Reply to "taking throws (from catcher) at the bag"

I have my IF's straddle the bag and fight to get the front half. Why?

1) I still reach in front of the runner. If the throw is off line, simply shuffle your feet and fight harder to catch it in front of the runner.

2) On the tag, they simple need to tag their back foot.

3) I have found MOST IF's catch the ball out in front of their body (as they are taught) and, by standing in front of the back, the tag is slow and a swipe tag.
