Exactly, the receiver gives cues that the ball is in the air, if you’re in stride with the receiver and look back at the qb you might as well concede the pass because any nfl wr worth his paycheck is gonna exploit the shit out of that by simply taking a more diagonal approach to his route, that’s automatic separationAll defensive backs, but safeties especially since they should have a little more freedom to do this, should be yelling, "BALL!" when the ball is in the air. It gets noisy, though, so the corner needs to watch the eyes because when the eyes of the receiver go up, the ball is being tracked. Then you need to watch the hands and aim for the space in-between as the point to swat the ball out.
