but there is nothing that shows that Diarse isn't the first read.

that's definitely possible, yeah. i don't want to give the wrong impression, I don't have any inside knowledge about the playbook or anything like that.

basically my brother and I just sat on the phone yesterday for about 4 hours going frame by frame on the offense to try and finally figure out why we do some of the things we do. that wasn't our plan, it just sort of happened because I don't have a girlfriend right now and he has two young kids and this was an excuse to lock the door to his office all afternoon.

so, yes, I'm pretty much just surmising based on the entire play, on everyone involved, on how it started, how it finished, how players react to changes, etc. and yes, "surmising" is just a grandiose way of saying "guessing".
