DMN Blog: Terence Newman teaches the WRs, too
by Tim MacMahon
Terence Newman considers mentoring the young cornerbacks part of his job. He's also a huge help to the young receivers on the roster.
Third-year WR Miles Austin gives Newman credit for helping him learn how to get off press and jam coverage.
"That's the main thing I feel like I got better at since my rookie year," Austin said. "That's a tough thing to do, especially coming from a small school like me."
Austin said he rarely saw press coverage while playing at Monmouth, and he could overpower small cornerbacks who did try to play up on him. But he couldn't beat NFL press coverage without completely overhauling his technique.
Newman occasionally works with the young receivers after practices. He's often in their ears during practice, telling them what works against cornerbacks and what doesn't.
Austin seems to have learned well. Matter of fact, he got inside Newman on a slant for a TD in goal-to-go work during the afternoon workout.
