IMO it was a good play by the CB. It was underthrown slightly, but didnt need an NFL caliber throw as one article said. Literally an inch farther ahead and thats a completion to Enunwa.
Honestly if I had a dollar for every time I hear a CB say they are going to pick one, or that they know what route to jump etc. Its no different than the CB saying "Im going to pick the slant, PLEASE run the slant." The receiver runs a slant-go, the CB jumps the slant and the receiver cuts and is wide open. If a DB is waiting and anticipating routes, thats when they get burned. It was indeed a great play by that corner, and by calling it during the week it looks even better. If he mouths off like that, and doesnt get a pick and gets burned he looks like a fool, it worked out in his favor this time.
On the other hand, TM needs to (even if he doesnt believe its the case) take ownership for them. Its one thing for a coach to snub the media, its another for a player. Ive been very honest in my feelings about the media and TM, but theres a give and a take. I think he could have showed some maturity and at least said "Ya, unfortunately your going to make plays, and also give some up." or something as blanket as that. But he instead just gives a "meh, not my fault" type answer. Hes still having and could continue to have a decent season, but just take the role of leader and team-mate on this one, it just looks a heck of a lot better.
