Don't get an attitude with me. You know damn well there is more than one person in the secondary, there are at least 4, nickel 5 and so on. Don't talk down to me like I am the idiot.
Not every play is man coverage, there is a thing called zone coverage, not sure if you heard of it. Not every db follows the receiver for the entire play. Number 29 Quin, wasn't even lined up to cover Jackson on that play, number 31, the Safety Pollard, and it looks like zone coverage, and he released it to the safety Eugene Wilson, during zone there are specific parts of the field each defender is responsible for, it works sometimes but there are holes in it, which is why several d-coordinators came up with Tampa 2, which still has holes.
Quin was covering Maclin on the outside, Pollard had Jackson in the slot, but released him to Eugene Wilson and focused on Celek over the middle. Quin diagnosed the play by reading Vick's eyes, which wasn't even his assignment (he abandoned Maclin after a few seconds) and ran across the field to try and cover someone else's man. But I don't know if you can understand that concept, since the corner is supposed to run with the defender in man coverage every single play in your mind. It was Jackson on Pollard which is a mismatch in the first place. If Quin had abandoned Maclin right away to pick up Jackson you would be whining about that as well because there was no safety help on Quin's side of the field if he abandoned Maclin and it would have been a touchdown.
Vick diagnosed the mismatch, a 4.4 wr on a 230 pound safety, even if Pollard had stayed with him instead of releasing him to the much faster safety, it would have still been a completion because Pollard would have a hard time covering him for that long man to man. This is what the play looked like watching it in slow motion from a different angle. There is no 100 percent sure way of knowing, but Im pretty sure the assignment wasn't for Quin to abandon Maclin and run with Jackson while Pollard covers nobody.
Yes not every defense can execute another defense's game plan. The Texans aren't that great as a pass defense, so they damn sure can't execute it. Vick did get the snot knocked out of him on that play. The good pass defenses he has played have found ways to slow him down. Once there is more game film for them to break down they will have even better game plans. You never heard of one year wonders? quarterbacks who do well until a decent amount of tape is on them? well there is little tape of Vick running Reid's offense. It will only be a matter of time. Don't insult me like a child. A black guy is playing above average at quarterback, get over it. Like in the past, this will stop eventualy. There is no conspiracy for all black corners to stop covering their receivers, that is absurd.
