I saw it differently. Garmon initially was helping in the middle and reached out and put a paw in the blitzer's chest, stopping him cold. If memory serves, he slid over in front of him, which allowed the man to get through to Jordan.
When I first saw it I thought it was going to be 2 guys in Brooks's face like last year. But Garmon did the job and Jordan picked up the leftovers.
If Garmon would have stayed inside I think it would have been broken up since Jordan was looking inside too. Could he have slid outside to pick it up? Maybe, but I think it would have been more difficult.
