It occurs to me that I almost never see wr fumble..i am sure most of them have terrible carrying and usually not alot of strength. Is there some bonus to them not fumbling or is it possible to get them too with a power ff corner type build?

Mr. Reliable.

And they don't get hit quite often like PB's do post KL roll.

Not only not hit by the same type of players, but you're much more likely to run up against a dot with "force fumble" as a HB than as a WR.

so pretty much what Homage said.

plus if u were gonna fumble it you probably do so before bringing in the catch (aka knocked loose)

Both were on short passes.

Should be. Does knock loose count as a pass defense as well?

snakes point was that those that are going to be fumble prone (low carrying) have a high risk of the ball being knocked loose. They likely lose the ball before making the catch (providing no opportunity for a fumble) if they are getting hit by a hard hitting defender.

And yes knocked loose will count as a deflection.

Yes, for the dot who makes the deflection. It's possible to have one defender knock it loose, and other to deflect it (but I assume it's very rare).
