This is correct. A wide receiver with abilities similar to a DB will beat that DB like a redheaded stepchild. That's why defenses rely on coverages - even in man situations - that give the DB an advantage. For example, they will go man on the outside and have a safety take away the post and the fly. Or they'll go man in the slot and have a LB take away the inside cross. And when they truly go man to man with zero help they do it as a surprise tactic to catch the offense running a zone route, or else they do it when they have a superior DB matched against an inferior WR.
