Playing a lot of centerfield safety for the Indians was the 5’11” 165lb Motley. Motley’s discipline shined to me, as he did a great job of keying in on his reads, burning a hole through them as he played defense. Whether it was Cover 2 or Cover 3, his buy-in allowed him to correctly pass off receivers to fellow defenders who were seeing the same thing, thus eliminating all windows for opposing quarterbacks to throw to. As mentioned before, this mid-season form pass defense led to numerous coverage sacks. Further, Motley reacts appropriately to when the ball is in flight and seemingly explodes to play the ball the moment opposing quarterbacks start their motion. This led to the standout safety making many, what offenses would call, ordinary and “safe” throws into legitimate 5050 balls.
