That sounds easy, but it is tougher than that. First off, if the CB misses the chuck, it will be an easy TD for Rice because Dillard will be running free while the CB is leaning forward and off balance. Even if the chuck is successful, there is no guarantee Dillard can't get enough separation to catch the ball.
Mixing up coverages is usually the best approach to take. If you do the same thing over and over, good WR will find a way to beat the coverage.
