Play is from 9:45 to 10:10 mark in the above video.
Scenario: 2nd and 14 after a stuffed run put the offense behind the chains. Enos comes out in what looks to be shotgun, 12 personnel,(2 TE, 1RB) with Michael Irv 2 flexed out in the Y and the other TE(unsure) lined up inline.
Route combinations: TE: Seams
WRX: comeback
WRZ: slant/drag
RB: Flare route/ flats
Defense Typical assignments MLB: Hook-Curl, zone
WLB: Curl-Flat, zone
SLB: Hook-Curl, zone
SS: Curl-Flat, zone
CB1: Deep 3rd-zone
CB2: Deep 3rd-zone
FS: Deep 3rd-zone(middle)
The defense is in what looks to be a base 4-3 zone defense with double high safety(weird). Linebackers 4 yards off LOS, corners 5 yards off LOS, and safeties(out of screen) at least 9 yards off LOS.
At the 1st scan of the LOS Perry recognizes that Michael Irv is uncovered(immediately) and eyes the Will linebacker positioning that could possibly be a threat to him completing this throw to an uncovered Irvin. Technically that Will is supposed to have curl to flats(wrX) but he tries to cheat when he sees Irvin cross his face.
Technically the Strong safety is supposed to have curl to flats on the opposite side which would Null the Deejay play in this defense.
Two seams coming at a free safety and the QB can pick his poison based upon the safety reaction.
Based upon the defense and alignment Nkosi made the correct read. We know this because of the defense called as well as Enos saying he wants his QBs to look at alignments and pre-snap positioning as well as going through necessary progressions, basically if a mans uncovered throw it to the open fuqin guy!
Perry climbs the pocket to bide time for Irvin to get past the sticks and delivers a strike in between two defenders that were in no position to contest the throw and would not have been there if not for blowing assignments.
In my humble opinion, the entire play shows the impact Enos is having on Perry and his growth within the system.
He never did any of those things in 1 snap last season.
This is just what I see in the play. I don't claim to be an expert. I also don't think football is rocket science.
