How I approach it is, once I determine the receiver, I then measure to determine which passing stick to use. Then pivot the receiver, kind of using the stick as a guide, to help the reveiver hopefully get more open. But a speedy DB or Safety, or even LB, pivoted as well can ruin that plan.
In the end, it is your game and thus the rules are up to you and how you want the game to go. Have Fun!
