Well they do react to the arm. Sometimes they get faked out and stuff. But your S.S.'s vision was good enough to not be faked and see where the throw was going before the Q.B. threw it. It really was a good read.
Yes, I agree- it was a lucky roll where I read the play. I was simply pointing out how ridiculous his explanation sounded :-XDid you properly read and understand what I wrote?
I did not say that your INT had nothing to do vision, what I said was that we have no way of being 100% sure that you made that play because of vision. Vision and Superior Vision give you a flat bonus they're not like some chance SAs, so if they were the sole reason for your SS making that play, would he not do it more often?
Only your SS and the FS immediately reacted to the play, I'd imagine that the CBs on your team also have high vision yet they didn't react to the pass.... Perhaps the main reason your SS and the FS reacted was more to do with the fact that they were in zone coverage whereas everyone else was in man coverage.
Bort has stated that defenders get their swat/INT roll before WRs get their catch roll. So the fact the pass was going to your zone could've allowed your SS to react to it, his speed, agility and possibly vision got him in the right position and then your agility, jumping, Sticky Hands, etc. allowed you to make the INT.
I'm not saying my theory is definitely correct, but you can't specifically say that the reason you made that INT was due to vision.
Take this CB for example:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=26673He had 9 INTs in USA Pro last season but I can't say that the only reason he got those INTs is because he had soft capped catching, or that it was just because he has 11 Superior Vision. There are so many underlying possible factors.
