Regardless of if the corner funnels #1 receiver to his side to safety help, he HAS to not only take speed off of #1 but he must also try and jam for as long as he can. The Bama receiver's route should've been eliminated, but the corner didn't do his job the way he was coached to.
But where was the Georgia safety? How did the corner get beat so soundly? #Questions

Ricky coached my youth football team all throughout elementary and middle school. Lafayette Panthers DPR 2007 Champs. One of my 🐐s fasho 🤞🏾.
This is Ricky Davenport. He’s the manager’s of D.C.’s Northwest Little League team. Fun fact: he was a young coach in that league when yerboy played for the 1993 NWLL All-Stars. This is so beyond cool to see him on a big stage and I am completely IN THE TANK for my old squad.
