Really? I hope this is an exaggeration. If not, you need to reconsider your philosophy. I understand moving back to get a better angle, but once you are past 6-8 feet you stop improving your angle and start putting yourself in a worse position.

I agree....15 feet out of bounds serves no purpose. That is just way too far from any play that needs to be covered. Even if you had the perfect angle on a play, your ability to move to maintain that angle is greatly limited since the distance you need to move to keep an angle is amplified by increase in distance.
