Whenever the ball is thrown I immediately switch to the nearest defender and either play ball or play receiver.

The players matching the scheme and man/zone ratings matter more then ever it seems. People assume every defensive back can cover man to man and zone no problem and that's just not the case. Older DBs being so slow doesn't help matters on quick moving receivers either.
