Check out the blocking on that play. Just another example of the shit WR blocking.
I'm not sure that play is so much shit WR blocking as it is the WR picking the lesser of two evils. He chose to block the SS and the CB pounced on the play. If he had chosen to block the CB then the result very well could have been the same. The SS or MLB would have blown right past the TE to make the tackle because the TE would have picked one of them up for his assignment.
Not disagreeing completely, just saying it might not be that.
my thought on this play is the assignments on the pitch play its self. the TE would combo block the de then block second level on LOLB'er. the C would also combo then block second level to MLB'er. on a pitch play right the offense would not worry about backside players. in this ex. the C would never stay on that DT for the whole play, either him or the RG would go second level to MLBer. now depending on blocking scheme WR stays with CB, and FB takes SS possibly a chip on LOLBer on the way. or WR stalk blocks SS and that leaves a kick out for the FB on the CB.
