I'm just agreeing with root's statement that during those years, the DB's stared down the receiver and never looked for the ball.

Ya... that's exactly what some defensive systems ask their DBs to do.

Look at guys like Darrelle Revis who is the best corner in the NFL and 5/8 seasons he has had 3 or less INTs with 3 extra games. Corners on an island are measured on breaking up passes not INTs.

You'll likely see the INTs from safeties be insane. Think Junior Rosegreen with 6 as they will play zone over the top playing QB and ball not WR
