1) The 59 yard TD run ... that was Taylor Martinez type "plant & go" top end speed when he saw the man coverage and play flow leaving a 1st - 2nd base size hole between he and the sticks ... he was on those defenders so fast they couldn't even break off their coverage routes and get a SINGLE finger on him - as he split diagnol & again showed that home run speed that tantalizes OCs and TERRIFIES DCs
2) His willingness to stick in the pocket & keep eyes downfield - even when I thought Satterfield put him in VERY tough spots to do so - such as near our own zone first half 3rd and LONG & Purdy stands in, throws a prayer up fade to the WR#1 and takes a hit at his knees to get a flag - that type of stuff can mess with a dude forever but he seems tough - still Satt, with our OTs, the continued lack of TE chipping & RB assistance in blocking game are maddening
3) The throw to Malachi Coleman before the half - that was an NFL throw & an NFL catch - Coleman extended his entire 7'0+ wing span after hitting top speed on the deep angle in - Purdy let it RIP as hard as he could to that spot where Coleman was told "GET TO" and Purdy was told "rip it too..." that was an NFL concept all the way and a sign of just how dynamic the young offense is going forward, especially when you consider ...
4) Purdy threw a ROCKET LAUCHED BULLSYE to Lloyd in 1Q on a route concept that again shocked me given the down & distance ... but Rhule has said multiple times, "you don't learn to win by playing not to lose ..." (where was that mindset late game though coach and in OT? I think we'll see that VERY much addressed as Rhule is not the type to watch wins get eaten by kicking / time management woes - BUT, it was clear Satt/Rhule did not quite trust the kicking game nor the QB/OL combination in either direction to let us play to properly max out the win % ... Alvano gotta make 40 yarders tho )
