yes, im afraid teams will start doing a lot better job of disguising coverages. teams adjusted to the run and have done better at containing that. cousins showed he can make good decisions and take what defenses give him last week.

so this week, why not disguise your D so cousins thinks you are giving him something here or there .. only to trap him to have a guy he didnt read pre-snap step into that space and pick it off/defend it.

i assume when you say "trap coverages", that means having DE guys suddenly dropping back in short zone, OLB suddenly defending the flats while the corner drops back to deep coverage, etc?

i dont trust Jay to be a step ahead of opposing coaches ... not yet.
