3🔍 Why it matters — what to watch for
No tackle, zero foul risk, and you win it already facing forward — the tastiest way to win the ball. Players with many interceptions are anticipation machines. Much the same as “cutting out” a pass.
On the call you'll hear“He read it! Interception straight into a counter!”
