In the traditional style of play, the cover corner can be beat. A coach must use the right figure and base to do so.
If you want to stop the figures from grabbing one another, you will have to modify the game. In that, you will have to play under less traditional rules. There are two styles of play that can fix this “problem”. One of those styles is the divider board. Since neither coach can see where the other is lining up, the defense won’t be able to line up the corners directly in front of the receivers. That alone will get your receivers open more often. The other style of play is the MPFL style. In that style, you will be able to stop the board and make adjustments to your receivers and other personnel on the board. This style will get your receivers open as well.

Electric Coach, in the divider style, you can adjust on any players (wr/TE) that are angled once the divider comes up...you are allowed to reposition the CB, if you want, to the angle of the WR. If the offense lines up straight than you do not get this adjustment.
otherwise, you're right about the "right base and figure" for the WR position.
