Your guy managed to block the DE, then realized that the HB went for the NT (bad vision check by the HB? center and LG didn't do jack to engage that guy too at first). So the LOT realized the MLB is unblocked - and let the DE go to take care of the "more dangerous rusher". Just as the OT started to block the MLB, the HB checked again and decided to go for the MLB now. Accordingly the OT let the MLB go and tried for the DE again.
That was pretty good play by the OT - and worse by either HB, LG or C (hard to figure out: either one of the upfront lineman failed - causing the HB to take care - or the HB just failed his vision check).
(One thing leads to another at the line. That's why I always smile at guys talking about their strength-monster not allowing sacks. Sure... technically they don't... they just let their blocking assignment slip... causing another blocker to let his guy go in order to make up for the failure... and then the other blocker looks stupid.)
