Film breakdown of Larry Fitzgerald v. Green Bay

[jamos14]

Pretty good film study of Fitzgerald's game against GB.  

His two biggest plays were a Go route, lined up wide right in the 3rd quarter against man coverage and no safety help. Good coverage but a great throw by Palmer.

 2nd big play was obviously the play in OT.   Whether it was zone or man, the defense had a huge breakdown to allow him to be wide open 25 yards down the field.  Poor pursuit angles led to the additional 60 YAC.    

My biggest takeaway is the route pattern.  9/13 routes are less than 15 yards when the ball is thrown.  In my mind, short & intermediate routes allow for help from our LBs (who are both excellent in coverage).
