King assigns blame for pick 6

Crazy late, he tries to explain what happened. He clearly doesn’t want to ‘denegrate’ Porter’s play or make it sound like he’s ‘excusing Manning’, but the context is that he he finally bothered to look at Wayne’s route.  Duh.

Third: I don’t see Wayne on an iso camera running routes often, but this one was rounded and lazy and not run with the speed that could have had Wayne cutting off Porter. All in all, I’d credit Porter for a great football play, but I’d also criticize Wayne for his route and, to a lesser degree, Manning for making a throw that Porter saw coming a hundred miles away.

Explain to me how he can know if it’s a poor throw.  He bases this on the fact that it was picked off and that “Porter saw it coming”.  If Wayne runs that route correctly, it doesn’t matter if Porter sees it coming.
