Another thing to take into account is repetition. Every player has tells, how their stance changes, how they move in and out of cuts or fake it. Seeing the same actions daily gets embedded in your thinking which allows the defender to anticipate the play with better odds. That's why film study is so important and in-game adjustments to counter that. The smartest player I ever saw at that was Rod Woodson, his mind was like a super computer. He wasn't as physically gifted as Chris Dishman but there's a reason why he was on the NFL 75th anniversary team
That is definitely a thing, but it can go both ways.
My son has a lefty shooting teammate that plays attack. His go to catch and shoot move is to go low to low to the bottom left corner. My son knows this, so he immediately goes down to cover that shot when his teammate gets a catch and shoot chance and he makes more than his fair share of saves because he knows what he is likely to do. It ticks his teammate off, too.
But, his teammate needs to learn to not rely on just one shot. If he started shooting high regularly and scoring, then Nate won't be able to cheat towards the low far corner.
It's why the best EDGE rushers have more than just move to beat a tackle. Or how the best CBs can play press and off. Or how the best WRs have a wide variety of releases off the line.
Gotta keep them guessing.
