Can't disagree with that. But I know a lot of people that have had "stay in your primary" so beat into their heads that they don't dare go outside of it. In my training clinics for those wanting to work post-season, I try to impress upon them that primaries are first, not absolute, and second, mostly about on-ball coverage. It is easier to demonstrate the principle in a 2-person scenario and this play is a pretty good example of a play that demands the L both be looking off-ball and, at the same time, not limited to his "primary". I've bookmarked this video to incorporate into my training.
