Actually I don't agree with his breakdown of #1 at all. Pre-snap read doesn't scream Tampa 2 or Cover 2 nor does it look more like quarters/cover 4. QB has to see what the safeties do at the start of the snap to see the difference in coverage with that alignment. At the snap the action from the safeties would have told him everything he needed to know about the coverage. Cover 4 Safeties are flat footed playing more downhill. Both safties open up wide and MLB turn his hips towards the strong side of the formation. Instant cover 2 action right at the snap. The route combination looks like it was designed to attack a Cover 4 but that was Gus/Lash's call not JJ's. There was very little done to disguise the cover 2 Louisville ran that play. I don't know what JJ was looking at but he obviously didn't read any of his keys.

which explains why the WR ran a post route instead of breaking off a curl in the open zone underneath the corner.
