It was a bad play call and Sayin needs to have better awareness in that situation.
Not really he was clearly coached to curl and seal as he curled the guy shot it. The Miami player gambled hard and won. But if he missed that int he would have put his team in a bad position cause they would have been down a man.
You're not taught only one way. There's what you *want* vs what you *get* You're right about the curl and seal. Makes it easier to create the "alley"
If the DB expands laterally, you won't keep expanding with him just to get around and seal inside. If he's even leverage, or outside leverage, you attack the outside shoulder, shock balance and win with wingspan. Then work to seal inside. If you can't, you attack center mass to outside shoulder and work to drive vertically. You cannot give the inside up like that because of what we saw last night. TE pushing out on an escort motion is usually a gigantic tell, so it isn't as insane a gamble as you'd think.
The modern defense rallies top-down.
You have to be decisive because it's a longer developing type of screen when executing the fake. You get hands on, get physical, and work to dictate where the defender is going. You don't let him pick a lane and shoot inside when he isn't the conflict player.
Coaches targeted the overhang player and outleveraged him because he sat with eyes inside looking at GT read. They had what they wanted, players just didn't execute.
