Based on what Capers and Bush said, my take was that it was a kind of a read D where Wood was supposed to take the guy running the outside route and Bush the guy more to the inside. It was a bit of a broken coverage in that Wood was late to react to Miller, but Bush was all over the inside stuff. The guy he was supposed to be on was running a deeper in route or maybe a seam route, but Bush jumped all over the shorter route and made the play.
These are the types of defensive calls that killed us against AZ two years ago since we kept screwing up who was supposed to be where, IMO.
There was a play later on that was like a 16 yard pass over the middle where Bush was supposed to be more to the inside but he let himself drift outside and it led to a completely wide open pass over the middle. I think one of the reasons our D looked better with Bishop and Hawk in as nickel LBs instead of Barnett and Chillar is that Bish and Hawk are much more assignment sure in coverage and don't misread what is happening even if they may not be as physically gifted as cover men.
