Drew Brees sits behind the line of scrimmage and surveys the Washington Redskins’ defense.
The two cornerbacks are lined up about 10 yards off the receivers and the safeties, who split the middle of the field, are only about 2 yards behind the corners. It looks like a zone concept, perhaps Cover 4.
Brees points out the middle linebacker and raises his left leg, signaling for tight end Ben Watson to motion to the other side of the formation.
The quarterback calls for the snap, and Brandin Cooks immediately takes off the down the field from the left side of the formation.
