That's your opinion. More pass plays, means more chances for blown coverages. NFL players are not perfect super-humans compared to CFL players. Most CFL defensive backs played at big NCAA schools. To suggest that they are nowhere near the talent level of NFL players is a huge exaggeration. Brandon Browner is now playing for Seattle for example. The larger field must surely make it harder to cover too.

If it is a talent issue, wouldn't the incredibly talented NFL receivers break down coverages?
