The "kick-step" has become the bread and butter technique for CBs around the @NFL after coaches watched Pete Carroll's @seahawks "Legion of Boom" strangle WRs on the perimeter. I originally learned the technique from Pro Bowl CB James Hasty during my time with the @chiefs in the mid-1990s (Carroll coached Hasty with the @nyjets ). At the Senior Bowl, I had a chance to watch @clevelandbrowns DB coach DeWayne Walker teach the technique to South's defensive backs.. Coaching Points: 1. Balance stance at the line (keep hands up) 2. Take a 6-inch lateral step with outside foot at first sign of movement 3. Step and replace to the side of the replace. 4. Use an "off-hand" jam (hand opposite the release. Aim for the nearest number on chest) 4. Next step and replace should be at a 45-degree angle (don't chase WR on wide release. Take a cut off angle) 5. Maintain a "top down" position (Stay on upfield shoulder to take away deep route and squeeze WR to the sideline or funnel WR to your help on an inside release in Cover 1) 6.
