From NFL.com - thought this was a cool read...they asked a bunch of corners to talk about how they approached coverage, here's what McGee said:
"Basically, I like to watch how the receiver reacts to the defender. If he's up in press, how does he react to it? If he's in off-man, what type of stuff does he do? I look at how he comes out of his break. I watch how other defenders defend that receiver.
"You really want to read a quarterback's steps once the ball's snapped. You read your keys -- look at the quarterback. See if it's a quick pass. If it's not, then you get back into your pedal and read the receiver and what type of break he's about to make. But these days you can get double-moved real quick, so you have to read their hips also."
