1. Was I the only one who had the following thoughts in quick rapid succession:
Oh @#$%&...unaccounted rusher coming free on Goff's blindside...he doesn't see him...big sack/strip coming.
OK...well, at least Goff sees him coming...only a sack.
Oh @#$%&...did Goff just reverse out of pressure?
Oh @#$%&...he just squared up and tnrew a dart cor a completion!
I've seen Goff be deft in the pocket with slide steps, but I have NEVER, EVER seen him escape the rush like that before..
<snipped>
He's done that before.
He MAY have. But like I said...I haven't seen it before.
And just to clarify...what I'm talking about is Goff (sensing pressure from his blindside) reverse/spin out of it and be able to square up to throw an accurate pass. I've seen him attempt to spin out of pressure becore, but he usually loses his balance or veys knocked down.
The clips you highlighted show him: 1) sliding in the pocket (something I acknowledged him being able to do); and 2) delivering a strike on a designed roll-out.
Again, I'm talking about him reversing out of the rush (as opposed to him side-steping or running away from it).
