“Use a spy” “Key on Taysom” The NFL’s dots show the Seahawks defense did just that and the Saints made them pay.
And for those who don’t want to bother to click through to the actual dots, here is what things looked like at the moment that Trautman passed linebacker Jordyn Brooks.
In this image it is possible to see what the Seattle defense was attempting to do on the play. Having loaded the box with eight defenders, Boye Mafe is rushing from his outside linebacker position while Ryan Neal has stepped up to protect against a run by Hill. Christian Jones , Cody Barton , Jordyn Brooks and Neal all appear to be keying on Hill, waiting to see where he runs with the ball.
What is readily apparent from this image is the fact that all three of Trautman , Juwan Johnson and J.P. Holtz are in the pattern to the offensive right side, with Burns the only defender between those three and the end zone. Just a moment later it’s possible to see how the play has developed, and how Hill had plenty of options regarding where to throw the ball.
The pass obviously went to Trautman, but Holtz is wide open as well and Hill could have just as easily thrown the ball that direction. In short, for all the fans screaming about the defense needing to adjust and account for Hill as a runner and to use a spy on him or key on him, the Seahawks did just that. In fact, it appears they used multiple defenders keying on Hill to the point that the result was an absolutely disastrous play on which not just one, but two, Saints were completely uncovered in the pattern and a third was more than five yards away from the nearest defensive back.
