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.

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?

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

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 .....
