This strategy is kinda eh, the issue is if the shooter cuts back across your up knee your done. Also, a short pull can get you smoked by your up leg which has no ability to react. Additionally a one knee drop screws up your backwards momentum. If you happen to drop early and you have decent flow and the shooters still close to you you can push either way and have a shot at a save. Finally, a one knee drop creates all sort of unpredictable rebound possibilities and puts you in no position to respond to the rebound. When playing against high level shooters the only way to really handle a breakaway is to come out, get low, take away everything but 5 hole and be ready to close up.
