^^ film of that broken coverage long TD for the Falcons.

Same problem we saw last week. Single high safety pre snap. Outside corners drop back into a zone or quaters zone D. Offense targets the lone high safety by having a curl route run in front of him forcing him to make a decision - to pinch down or stay high .. he pinches down leaving the fly guy from the otehr side of the field wide open bc the corner released him thinking he had deep coverage.

Really common NFL play call. target a defender then force him to have to make a decision, QB only has to read that 1 defender and throw ball to guy he decided not to cover.

Really curious on who screwed up here or if it was just a good play call against that particular D call with good execution.

McCain said that he screwed up on this play
