Points of Obvious Refinement: Real Salt Lake vs. LAFC

Here’s the deal, I’ve spoken in the past about how useful I think Andrew Putna’s ability to kick the ball 100 yards is. In fact, it was after Real Salt Lake beat Los Angeles Galaxy FC a few weeks back. I’m not as interested in it as RSL match commentator David James, but I do think it brings an interesting outlet to the team.

I’ll spare you diving into that again.

However, I think Sunday’s loss to LAFC showed two things:

Putna can easily kick the ball 100 yards with no wind.

Douglas Martinez and Corey Baird are the only two players on the team that can make a 70 yard sprint to be there when the ball comes down.

It was great to see one pass go all…
