Also, on the INT the Safety(Mitchell) is coming up to cover the slot or blitz, or something, so he is in the seam to prevent a quick slant to the slot WR. On the completion to Coleman, the Safety (Davis) turns and bails out to deep 1/2 of the field and leaves the seam, so if Chickillo bails out to the flat quickly it will be an easy completion down the seam.
Again, its a good breakdown, but its comparing apples to oranges and trying to say that one is better than the other.
