shutdown corners
 

Does anyone out there have a corner that seems to stick to receivers like glue? If so, what figure is it? what base do you use? and how do you use the figure? Do you keep him on one side or do you put him on your opponents top receiver?

2 guys for you.

buzzball "shutdown" corners are pretty good. goto buzzball.com, or 4buzzball.com. its one of those urls.
also
if you can get your hands on Reg Rutledge's customizing dvd, he shows you how to make a chuck at the LOS CB who i hear is extremely effective. you can find that at Footballfigures.net. , or try Footbalfigures.net (with one L ).

but at the same time, though these guys are good corners, there are always ways to beat these dudes.

so absolute shutdown cb's? NO

Very good corners? YES

Hope this helps. Other guys here on the forum could tell you even better than i could.

Shut down corners
 

Mr Downs is right. The buzz ball figure is excellent. A base with a flat top is more likely to hold the palyer in case the outstreached hands do not. I personally do no like using using them in this fashion as they limit game play too much. Also, the figure is to heavy to represent cornerbacks. I do not paint these figure as corners in the teams that I create. I use the miggle ends or the appropraite FF.com figures as they are more realistic.
Does anybody out there agree with me?mgngcrz

What he said !
There has not been an unbeatable corner made yet.

any base that has a good straight front should work well.

Combinations
 

I'm finding it is the type of figure and base combination and the angle of contact you set.

All receivers are different - different types of figure/bases combinations to defend against.

Also - as in real football a combination of coverages is also very effective - forcing coaches to pass into coverage - sometimes this is enough to deter the pass.

Disguising a coverage - great technique.

Also "running: man -to-man works - if you can train the player to do it.

these are the figures that I use on the Corners

1 - Fab 5 DB
2 - Fab 5 RB
3 - BB OL (only sometimes)

use a Rookie base most of the time (frosty or BB green)

most use BB-Ol with a TTC .....

There is a science to this
 

While I don't think any type of corner is 100% foolproof, I have had great success with what I term, "The Shutdown Corner".

There is a difference between the cover cover corner and the shutdown corner in that the cover corner is more created in an effort to chuck you at the LOS, release and then run with you. It invites you to throw into coverages. The corners are very strong as well and will man-up on a receiver.

The shutdown corner was created to be the most physical player on the team. For 60 minutes, he is put on an island against regular athletes and athlestes with arrow bases.

He is the anchor (along with the RLB and DT) of our defensive schemes. Yes, every once in a while, under speed time clocks, you may mis an assignment but for the most part, if you place the player in the right spot, he will defintely handle up on his business.

Take a look at this Youtube footage of one of my "Shutdown Corners".
