Great to have you back and pushing out the content we can't get anywhere else!
It's a fun exercise to read that call and try to break it down before, I only got about half of it right...I missed the Gun alignment and had the RB at the other side of the formation.
To me, it instantly looks like a cover 1/cover 3 beater in terms of the high low on the FS. but it will toast cover 2 just as well, if the 8 route splits the safeties.
I think we'll see more of these plays this year as Wentz has the deep ball game and both Terry and Jahan have the chops to get separation deep.
2. The whole thing seems like a mess. Wonder why they don't have a more intuitive system of terminology.
3. If they are in gun, than your diagrams are off. Not criticizing, know you cut and pasted old stuff, from back before this shotgun crap from Landry had polluted the Redskins. But there's another aspect, which is that the back is almost certainly to one side, unlike how shown. Not clear to me, to which side, from your breakdown.

This is like diving into a buffet of football nerdery. Thank you so much.
