But if he had made that interception or defended that pass, we would all be praising his name. I gotta give it to him on being aggressive and trying to make something happen...

With his track-record of making explosive plays... I would've liked him to play that thing safe instead of trying to make a huge play, because lets face it, the odds were stacked against him making a huge play.

I'm not against players making risky plays, but as a corner, you have to be aware of whether or not you have safety help or not, because that should determine how risky the play will actually be and whether one should try to make it.

I agree with your overall point but can someone take in all that information and make that decision in the split second that a pass is thrown, I don't believe so.

you play on your instincts not by thinking too much

Sure, but as far as I know, the player should be aware of the coverage scheme before the ball is snapped, so he should know whether or not he will have safety help over the top. Of course, knowing that a safety is supposed to be there to help doesn't mean that he in fact will be there, but it doesn't change the overall point nor did that appear to be the case with the play in question.
