Coaches' Tape Review: Maclin 53-yard TD

[cardpa]

Nice job K9. Now my question is what in the heck is Foote doing. In the 4th and 5th photos he is in the middle of the field without an Eagle anywhere near him and it appears he is covering the air in the center of the field because he sure isn't helping in coverage of anything else. In the 5th photo there isn't a player from either team within 15 yds of him.

If he's spying Foles then why does he drop 5 yds straight back?

i think its just his zone responsibility

if you look at the fourth picture:

if Maclin had run a deep in, Foote is there in the passing lane

further -- if either of the receivers on the top had run routes all the way across, he would have picked them up

it also really makes me beleive that Rashad messed up by squatting on a Maclin in route -- that route had Powers outside with Foote underneath --
