[Back In The Saddle]

Thank you, Mark. In my games today I made a conscious effort to stay with the passer, at least briefly, and then pick up the pass.

I admit I was dubious when I first read your suggestion. I had visions of looking at the passer while the receiver gets creamed. But in practice there seemed to be sufficient time to pick up the pass before the receiver caught it.

Also, I would think that if I know the receiver is very closely guarded, in that case I'd want to turn much sooner to make sure I don't miss the receiver getting manhandled before the pass arrives. Would you agree or disagree with this?
