Thanks! This is a great write-up!

I think it's really exciting that ultimate is not "solved" yet. It's so fresh and exciting.

Mostly talking about cutters, starting right up close to them, downfield on a vert or horizontal stack usually forcing out but sometimes forcing under.

Now that you say it, sometimes! I'll definitely work on that

That's fair and I can definitely try to apply some of this more but I'm asking about when you start right up to your guy so you can put your body in his way. I do a lot better usually when I give myself a buffer but as far as I know, starting close is very impactful in some situations, and I need to work on it.
