Not so fast Eagles. I love this wrinkle McVay has added on his boot action, where he uses Higs as a decoy and the ball is instead dished to Kupp. Maybe he stole it, maybe we've run and I missed it, who knows, but gotta say it's pretty cool...
Situation
Pre-snap the Rams are on the right hash.
At the fake we see the boot action. That's Kupp blocking down on the end of the line. Higs is drawing 21 edge of the screen and the other ILB is coming for Goff.
The ILB at mid-screen is about to be drawn by Higs too, which tells me teams are well aware of the naked-boot-to-Higs thing. Meanwhile we see Kupp slowing down and sneaking a look at the middle of the field. Lastly note Goff's eye control. He is watching Higs and feeding that shit.
A beat later Goff knows the ball is going to Kupp but still isn't showing it. Jefferson upper left has a corner with outside leverage next to him we can't see from this vantage so he's covered. Woody is open but wouldn't get much since he'd be run into the safety. And look at that other ILB (near Kupp) running for Higs lol.
Goff looks and starts his throw in the same motion. The ILB is still close to Kupp but he's out of the play already.
As Kupp turns with the ball get a load of all that green.
19 yard gain in a drive that will end with a TD.
