I think it's just a long read that everyone agrees with.

I wanted to learn to read but...the Derek Zoolander Center For Children Who Can't Read Good And Wanna Learn To Do Other Stuff Good Too turned out to be just a school for ants.

I always wondered how people would even fit in the building...

Don't know, you're going to have to draw a picture or something, because all of the typing you did in the OP just gets a big "uh...that's already how it works".

That's how it works? The replays I linked show defenders consistently running DEEPER than the receiver they're covering. They should be on their receivers' inside hip, running as close to them as they can while generally maintaining a position between the receiver and the ball (QB).
I don't doubt the defender reacts to the receiver, but the positioning is the biggest issue. I've also seen replays of my CBs pulling away from the receiver they're covering on fly routes. A defender should never outrun his receiver while in coverage.
ETA: A quick video of the basics
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Li31szTTAcw - Goes through some quick positioning. Notice almost all of them have the defender on the inside of the receiver, except for shallow crossing routes.
I do appreciate the response, though.
