Glad you found a slightly better look here. Looks like the WR at the top was easily blanketed. The CB was ready for the route. I wouldn't ever recommend throwing that shit. As for Moeaki? It does look like Alex locked in forever on the WR at the top, but with the right side of the OL collapsing in? I doubt Alex even could have seen him.
Now if Alex had turned away and spotted Moeaki
as his first read as he ran to the 43? He could have gotten the ball through that mess before it collapsed and we would be talking about a nice quick completion to beat the rush. The risk is that Moeaki isn't yet looking for the pass.. since he isn't the first read.. so Lord only knows what could happen. Add to that, there was no passing lane to do so. The WR route had to be waited on by Alex, since the CB never backpedaled.
