Now I will agree with you that I THINK he was in a drop zone.
But I can't state it with authority. You don't generally see a guy let the WR get that far into his body, forcing him to turn his hips and try to break like that if he's in a true zone coverage.
I think that was a designed drop, yes. I also think that there was some really bizarre technique getting back into his zone, especially with that little jab step he took towards the slant as he flipped his hips.
That's not a natural movement if you're in a drop zone. I figure you don't let Edelman eat up the space that quickly and then you stay in your backpedal longer if you were intending to drop the whole way.
I mean unless your ultimate conclusion was that he was baiting Brady into THINKING it was man coverage to force the throw. But man, that's 4D chess kinda shit that you usually only see from the truly elite CBs.
And even his biggest fans won't call Breeland this super-savvy, elite CB, would they?
