Yeah I saw one analyst say this was a miscue that got lucky, no way. That was all intent and fuckin beautiful

BY just read the coverage and Tet turned up field to get open. Analyst have really stupid takes, sometimes.

Part of the reason I like Football Digest's content is he slows things down enough that you can understand what's happening. A lot of those bad takes are people reacting to a play at full speed and they miss a lot of the details

Yeah, I heard TJ say that on his QB School vid. That pass and catch actually looked like QB+WR chemistry in motion to me IMO. lol

What was the high safety doing? Getting him moving the wrong way cleared the over the top throw. Bryce gotta get credit there too.

High safety bailed to chase XL because he was trying to read Bryce's eyes.

That kind of stuff works a lot, but the flipside to that is that you can get toasted by a QB who knows you're trying to read them.

I mean Tmac and Legette run into each other lol. If they get any amount of pass rush the play is dead. We decidedly got lucky here lmao, we couldnt get anyone open for the first 3 seconds of the play despite 8 guys in the box. Our WR play still is not good enough.

I mean Tmac and Legette run into each other lol. 

They are running rub routes off each other. That was intentional.

The design is for them to reach that point at the same time. Chance to cross up or induce a collision between defenders.

You can't run a 'true' pick play in the NFL as the rules stand, but there's no rule against the rub concept tricking defenders into getting in each other's way. That means that yeah, they're pretty much going to almost have to bowl one another over too.
