Great read as always, Thanks.
Having just watched the game I concur with your thoughts........ I came away really pleased with Blythe, He is just a heady solid blocker that has been plug and play. The OL did a great job in general although there seemed to be a few small misses giving Gurley nowhere to run........... but that was also due to Arizon stacking it in there. But their DL also seemed solid.
Woods, Kupp and Cooks really had a great day and while I think Goff played well, these three really helped him out. Goff to me just doesn't quite have it there yet. Yes he does some really nice things that almost go unnoticed, like the little movements in the pocket, standing tough and getting the ball in the area to let his WR make a play. However he also missed on a few plays that for a QB hoping to be great he needs to make and should look easy.
- The miss to the endzone on broken coverage (to Woods I think) for an easy TD.......... just needed touch.
- The batted pass to an otherwise open WR for a TD............ a little floater over the rushing LB was needed.
- The long pass to cooks was great............... but if thrown when it needed to be a hair earlier, cooks would have run under it for a TD.
There were other plays too, but these really stood out as opportunities.
I would add the DL to the good list too. Donald was active and causing issues, Suh has a great power rush and Brockers is making use of less attention!
Anyway just my thoughts.
