[Extra Point]

The one thing that I loved about Alexander is that he looked back when the ball was in the air.  If there is one thing that I think our cb's have struggled with, it is looking back for the ball.  It can be taught, but there is a degree of instinct to it.  I'd be interested in Gary Cobb's take.

I think corner backs are taught to look back when they are step for step with the receiver on long balls. And, they are taught that when you have been beaten on long balls your opportunity to catch up and make a tackle is when the receiver looks for the ball. On short and medium routes, if a corner back looks back the reciever has an opportunity to change direction. If this is the design of the play it could mean 6 ponts.
