It could be deep quarters, but he didn't bail fast enough, he trailed . . .so if it wasn't deep 1/2 for both FS and SS then JJ showed "press" too long. He's got to not get burnt that badly, so I chose the alternative of a combo coverage with him taking that WR m/m but has deep help. But JJ also seemed to slow down for some reason, as if he were expecting deep help and then he and McC had the sideline "debate" shall we call it.That doesn't look like man to man from Jenkins. It's hard to tell but it looks like he's playing either quarters(deep right) or the curl zone. My guess would be quarters because he's bailing and playing outside leverage. My best guess is that this is Cover 6. Yea, I think it's Cover 6. That would put McLeod and Jenkins both in quarters with McLeod having the inside of the numbers to the seam with Janoris playing the outside of the numbers. Looks like Sanders splits them right on the borderline of where Janoris's zone ends and McLeod's begins. And McLeod, again, gets caught out of position because he's biting on the crossing route.

As I said, I could be wrong.
I will take your word for it, but he he had the deep 1/4 and McC had 1/4 from MOF to numbers, why did he and JJ argue and why did McC bite?Nah, he was where he should have been until Sanders cut inside. At that point, he's going to take trail position in case Sanders runs a post corner or a post out so he can settle underneath it with McLeod over the top and try to pick it like Johnson did later in the game.
I'm almost certain that's Cover 6.

Because Sanders split it down the middle. McLeod probably expected Jenkins would continue to run with him so he could sit on the dig while Jenkins was expecting McLeod to take him so he could sit on any double move that Sanders could possibly run. It wasn't really cut and dry whose man it was at that point.
I get that, but also, if it is cover 6, we are a man short underneath, we rushed with 5. so short middle and flat don't have anyone is zone. But I accept your explanation, but if it is Cov-6 then there are a couple of tweaks to it.
Yes, 100% agree, Manning did freeze but I also think he subtly looked of McC and McC bit, but then never saw ball after that.. and sometimes I miss if it's man or zone, like with Seattle, they play a lot of cov-3 but Bradford talked about how well they digused it and sai they play that "man outside or cover-3 whatever you want to call it"We blitzed. We were okay underneath because they had to keep an extra blocker in and chip with the HB. Which meant only three running routes initially with the HB releasing after a delay.
Watching it again, I think I saw what happened. Manning threw in a subtle pump fake which froze Jenkins for a second and it appeared to me that McLeod just didn't see the ball until it was too late. I think he lost it. I don't think he had a clear sight-line on Manning.
It appeared Jenkins gambled thinking McLeod had the deep route and McLeod just didn't see the ball.
FWIW, McLeod took the blame after the play when Jenkins motioned at him.
Yea, it looked like a Cover 6 shell and just a case of bad luck.
Also interesting is that Janoris gave Trumaine some sort of signal pre-snap when they were up on the line in press which told him to bail. Because after the signal, they both started bailing pre-snap.

But I believe your on the quarters coverage., it's sometimes hard to tell when they don't do everything by the book, as in JJ hesitating just enough to trail by too much and get to the outside 1/4
Nick Wagoner @nwagoner · Nov 16McC blew the coverage and JJ was the victim. I thought that live.
