Nickel Back Mentoring Dime Back

You know you’ve made it when you show up here…

NASHVILLE, TN—Titans nickel back Vincent Fuller announced Tuesday that he was taking dime back Eric King under his nickel-backing wing in an effort to help the fourth-year player develop the coverage skills necessary to play in long passing situations—and in the hope that King would himself mature into a nickel back someday. “

Showing Eric the third-down-and-more-than-10-to-go ropes is personally fulfilling, and I think he’s starting to feel like he’s really a part of the secondary,” said Fuller, adding that he was happy to be the kind of trusted situational defense counselor King could look up to. “Mostly I try to share my experiences on the field and emphasize that, even though dime back is only a part-time defensive position, he needs to make the most of his three to five opportunities each game. We’ve talked a lot about him breaking out of his soft-cover backpedal, working on his tackling, and, uh, the backpedal thing some more.” Fuller meets with King three times a week to work with the dime back to eliminate penalties, quiz him about defending routes, and make sure things are going good at home.
