Tannehill bootleg reads and tendencies. OLB gotta play discipline and not get over zealous in pursuit of Henry and preventing the cutback. The bootleg is the threat and they need to be in Tannehill's face everytime he hands the ball off. They'll lose an extra defender if Henry cuts back, but it'll nullify the threat of Tannehill running. I've also gotta think that the OLBs are fast enough and hopefully are aware enough to keep themselves in position to still make a play on Henry.
Also, the SS needs to play on the weak side of the formation to discourage the boot. It should be noted that Tannehill usually boots out of the I formation or Ace formation on 2nd and 5 or less.
Not in the video, but it's something I've noticed. Peters pre-snap alignment tells the QB what the defense is in. He plays significantly off when the Ravens are in a cover 1 defense. He can't play as free as he likes to with these safeties. The Ravens need to target a top notch safety in FA or the draft regardless of what happens in these playoffs. They're not going to get the most out of Peters or the defense with the safeties currently on the roster.
Wink should show a 6 man blitz and have them pull out to play the slants and hook routes over the middle. The Ravens have had little to no success sacking Tannehill in the last two games when blitzing, so it makes sense to me to adjust and make it harder for him to pass. Support Peters over the top with safety help, so he can play his game and create turnovers.
