Will the DBs turn heads to look for the ball?

A new coaching regime has me wondering if the DBs will consistently turn their head to look at the incoming ball? Or, will they do what seemed to be what was taught, and just watch the receiver only to have so many times a ball float right into the WR hands and miss the opportunity to swat or pick it.
I'm far from a technique or coaching expert and won't claim to know what's best.

But watching the passes be caught without the DB ever looking at the ball until it was safely secured in the WR hands drove me nuts!
 
Let's hope so, but that was an issue in both of Ambrose's stints here. The CBs did a better job watching for the ball under Clark.

Great question. I think they were taught to look at the guy not turn their heads and then grab him before the ball got there. I’m sure we lead the world I’m PI calls for the last 5 years

Yes
 
don't know, but i am not feeling super-confident about the DBs right now-- still a lot of shuffling and position battles. if we can hold up in the secondary, i think we could have a decent defense.

We are going to give up a lot of points thru the air, I’m afraid.
 
i suspect we are going with a platoon process in the secondary... problem is i am not sure we have 2-3 for reals guys identified to anchor it all.
