Then we'd be complaining how the safety hadn't moved up to cover the shorter route....

You play to much Madden... LOL! There was a man to cover the inside WR. It was man to man with a saftey to add double coverage on the deepest route. Everyone was covered but the Saftey instead of dropping back went forward to help the DB on the shorter route. Which was weak coverage is why he probably bit on it seeing it happen in front of him he just reacted instead of being disiplined staying home and taking his responsibility on he bit on a drag route which would have been picked up by a LB.
