We can clearly see how far back that safety is, and he isn't close enough to defend that pass.

yes he was. he was close enough to come close to the pick, and he wouldn't have just stood there, he would have come forward....or if he played his position correctly he would have come forward.

After the catch, It would have been a 1 on 1 inside the 10. Who you gonna bet on there?

Not one on one, it would have been two on one. theguy that was initially covering Nauta would have stuck with him, too, because there was nobody else in the backfield.
You seem to want to believe things but your assumptions are incorrect, if they play their positions correctly and as they should. There are no guarantees that they would have, but I can assure you Nauta was not going to come open. nauta was tightly covered when the ball was thrown, and he should have been covered all the way through his route.....UNLESS the safety dropped Nauta and went to Michel to give over the top help. But the fact that he had a shot at a pick tells me he was aware of what was happening and stayed where he was supposed to be.

Again...I really get tired of arguing these type points, because in order for me to be correct I have to assume things that I don't have any way of knowing, and you do, too. What we can see on the playback is that Michel was wide open and the ball was thrown to Nauta.
