Now we cant see the whole field here. But it looks like there is a ton of room to step up in the pocket to the left. Or possibly take off running to the left. Again I dont see who is over there.
That guy is in his face in about 3 seconds which is way too fast and the tackle is just skating backwards so I don't think AM expected him to be there that fast and thought he could get the throw off.
It does look like there is room to his left, but if you watch the play live he has already started his throwing motion with what looks like time but again the guy is there so fast. As well, if he moves to his left Wandale might no longer be open or he doesn't have room to get the pass in before Wandale is out of bounds. He probably could have run, but I think he knew he had Wandale but didn't anticipate his tackle would that ineffective at blocking.
