Good video, and good analysis. You can see on the first clip, when they protected with 9, we rushed 4, leaving 7 to cover 2. KJ got away with a PI on that one as that play was called incomplete.
The second one, they kept eight to protect again... so anyone saying the Texans didn't get pressure on Romo just didn't watch the game. They wouldn't have gone max protect, if we weren't pressuring their QB. That time, the coverage was fairly good, McCain step for step with Bryant. It was just a perfectly thrown ball.
The third one, the first RW TD.... again they use 8 to block 4, Barber is ho-humming around the right side, and both LBs run to that side, incase it is a screen. Because of this, Wilson has to move up to cover the slot receiver from getting the middle.
I don't know what the call was, or the scheme on that play. Maybe everyone was doing what they were supposed to. maybe GK & FBush trust McCain going 1-on-1 with a guy twice his size. But you'd think keeping the safety over the top would have been the prudent thing to do. Dropping the MLB to the middle of the field.... but that didn't happen.
But it makes me wonder when a player (Bernard Pollard) says something like this:
