This is how they originally line up. With Dwelly and Juice to one side. On the other side, the blue safety, I believe, is in Quarters. So his read right now is the #2 (Kittle).
Juice motions over. The blue safety sees it.
Juice is now the new #2 so Juice is now the blue safety's assignment (match #2 if vertical). Kittle is now the #3, and is red LB's assignment if #3 goes vertical.
Blue is watching Juice, not paying attention to Kittle because Kittle is #3 and is no longer blue's assignment. Red is too flat footed to defend a vertical from Kittle. Toast.
So, we're in agreement that it's cover 6? Also, while that route can seem wide open and Shanny called the shot, that's still really good ball placement by Jimmy.
Over the middle defender and doesn't lead Kittle into the boundary side safety, leads him just a little away from him. That's putting a ball right on the money 90 feet away. Daaaaaang.
