Checked it out again. Woodson and I think Tramon Williams are up to the line covering the two WR's on that side. Some motion towards the middle (behind Owens) by Austin creates confusion right at the snap. Williams starts running with Owens down the right sideline when he was initially lined up on Austin, before Austin crossed with TO. Woodson ends up covering nobody. Collins runs over to tackle Austin.

Good recap.
I wonder if Woodson was supposed to be shadowing Owens no matter what and Williams thought he should be the help over the top instead of the safety?
The motion looked like it got the best of Woodson there.
I'd have to say from just quickly looking at the play again I put the fault not on Collins, but on Woodson.
I think Collins was supposed to be the cover on top of Owens while Woodson was shallow and Williams was supposed to be man to man on Austin.
I'll post a video of it when I get back home. I have some family matters to tend to and I'll be back with a video.
