Watching it live on my phone on the way to work I didn’t fully appreciate the chess match we got to watch between two brilliant football minds and the mastery Goff and Raggs have in this offense
At 15 seconds the green dot gets cut. Meaning coaches can no longer talk to players.
The defense shows the look after the cutoff; you can see Ragnow pointing and Goff audible.
The defense then audibles to shift after they see how quickly Goff adjusts and we catch them in soft coverage. They still generate pressure but Goff lays a perfect pass to Raymond off his back foot
This offense is running like peak Colts under Manning. Rags and Goff are like coaches on the field. The old narrative of Goff unable to perform once the mic is cut seems to be dead and off the diss wheel forever
The more I watch him play, the more insistent I become in ranking him higher than Suh in “the best who’ve played in a Lions uniform”. We’re never ever going to have a Center as good as Ragnow again.
Also, those claims of him folding like a cheap tent under pressure are melting away. Dude is money when they bring the blitz. Goff and the other players know the offense so well that it’s difficult to stop
I suspect a lot of that is just confidence. Not only in himself but knowing Dan still has his back even if he makes a mistake. We also need to give credit to mark brunell. I suspect a lot of Goff’s growth as a quarterback came from mark’s experience of 20 years in the league. Playing every role a quarterback can play. He’s pretty much seen and done it all.
@LineBusy the best to ever wear a lions uniform? How old are you? There is a statue outside and a painted over mural that may disagree with that. And I love the guy.
