Theme: Blown coverages.
This play is yet another blown coverage, this time by Cody Barton. Barton is supposed to be in a hook zone on the defenses left, meaning he is tasked with defending the middle left quarter of the field in the short to intermediate passing game. Instead, Barton loses eye discipline off of the snap by stepping up way too much with the play action. Then he almost seems to panic as once Purdy looks to the defense’s right, he gets into a full sprint and runs to that side of the field.
Uchenna Nwosu also deserves part of the blame here as he appears to be tasked with covering the flat, but he instead gets behind the line of scrimmage forcing himself to run at Kyle Juszczyk with his back to the line of scrimmage. Another thing of note is just how open 4 of the 5 pass catchers were on this play. Tariq Woolen got his press wrong at the top of the screen resulting in him slipping and Aiyuk being wide open.
