But either way, even though he thought the TE was going to keep going on the wheel route and the guy hesitated, it was the CB who peeled off of the WR and picked off the pass. Basically it was such and off target throw it got picked off by a different receiver's defender. I don't think Vince even saw the CB as part of the play. He thought he was throwing it out there for his TE to run under. Even with perfect communication the best he could have had was the TE playing DB and trying to break up the pass.
