One of the questions that came up in discussion:
Is this a CB that is really well built for getting picks? In my mind, that would mean a CB with 70+ jumping, 65+ catching, decent amount of sticky hands and Int % for instance? Or is he a more standard 4-50 catching guys with tons of movement and vision abilities who is trying to pick off balls but simply isn't very good at it?
One of the observations has been that it is not necessarily fair to judge the results of a player trying to do something that he is not really built to do well, and the danger of making any changes on that basis...as a CB who is really built for oicks might then become over-whelming.
I don't know if you want to reveal your build, but from the remarks I have seen and the builds you have revealed in the past, it seems as though your CBs are usually optimized for coverage and deflections rather than picks. Am I way off track here?
Gah. I didn't even notice it's private. He has 53 catching, 74 jumping, 90 vision, 10 SV, and 6 Sticky Hands, so not built to be an INT machine, but should be good enough to at least do something to the ball when he jumps the route as perfectly as it appears he did in that play. I'm working on finding another example to use since you can't see that one.
I do agree that if a CB isn't built to be able to get INTs then they shouldn't have any complaints, but this has been a problem for the past four seasons or so regardless of build. It just doesn't make any sense that a CB would be so good as to jump a route but then jump to the wrong spot or completely miss on his try at the ball (an attempt that is done without having to fight the WR). Instead, it should be much harder for the CB to read the pass well enough to jump the route, but when he does he should have a much higher chance of hitting either an INT or PD roll.
