Here's some examples:

I'm usually a great corner, and the few times I've seen this happen, it's led to a TD (1st replay) or been a TD (2nd replay).
It's really hurting our team.
I don't really want to give away my build, so I'm just wondering...does it look like a lack of a certain attribute?
This is caused by the QB pump-faking. This causes the cb to stall before the pass if the QB has high enough pump fake or if the CB does not have enough vision.
If that was Pump Fake - why don't all CBs fall for it? Or at least the defenders with similar vision? Looks more like head fake to me (WR is faking - only that one CB affected).
The second play looks more like the CB goes for the INT and misses.
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?pbp_id=81010481. (Why'd I cover the wrong receiver?) -- Looks like the WR made the cut and you couldn't (lack of agility), so you started covering the other WR because he was closest (lack of vision).
I'd say, you did switch to double coverage on the other WR and the FS was supposed to take over (looks like zone to me). But as you approached the WR, you kind of slipped or had to step out of the way. Could be great faking too, but I doubt that, for your guy doesn't even try to follow that original WR afterwards.
2. (Again...wtf) -- Same as above.
3. (Again, I just stop for no reason) -- Lack of vision? You (and your buddy) broke the wrong direction completely.
I'd say, just like above you are switching to double coverage, but the WR just turns to his inside route. Actually, the 2 CBs don't stop, but see the ball and change direction again (but before you notice, the play is over).
4. (The runaway corner bug strikes again?) -- Looks like you just swung wide to box the WR in because your LB came over to help.
That's sweet! Thats Runaway Corner, but on strongside! It's a zone defense for sure, but again played in the worst possible way. Noone is playing anyone but everyone is running to his supposed spot like hell.
GLB just doesn't get the idea of zone. Zone defense is NOT defending a spot!
5. (Great play, GLB. Glad to see I'm being put to use guarding the sideline over there 10 yds from any offensive players) -- Again, you were playing containment with the ROLB, but you were containing the HB running towards the sideline (notice you and the HB run parallel tracks exactly, and when he turns downfield so do you).
I'd say, that's plain stupid. Staying 10 yards away from the HB and staying 5 yards away from the WR is nothing a defender might even think about when defending the endzone.
Do you play a lot of zone coverage?

Can we please discuss that over in the other thread? I'm really trying to get all these bad plays together, so finally someone might listen!
As they come up once in a while and all over the forum, usually someone shows up and just drops a "that is just a bad corner, get vision" (or agility or whatever). Usually, then everybody shuts up - for that one is a mod. But if we prove them wrong, finally we might attract other players to join in... and then these plays might be fixed sometimes.
