I agree with you. There is a lot going on, especially for two man crew.
Don't put a Jack Tatum on them, but get some contact to draw Blue's attention.
Bottom line. Just have your runners do what they are supposed to do. If they are supposed to catch corners, have them do so, if the defender is in the way, well............
