Lot of people have been asking me to talk about William Gay in some film room sessions for the offseason. It was a little hard for me to center in on a topic but going through his tape last year, it reminded me about the position in general. It’s so difficult to pick up.
Artie Burns was able to make the transition as an outside corner because it’s a simpler position to play. Especially when you keep the scheme as watered down as possible, peppering in as much Cover 2 as possible. And even he struggled mightily at times.
