I'm watching these highlights right now. Here's what I see as I go.

1. When O.J. Howard caught that pass down the seam Saints were in man to man. It looks like Cover 1. Marcus Williams wasn't the single-high safety, Von Bell was. Williams plays kind of the intermediate-middle role, and he went to try and undercut a pass. Davis already had it under control underneath though. Williams should have went high since Davis had low. If he did it would have been a pick. At the least an incomplete pass. Davis did well all things considered. Matched up on Howard 1 on 1 is no easy task for anybody, let alone a LB.

2. Saints were in man to man when Goodwin caught the TD on the back-shoulder fade. Perfect pass. Crawley just loss that match up. He was in great position. He just got outmuscled by the bigger guy.

3. The long TD to Mike Evans was either Cover 3 or Cover 1. Either way Lattimore was 1 on 1 with Evans and just flat out loss the match up like Crawley did earlier. Williams is always chasing from behind though. He's never coming over the top like he should be.

4. The 2nd TD to Jackson looks like Cover 3 again. Jackson goes up the seam and scores. Nobody over the top like there should be. Make's Crawley look pretty bad, but I'm not sure if it's really his fault. It's hard to tell from the sideline view. This might be a Williams thing again. Our safeties are trying to do too much.

That's every passing TD and bigger passing play they had. Cover 3. Cover 1. That's Seattle's defense. That's the Vikings defense. It's not working out well for us at the moment.
