What always amazed me about Holt was that he didn't look like he had blazing speed....but his technique immediately at the snap of the ball was special.
McVay has been raving about Kupp's intelligence....and how "Pro-ready" his skills are. Watch this game closely and it is on full display. His hand technique at the LOS to create separation is excellent. The Raiders reacted badly on Kupp's TD catch....but Kupp's hand slap shows this kid is strong.
The announcers (Raider's home announcer) kept remarking about Kupp getting "leverage"...and making the Raiders's DB repeatedly look bad. This is the "instinct" that McVay is speaking about. Kupp just knows how to get preferred body position to make a play.
Also credit Goff on some of his throws. There were a few that some may perceive as bad throws (down and outside). However...he is putting balls where only Kupp has a chance to catch them. He is not throwing it to Kupps chest, which would allow the DB to make a play. With Kupp's catching ability....this could be huge.
