If he does bail to cover the slant, that leaves a nice seam for the slot receiver straight down the hashes.

It perhaps comes down to what others have also said. A quick passing attack with Rodgers in the gun may have some potential against Seattle's relatively vanilla but very effective defense. That could help offset Rodgers' relative immobility as well.
Nope, this one, though the topics are similar: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2...ips-film-study

Here is the relevant picture:



My bad. The slant would be defended by either the up safety or the nickel back in that D, not an ILB.
