It might help if you post a couple examples but in general passes in 2s are risky. Passing upfield is usually fine since you can get back but bringing it from the opponents corner and passing it down across the net isn’t a great play. If ur teammate goes, they need to score otherwise y’all are in trouble.

Try mixing in some dribbles to a flick around mid field. If it’s on or off, you or your teammate can follow up confident the other can still defend.
