either you invest in coverage or PD.
The problem isn't the skills the secondary invests in. It's the way the secondary is coded to cover. Do you ever... ever... really,even one time, ever see a CB just run a couple yards ahead of a WR on any route? NO, that is just retarded. The CB adjusts his speed to the WR. He knows he has help over the top so he covers the inside and underneath. If he doesn't have help over the top then he is in stride with the WR and uses his position to not allow the WR to get past. Sometimes it doesn't work out for the CB and the WR burns the CB. Unless it is a really good throw and the WR catches it in stride the CB can still recover in the time it takes the WR to adjust t the ball. But in this game the CBs and safeties put themselves in position to lose every single pass.
Honestly, even on offense, the best throws are when the QB is 'hurried'. LOL! Those are actually on time passses! The fact that the vast majority of throws are like 3+ secs after the snap is sad (unless heavily pressured). Never in GLB2 have you seen the QB throw a pass when the receiver is covered, but /will/ be open the time the pass gets there. Much more often you see the QB throw to a receiver that is open if the pass arrived immediately, but by the time the ball arrives the receiver is covered well.
Secondary skills don't matter really, we even have guys with no man coverage at all, literally not one point, in man coverage doing the same things as guys heavily investing in man awareness and cov tech. It's a sad excuse for football.
