Thought so too, Rez. Never got the bitterness from some early. You played the secondary. So much individual success is based upon the gel.

Most people don’t know how to assess the responsibilities of a DB, especially if they don’t understand coverages.

No crap. I can't tell you how many times I've read someone blasting a safety busting his ass to try to make a play that wasn't anywhere near his responsibility only to get blasted by some confused fan that didn't understand it wasn't within his coverage.

Coverages IMHO is tough to understand. I played and coached football for almost 20 years and I still think a lot of the coverage concepts are hard to really understand.

They really are. Of course you play nothing but man to man growing up, but when I got to high school we had a college coach as a defensive coordinator and learning the responsibilities of the coverage he wanted us to play was a tough transition for me. You had deep thirds but different route combinations called for you to cover different things and it just took a lot of getting used to.
