If Ivory is suppose to leak out to the left there, then he REALLY screwed up and he clearly made an effort to stay inside. Which is why I'm more inclined to believe that the guy that made 4 or 5 errant short throws on the day simply made another one here.  

Of course it's tough to tell exactly what the play design was without more info, but that's my guess.

well a screen is more to get the ball to the reciever behind a wall(screen) of lineman not in space ivory was not supposed to set up in space with no blockers in front of him.

Valid points taken from both of you. I suppose it's possible that Ivory did some improvising there when he shouldn't have.  He sure did have A LOT of space over there to the inside though.  Had he scampered outside around Linder however, it looked like Omameh was going to seal his guy away from the sideline as well. 

Would have been nice to get in FG range there at the least.
