You have to utilize context. I can utilize the eye test the best I can but I will not know what the call made is. So I use advanced statistics the best I can to fill in the gaps. It doesn't help that our defensive scheme with Austin was terrible and the players clearly didn't believe in it
In a zone concept the team can have the corner play more back to not give up the big play. He gives up an 8 yard gain that happens on a flat route because of it. That hurts his numbers and counts as a catch against him even though he played it correctly. Just have to trust in what you're seeing on both ends. All 3 corners haven't been great this year but I have more trust in Dennard and WJ3 playing much better
