I'll have to watch it again.

The deflection move he makes against the primary is a sword entry technique, not a big wide block, but an angling inward attack, that deflects the right (gun) hand just enough to take it off while he brings his own attack home.

If they'd done this perfectly (unlikely in the real world, but to demonstrate the theory), Cruise would have stepped in deeper and to his left / their right, which would have put the primary between Cruise and the secondary. That would have done away with the need for the bobble, due to blocking the line of fire with the first BG.

Never get between them if you can avoid it.

Always put one of them between you and the rest if you can.
