E12 FH Tailgate Gang
Actually I would think that this play is supposed to go against the pass rush. Miller bypasses the rush and becomes the hot receiver. I mentioned that last year and this year that Tannehill is not good at it. Last year he took the sack and this year he is going to the covered receiver. Brady used to make a living with this play.Well 1) That looks to be a designed quick slant to Hartline. 2) That's Lamar Miller. 3) Hartline drops the ball. That simple. 4) Look at the LB flying in. If Ryan looks to his right to make a read and possibly throw it to Miller he is getting lit up and then we complain that he took a sack.
If you look at Miller you see him turning immediately towards the QB as soon as he passes the rusher. Hartline is the outlet if Miller and the rusher tangle up or are engaged. In that case Tannehill would have the time to target Hartline over the middle. If you look at Hartline's run you see him briefly separating when he turns up field just as the pass arrives. If Tannehill would have played it right then Lamar would have gotten the ball. If Lamar and the rusher get tangled up or are engaged Tannehill has that additional second to let Hartline go up the field. The pass then should have been dropped between the DB and the safety.
The progression should have been:
a) Lamar
b) Brian
c) throw away or run.
