Its pretty much a feel thing while looking at the recievers body language and as soon as they put their hands up for the ball, you are supposed to try and swat it away , grab an arm whatever to knock it loose, throw your hands out at the recievers.
Some are just not good at this like some WRs arent good at fighting for the ball.
DBs are taught this from High School.
I think its best to turn your head if you can and are in possition to do so and particularly if you suck at the above.
Its maybe his prefered technique and Staley will have to break him of doing it so much. took Jammer a while to break it.
Staley isnt just now teaching these guys this technique, and you will be amazed how a guy got this far by not being good at this but this isnt college anymore. its much tougher in the NFL and the good WRs can bate a DB.
IF they dont learn to turn their head and get in better pissition they wont last long. Not turning your head now will also now get you a PI as well as getting burned.
