FO’s weekly Cover 3 feature highlights Don Brown versus the Vikings last week. It’s a great read.
Brown hit the mother lode on the next play, a draw to the left out of another three-wide, with Ugoh selling the pass blocking very well. Ugoh lured Burnett off to the far left as Brown cut inside from a run left, then took linebacker Erin Henderson inside while Brown extended the play outside. From there, it was off to the races for 38 yards, and Brown had excellent downfield blocking from receivers Austin Collie and Pierre Garcon. Only the closing speed of end Marcus Howard prevented a 65-yard touchdown run. On this play, Brown showed an outstanding mixture of patience in waiting for the delayed aspect of the play to develop, and quickness when the blocking was there.
The analysis as to why the Colts picked Brown is off (last paragraph), but the rest is very solid.
