Tampa 2 may not have been the best coverage, but it doesn't look like the touchdown passes over Lathan were his responsibility. A friend of mine told me they heard Dunlap say on the radio those TD passes were the safeties responsibility. After some study, and discussion with a defense expert I was watching the IU/Washington game with, I learned that the middle linebacker is only supposed to take a deeper drop and that the safety has the responsibility for deep routes. Apparently, by the linebacker taking the deeper drop it makes it easier for the safeties to make a play.
Of course, you would have to confirm with Leslie or Brown what coverage was called and who had responsibility for what.
