I know the defender is coming from his area, but I'm actually ok with him not guessing here.

Seems that it would look like a charge from the L position as he wouldn’t be able to determine if there was still forward motion by the defender.

I agree with this....the L has a closed look on this play and is as likely to get it wrong as get it right. I know it is the L's primary, but I like the C jumping on it with the more certain look.
