Say again, "Our secondary gave up some big completions". Receivers were usually past us & always in better balance. Good defenders need that "correct time" leaping ability but also to be in balance after all that running, shifting, turning, etc for the moment of action on the thrown ball.
I can't think of the old Mn. Viking receiver (he was honored last week) who usually stood there catching a TD pass with two defenders falling down beside him. He was the Best at Balance IMO. Good tapes to watch.
