Rotating as Lead in 2 Man?

If there are no competitive matchups on the weakside I have no problem rotating over if that post matchup is very competitive. Flatten out to keep the weakside in your peripheral.

I can agree with that.

In most cases, I return to my side once the ball settles inbounds. Once in a while, if the players still remain opposite my PCA, I will stay near the lane line. I always go back, so my partner knows that he doesn't have to be concerned about transitions like BillyMac's embarrassing moment.

We usually take the OOB play on the strong side and rotate over when it makes sense.

Always?
