That play is so on Russ it isn't even funny. He need to read the blitz pre-snap and adjust. Even if he can't say for certain where the blitz is coming from, there is a blitz coming and he knows the route tree doesn't have any hot routes. He could audible into a hot route on the right, given how far off Carolina is playing it. Also, he had plenty of time to throw left if he puts it up just before the receiver makes the break at the ten. Worst case scenario, he could decide that there are no options and throw it out the back of he end zone.
Russ struggles with disguised blitzes, even though he has good numbers against the blitz in general. I really think the best way to get him off his game is with these disguised blitzes if you can get edge containment like Carolina does here. Even a completely fake blitz where you show the pressure, but only send four seems to get him out of his comfort zone and he makes bad plays.
