On the long one he lined up against Brown. They may have thought the blitz would get there first, or that the safety would help, but he was left to cover Brown by himself. So how is that "not expected to cover Brown"? He ran 40 yards by himself chasing Brown. It was amazing he made there in time to tackle him.
