Twitter: So how are you beating a 350 LB (Vita Vea) in coverage?

Yes, I know he's not a LB..

My God watch Cooper tell everybody what the play was pre-snap. Vea even takes a step that direction. He knew exactly where the ball was going. We HAVE to make it harder on the defense than this.

He wasnt saying where the play was going, he was pointing out who was blitzing.

Really a nice job by Tampa to get the free rusher off the edge. Its a shame because another half second and Rush could probably had a chunk gain with Cooks.

That is a crazy play by a huge man.

Vea is a superb athlete. Tampa is a really good defense especially up front.

Bowles' play call was for the LB to blitz and Vea to replace him. Rush identified the LB, and made the textbook playcall to throw hot at the space he vacated. Vea rotated over there, then showed some freakish range for an NT to make that tackle.

It wasn't so much Rush giving away the play, as Bowles being one step ahead before the huddle even broke.
