It's not a "technique". It's what happens when a DB is trying to catch-up to the receiver. First, you get to the receiver. Then, you look for the ball. Same thing happens in the NFL. The good CBs are able to locate the ball at the last second to make a play. Same thing happens in the NFL on any contested pass (see, 49ers challenging Sherman with a mediocre receiver).

There is a chance. But, if the offense is struggling, going no-huddle likely would result in a 3-and-out that has a gassed D back on the field in less than a minute.

I think "did nothing" reads like the staff went conservative resulting in a 3-and-out. That was probably the most aggressive series we had all game. It's just that the QB couldn't make the throws (which is shocking for someone who is clearly a better QB than Rettig).
