Which doesn't really help the underlying problem IMHO...
It should, IMO, be a vision check for the optimal place for the CB to catch the ball, not the first place he can.
On the flipside, however, if he went for the 100% optimal place to catch the ball every time, we'd see waaaaaaaaaaaaay too many PDs and INTs.
I suggested that instead of a CB going for the first intercept every time or going for the best intercept point every time, that it should fluctuate somewhere in between based on a vision, jumping, catching, and a little randomness.
Sweet picture r8! Our dots are gaining dimensions! 1 dimension to 2!
Here's my input for whatever it is worth. It looks as if the green line is the CB saying...Hey I can jump this high , and my max height line will intercept the trajectory at Pt X, so I want to get there. But in reality, he could intercept the ball at any point in between Pt X and the WR.
My worry is messing with trajectory arcs is going to have tons of unintended consequences.
