The QB "Hot Reads" to the RB for -1 yards. Meanwhile, watch the receiver running completely uncovered...

I always thought the hot read goes to the deepest receiver where the blitz is coming from.

Dean the rb is assigned to pass block was some how the target......it looks as he picked up the mlb blitz , but ignored the CB Dampier , who was lined up at DE coming off the edge .

Either way I think it's a glitch in the logic as the QB should have looked at the outside blitz and hot read that way to the TE3 which was the largest gain available , and was an expliot for the offense under the old code.

It does however look as though the qb was throwing to the dragging TE, ( something I routinely see in this match up), but the pass gets batted by the dline and Dean comes up with it.

It doesn't matter as the TE lined up over ( the CB playing DE) should have blocked him for a second or two to allow for timing to develop , but clearly a position overide was put in to place to exploit a weakness in the code that fails to match nfl standards .

As the CB had no business playing that position in the first place . ....with no size, strength or pass rush abilities , besides speed was the perfect recipe for success in generating pressure on the qb.

Dampier was lined up at OLB if you want to be accurate. He was lined up there in goal line formation due to the getting burned by goal line passes last time we played where the lb was getting beat over and over. So if a team wants to call goalline against me in the middle of the field i don't feel it's a bad idea to have a cover guy in to cover the tightend.

I do that for every formation . ...just to get the guys lined up the way I want.(because defensive alignment is one of the games major flaws ) It is still too bad the TE ignored a general nfl response to a head up blitzer. (Don't let him get a straight path too too he qB)

Either way I still see it as a glitch and with much imagination a plausible / adaptable nfl tactic that works to expose our codes weak points . Hence exploit was the word I used cause generally one would not think to use that tactic but an experienced mfn gm might try cause it works .

One you expained it was to work against coverage when in reality it worked here in this blitz cause blitzes only need speed to be effective in our code.

ya i in the playoffs i was burned repeatedly by a a goal line pass that a great tightend would be blanketed by my lb and still catch it. On mfn owners are trying to find plays to take advantage of mismatches so it's a chess game. In this instance if you call a goal line play in the middle of the field i don't think it's that big of a deal to see your qb running for his life if you only have a few tightends and a rb to throw to. Back to the original post, the hot reads are a in need of fine tuning. there should be more slants and swings rather than the rb going straight through the line to catch a ball and race for a td.
