Where is the Corner back if there is no wide receiver on his side?

Question

Where exactly should the Corner back be if there is no WR on his side?

Answer 1

depends on the defense.

if you are playing cover 2 it doesnt matter you stay on your side and cover your zone.

Cover 3 though against 2 wideout the corner could move and cover the wr on his side or stay depending on the coaching style.

man to man coverage the cb always follows his wr.

Basically its all depends on the play thats called and if its zone or man to man.

Answer 2

corner backs usually come in a little closer if there is not a reciever he has to cover. line up about 5 yards out from the defensive end. watch the backfield and if a running back gets the pitch or runs out for a pass its your responsibility.  

Answer 3

Jesse is best answer. Only thing I would add is that if a man coverage is on, they could run a man switch meaning a safety/corner/LB could take his man if he motions and him pick up a te or rb on his side.

Answer 4

Depends on the defense.  In HS man-to-man the corner would be over the tight end.  

In most HS man coverages the corner has the farthest outside receive on his side.  The safeties have the second receiver (which may be the tailback, tight end, or third running back) and the LBs have the third receiver (Usually the FB) or hook zones if he doesn't go out.  

Answer 5

if its just a one WR set then the corner back beocmes a 4th lineback, so the defense becomes like a 4-4

Answer 6

It depends on the type of play being called.  If the O is running only 1 WR, and the D has 2 corners, they are most likey in an unfavorable matchup.  The O will most likely be in their jumbo formation, meaning that the D shouls match up with an extra LB, like a 4-4-3.  I corner lining up as a OLB will likely be responsible for containment on his side, which would entail taking a blocker on which would be a pulling G, TE or FB.  All of which should be able to knock the snot bubbles out of him and free the HB up to run around the end easily.  

Answer 7

He would move to the side where the other WR is. Or he would move to the TE and Gaurd him and the Saftey would pick up the WR

Answer 8

He goes to the other side where more wide recievers are at.

Answer 9

he would move to the other side (where ever the wr is)
