Through the first two weeks of the NFL season, Washington Redskins cornerback Josh Norman hasnt shadowed the opposing teams top receiver. That has sparked plenty of debate about the best way to?cover the NFLs elite?pass-catchers, as Antonio Brown and Dez Bryant both?made big plays when Norman didnt shadow their every move.I want to be clear: Shadowing an opponents top wide receiver isnt always the answer to building a smart defensive game plan. With Norman and the Redskins changing their philosophy versus?Odell Beckham Jr. this weekend, lets first look at what not to do when defending a teams No. 1 receiver, before digging into three coverages that defenses should use more.Avoid static single-high looksLets start with Week 1 Monday Night Football, when?Brown?went off for 126 yards and two touchdowns versus the Redskins. With Norman lined up as the left CB on 81 percent of snaps, Brown went to work on Bashaud?Breeland,?beating the young defensive back over the top (twice).But where was the help? Where was the game plan to limit the explosive ability of the best wide receiver in the game? Think about it: Matching up to AB in a one-on-one situation is a tough job for anyone in the league -- especially when there is no immediate help over the top versus the deep ball. And if your top cornerback isnt going to check Brown, you need to adjust your scheme to take?the Steelers No. 1 receiver out of the game.When Ben Roethlisberger walks to the line of scrimmage, he sees?straight man coverage or Cover 1. No real disguise. Just line up and play. This is preseason stuff from the defense. And it automatically puts Breeland in a tough spot while giving Roethlisberger the exact look he wants to attack. With free safety DeAngelo Hall aligned as the deep middle defender, Roethlisberger knows he has Brown in a true one-on-one matchup to throw the fade.When I was watching the tape, you know the first thing that jumped out to me? Roethlisbergers eyes at the snap. He didnt open his shoulders to the opposite side of the formation or hold the free safety over the top. Instead, he took the snap and immediately stared?Brown down. Why? Because of the defensive look from the Redskins. Roethlisberger knew that Hall couldnt make it over the top due to his pre-snap alignment. No chance.With one-on-one all the way, Big Ben delivers a perfect throw -- ball on the outside shoulder, away from Breelands leverage. Now, one could say that Breeland has to jam, or has to reroute Brown and then stack on top of the fade. I get it. Thats coachspeak in the defensive back meeting room. But its not that easy. Brown is electric off the release and his acceleration is legit.This is nothing more than?poor game planning from the Redskins. Its one thing to take Norman -- who doesnt usually travel with receivers -- and align him on the left side of the defense. That caters to his skill set more in Washingtons zone schemes. But when you essentially leave Breeland on an island, with no true help to impact the deep ball, you are asking for trouble.So how would I game plan a receiver like Brown, Beckham, Julio Jones, DeAndre Hopkins or A.J. Green? Put the?No. 1 cornerback on the oppositions No. 2 wide receiver and use the?scheme to take away the top wide receiver. No different than what the?New England Patriots used to do with Darrelle Revis.Here are three ways to get that done -- drawn up for you to see. Discount Shoes For Sale . -- Washington Redskins tight end Fred Davis was charged Thursday with driving while intoxicated, a day after he was suspended for an NFL substance-abuse policy violation.

As the crowd erupted, Davis knocked the ball off the glass and back into his hands. With 1:14 to go in overtime, Davis sixth block also became his 17th rebound. That, along with his 32 points -- which tied a career high -- proved too much for Denver to overcome, and the Pelicans held on for their third straight victory, 111-107 on Sunday night. ANDERSON, Ind. -- Rob Chudzinski is keeping the Indianapolis Colts new-look offense top secret.Andrew Luck is helping out.As the final week of training camp began at Anderson University on Tuesday, both are revealing little about what to expect. The cancellation of Sundays preseason opener against Green Bay delayed the fans first chance to see how things might go on game day.Chud certainly has a playbook with different combinations that can beat every type of defense, Luck said, referring to his third offensive coordinator in five seasons. The offense is designed to attack and beat every style and type of defense.This much is clear: Things will be different in 2016.Indy drafted four offensive linemen in hopes of keeping their star quarterback healthy and off the ground. New quarterbacks coach Brian Schottenheimer is working on Lucks footwork and trying to get him to make throws quicker.Fans appreciate seeing Lucks baseball slide. Chudzinski, a former tight end who took over as interim offensive coordinator in November following Pep Hamiltons firing, is believed to favor the intermediate passing game and power running.Nobody knows for sure, of course, and the Colts are unlikely to provide few hints before the Sept. 11 season opener against Detroit.Right now were installing, so every single day is a little bit different and were doing different things on every single day, Chudzinski said last week. Once we get through the bulk of our installs, well start pulling it together and really refining.In some cases, the changes will be less noticeable to the general public.In addition to promoting Chudzinski and adding Schottenheimer, the Colts brought in former Dolphins head coach Joe Philbin to fix the offensive line, Jemal Singleton to coach running backs and Lee Hull to work with receivers. Philbin has a hands-on approach, something the linemen have embraced.Chudzinski also plans to take advantage of a new NFL rule that allows coordinators to directly radio plays from the coaches box to the quarterback. Last season, he relayed the calls to qquarterbacks coach Clyde Christensen, who sent them into Luck.ddddddddddddThats where Ive called games from for a variety of reasons, Chudzinski said. Being on the sideline, there is an advantage in terms of if you cant hear something or if it cuts out, which happens. Things cut out at times and thats a pretty regular type (of) occurrence, and youre close enough to where sometimes you can even yell it out from the sidelines. We have to work through those.Chudzinski intends to use the preseason games to iron out the kinks, and there are a few other obstacles.Rookie center Ryan Kelly, Indys first-round draft pick, injured his left shoulder during Indys second practice in full pads. Kelly missed more than a week before returning Tuesday afternoon. Right tackle Joe Reitz is listed as day to day with a groin injury, and Hugh Thorntons chance to compete for the starting right guard job has been derailed by a nagging ankle injury.Sundays surprise cancellation added another wrinkle for the Colts, who will now play their first preseason game Aug. 13 at Buffalo.We were going to basically treat games one and two as one. We missed out on those snaps in Week 1, Pagano said. So well adjust and go back and look at it and see how this week goes.Game notes Pagano said Tuesday that starting defensive end Kendall Langford will miss three to four weeks after having arthroscopic surgery on an injured knee. He hurt the knee in practice last week and was sent for an MRI, which revealed a chondral defect. Pagano did not say which knee Langford hurt. ... Pagano also said defensive lineman Henry Anderson (ACL) and safety Clayton Geathers (foot) are recovering well. Cornerback Tevin Mitchell (hamstring) and receiver Marcus Leak (quadriceps) are all considered day to day. Pagano plans to be cautious with punter Pat McAfee, who hurt his knee in practice last week, too.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
