I am struggling with this in developing a philosophy, so if you think I am wrong help me out here.
That is one way to help you decide what should or should not happen. Certainly if a receiver is even with a defender, then that would be an easier call. The problem is receivers also run hooks and comeback routes and they would never come side by side to a defender. I have found that to be only a way to help with the call. That is not an absolute.
