball is in the air if they turn their heads around I'm sure the % will go up in pass deflections, INTs, etc.

Any thoughts?
