OK, I think we agree that:
[LIST=1]
[*]We were in cover 2 zone.
[*]In zone Josh had responsibility for the curl/flat area as Shafer calls it.  
[*]Esk had over the top and blew his assignment.
[*]Had it gone for a TD the 6 would have been Esk's.
[/LIST]
Where we seem to disagree:
[LIST=1]
[*]When Josh bit he got beat immediately and very badly and the WR was wide open long before the safety would have picked him up. His job on a vertical was to hold the inside seam and force a bubble to give time for the safety to feel the route happening. He was out of position to do that and the WR shot up field in a straight line. Josh never had him covered within his area of responsibility.
[*]The minute he got beat he started to try to recover and was not worried about an underneath route nor was he in a position to cover it as he had his hips turned and was headed up-field as fast as he could go.
[*] It would not have taken more than an average throw because the WR had separated from Josh by a wide margin. 
[*]A completion for a large gain would have been on Josh primarily. 
[/LIST]
I grant you that a really good play by the safety or maybe a bit hit would have had a chance to recover on that play but, in the end, I think we had the worst case - two blown coverages on the same play.
