Go watch the play. You're making excuse for him completely abandoning his gap then going oh shit, trying to get back, and whiffing. Checking the bootleg doesn't involve being that far out of position. It's not just the one play either. He sells out for the pass rush, doesn't maintain his gap, and we end up getting gashed.
