Thus the CBs have more ground to cover in a return, more guys between them and the endzone and they have probably already run 20 yards in the opposite direction and may be moving that way when they catch the ball.

Theory is sound but unfortunately madden not that smart. I picked a guy with cover 2 flat zone looking at daylight only to see a olineman run from across the field and catch me. It looked terrible..olineman was running warp speed.
