He can cry all he wants about it, but what DBs are doing and taught today is
MILES AHEAD of what DBs were taught in the 90s. It's not even close.
They have to be considering how the rules have been skewed against them over the years. You're going to see more solid DB coaching to counteract the offensive advantages receivers have benefitted from.
My son is a SS/Nickel corner and I've dived head first into the DB rabbit hole after myself playing DB in the 80s/90s. DBs are taught so much more now. When Chad tried to convince what he does would work today to Jamar Chase, and Jamar REFUSED to accept it saying that it would
NOT WORK on Pat Surtain and gave the reasons why.
this ain't yesteryear.
Aquib Talib on a podcast talked about training his nephew to play DB wishing coming up he was taught all the shyt he now knows or he would've been a better DB. I LITERALLY learned more about playing DB watching Revis every week, myself being flabby and sick, than I did any corner during my playing days. You have DeAngelo Hall saying they used to watch Revis film a day after he played calling it "teach tape." That type of footage wasn't able to circulate in Michael's day. No one was teaching us as DBs back in the 80s/90s to eliminate certain patterns from a receivers route tree depending where you are at a 5 yards into the play. Today's DBs have to practically play QB.
I made my son watch some past DBs thinking "back in my day" was just as good and he constantly kept pointing out what 80s and 90s DBs were doing wrong.....and he was
100% CORRECT each and every time based on what he's taught right now. Lil niqqa looked disgusted at the old shyt.
Even down to the tackling, this little niqqa was saying "How come they aren't using the "same foot, same shoulder" to tackle?" I couldn't say shyt because he was dead ass correct.
Michael needs to understand that shyt is different....and BETTER. These DBs today shyt on what was out there back in the day. But there are still so many shytty DBs in the league now.
