rofl you guys are grasping for straws. Look, I hate Denver as much as the next guy (well except the "fans" that are apparently expect us to lose to prove that Alex and the rest sucks), but the play shown is nowhere close to what would be considered an "illegal pick play." Please google the term or youtube or whatever to get a better idea of what it is. If the receivers completely truck/tackle or otherwise stop their route at the point of contact to blatantly block, it's an illegal pick play. What's shown is a perfectly legal rub route out of a bunch formation versus man coverage doing EXACTLY WHAT IT WAS DESIGNED TO DO.
