I could never figure out how to manage the field though. I used to always let someone slip behind me.
I prefer being on the line, I was a DE. I like to instantly react to something and then go after the ball. I did not want to chase someone around, change directions, and then make the tackle.

Of course every player has to learn his position and some are better at certain things than others. But there is no logical reason that ALL the CB's have to be small and fast when many of the WR's are now big, tall, and fast.
Terrell Owens could probably be without a doubt one of THE top CB's simply because of his size, speed, and height. The difference between him and Champ Bailey is that they both would be great CB's except that TO would have a 6 inch reach advantage on every high pass.
