I know CS is supposed to help you catch up to the ball carrier when you're behind them...
But does it activate when the ball carrier is in FRONT of you? Examples; You're covering the Deep Weak Zone as a safety but the run is to the Strong side... now you're quite a ways away from the ball carrier (opposite side of field and in deep coverage) so does it activate then? Even though the ball carrier is actually in front of you?
2nd example; Kickoffs. If you have CS and you're on the Kickoff team, when the returner gets the ball you are likely to be far away from them as you run down the field. #1, would CS fire then? #2, does it even work on ST's?
