Law didn't have to "bait" Green. By sticking to his assignment, he was in position to intercept that pass already.
It was a horrible play design for that spot on the field. We ran two WRs to the same sideline, one at the front of the endzone and the other at the back. Since we were already on the 5, it made it so the DBs only had 15 yards worth of field to cover. By Law sticking with his man on the shorter pattern, he was automatically in position to pick off Green's throw. A lob would have given the deep DB a chance to pick it. I just don't see how that pattern could possibly be effective. Any pro CB on the short route would have had a decent shot at that pass. Dumb.
We should have been running the damn ball anyway.
