Shaw, do you know what a sprint is? It doesn't matter how far it is, its a burst to full speed from a lower speed. In the situation your talking about, when a cornerback makes a read, he sprints to either the path of the trajectory of the ball or to the receiver its intended for. He doesn't back peddle or walk like a crab to make a tackle. Just because you can think of a few situations in which a cornerback doesn't have to sprint, doesn't mean he that he doesn't need to have the ability to sprint to be a cornerback.
Can you at least agree that MOST of the time a cornerback has to sprint when he is involved in the play?
This is probably the stupidest argument I've ever been a part of, can someone help me out here? Throw me a fucking bone?
