You've got it right. In a Cover 3 the weak side cornerback is responsible for the deep third to his side of the field. It is up to the weak side backer to get out to that weak side flat. So using that play above, if the weak side corner is all over that comeback route, as a QB you are counting on your RB winning that matchup with the WLB, either by making him miss a tackle or beating him on the route. And if the WLB were to blitz...then we're into hot reads, which I will address later in a response to baka's latest post.

I think it is always fair to wonder how in the world a QB misses not one, but two guys running open deep. As I noted earlier, I think Brady gave it as much time (3.53 seconds) as he could before his internal alarms were screaming that he had to move on.
