The blocking did not fail. You can’t expect to hold the ball for four seconds. Especially when the receiver clearly has 1-on-1 and leverage to the spot to which he’s running.There are two routes on the play, both of which take time to open up, when your throwing a ball on a deep shot you take a deep drop, If you don’t believe me, go watch Brees deep throws in last. It’s standard procedure to take a 7-9 step drop when your throwing the ball 40 - 50 yards down the field.
Watch The reply on it, he cant throw it sooner, the play takes time to develop and his drop and loading up to throw is in absolute perfect sync where he should be to release the ball in the route.
the blocking failed 200% Payton would be the first to say it too.
See for yourself.
