Fixed that for ya.

Well, I've seen PLENTY!!! A 330lb DT that had for some reason dropped back into coverage leaped up at the apex of the pass(albeit the arc IS too low but still) the bottom of his feet were over three feet off the ground. They were at the bottom of the numbers of a TE on a crossing route!

Wish I could have saved this play but in my mind, it just wasn't THAT unusual! It happens 3-5 times a game.

This I 100% agree with!!! I wish EA would just come out and say, "the swat defense is part of the difficulty we built into the passing game." I think, without that swatting though, I'd probably complete every pass. They need to figure that crap out tho!
