49ers Playbook: SF Advances to NFC Championship game

[@nateward7120]

“He doesn’t have to be. He’s Brock Purdy. And I love it.” Has to be my favorite thing you’ve ever said.

[@jonnydel]

🔥🤘🤘

[@97CAB564]

Easily the best channel I've ever found on KZbin. Perfect explanations with sufficient complexity to explain things to those of us who are fairly certain something went wrong and wasn't just "x player bad", but can't quite explain how. Like that tipped pass to Aiyuk. Announcers blamed Purdy, Twitter users blamed the weather, but no one thought to check the film and see that McKivitz got pushed around like a little boy. It'll be very interesting to see if you do some sort of evaluation after the season is over. I think a lot of people would like to get a grip on the Bosa situation beyond "not many sacks, Bosa bad".

[@DystopiaFatigue]

On CMC's 39 yd TD, you can hear Purdy telling Kittle, "Stay there," instead of going in motion. It was either he saw the play clock was low, or he wanted him to stay playside because of his pre-snap read. Either way, that's high-level QBing, Brady, or Rodgers type stuff.

[@bigg9399]

Charlie Woerner, not Kittle

[@DystopiaFatigue]

@@bigg9399 oops. Thanks.

[@katstone780]

Purdy's done that quite a lot over the course of the season. On the very first snap to Seattle in Week 14, he canned the 1st play called in the huddle and the play they went with was a 72 yard run for Cmc

[@jonnydel]

It's probably a check based off the front look.

[@andylai6989]

According to Ted Nguyen of The Athletic: "Juice told me, there was supposed to be a TE motion. Purdy knew it wasn't necessary for the play to work (guessing it was a return motion). You can see Juice telling TE to move and Purdy tells him to stay there. He got set again right in time."

[@NorCalRCMT]

20:29 the blocking 10 yards into the Gatorade by Jennings is amazing

[@FarReach01]

Saw that. Was wondering at the time if the GB player could have been called for delay of game for holding Jennings there and not letting him get back to the huddle

[@ninjadom03]

ya and matt lafleur was bitching to the ref about it lmao.

[@jonnydel]

Was so fun to see

[@Wolfeson28]

I also had a good laugh at #7 for Green Bay thinking he's got an easy shot on Aiyuk at the end of the play...except he's the one who ends up on his ass, with Aiyuk walking past going, "Um...was that supposed to be something?"🤣

[@lytfly1879]

This is by far the best analysis on KZbin

[@cyanrohen1970]

lets go!!!!!! Lions were coming for ya!!! I feel a big game coming. Purdy throwing 3+ TDs and Ayiuk catching 2. Thanks Jonny

[@jonnydel]

I LOVE it!!!

[@dfaulk95]

This is my prediction too with Aiyuk having two TDs, except I think Purdy has 4 TDs 👀

[@TheProdiKaLiSon]

Brock Purdy is a stud. Playing like a veteran and a selfless player at that. And he's only in his second year! If he keeps on this pace he will be amongst the greats.

[@nateward7120]

I already felt good about this week because it was weather + rust that was the main problem, and we don’t have to worry about either of those this week. And to that end, we now have a full head of steam, coming off Purdy’s FIRST 4QCB. I really appreciate this breakdown because you’re right, Purdy wasn’t as bad as the anxiety of the moment made it seem. You didn’t even show the Ray Ray MA that might have actually sparked this team by causing Purdy to yell at everyone! I hope he does that more!

[@nicholasriley8772]

[@wesr9277]

Great video as always. I feel a whole lot better about the game than I did after watching live. Seems Uncle Sherm could played the what if game too, a couple less slips and this game is likely an easy win.

[@jonnydel]

Exactly. What if our guys don't slip, what if Purdy gets a second longer - we had a bubble screen to CMC that was about 2 steps away from being a house call instead of 6 yards, what if DeMo doesn't drop a pick - could've been 42-10

Great work as always. Keep’m coming JD!!

[@bigal6976]

Thought experiment. Purdy rushed for 144 yds this year. If Allen, Jackson, & Mahomes only had 144 yds each, their team mates would have added the balance of those yards to their totals. Consequently, their team mates don't receive accolades. Purdy made sure his team mates got the maximum opportunities and thus many are in the pro bowl. I submit that Purdy's unselfish play has made his team mates better and not the other way around! While Purdy is being disrespected for helping his team mates get to the pro bowl, the other three are praised by the media while their team mates opportunities are lessened! Brock Purdy is the hero AND the MVP for this year!

[@gurpreettoor8547]

Your doing a lot of assuming with that kind of statement. It's like saying if cmc didn't get all those yards jordan mason or Eli would have

[@jonnydel]

I think it's also a distinction in how a QB treats what his 4th option is

[@WesleyDevenberg]

Sure. But its a good bet someone on the team would get those yards. My thought was that mobile QBs don't look to his team mates because he's ready to run.

[@Schmickey562]

Great breakdown my friend. One thing that no one talks about is how small the windows were in this game. It’s hard enough to make completions at this level and when you couple that w bad protection and the rain it’s literally impossible. But Purdy makes these throws look easy. He’s Kurt Warner-esqe in this regard. So glad he’s ours. You got this Purdy!

[@jonnydel]

For. Real

[@strawberryreacts9585]

And that is one of the things people constantly knock him for..."he's throwing to wide open guys!". Then when he does make tight window throws...crickets

[@natelollar9848]

As usual spot on JD. It looks to me like there was a lot of rust in this game. 3 weeks for most of these guys will do that I guess. Some of them were a half step off, a little late, a missed block. Hoping that was just knocking the rust off and they will look like the 9ers we know this Sunday.

[@Rajeenik]

On the 41 yards PI penalty on Thomas, I feel this is less on Thomas panicking, and more on the WR suddenly stopping because the ball is underthrown, while Thomas is at full speed and bumps into him which is PI.

[@andreyhatley]

26:41 I think this is his learning from his first pick on the ravens game. He might’ve felt like he was gonna make the throw late and the safety on the right was gonna jump it like Kyle Hamilton did

[@jonnydel]

Yeah, no need to risk it there

[@katstone780]

According to Baldy, he wanted Cmc but Cmc wasn't looking back yet. I wonder if clock management is part of the reason he scrambled for it

[@salborromeo2316]

Thanks Jonny! I still wonder why you're not an assistant coach for Niners or some what in that capacity.

[@jonnydel]

[@distprod]

Jonny would spend one year under Kyle as an offensive quality control coach then get poached by the Cardinals or Panthers to become their OC. No more Jonnydel Football Academy 😢

[@backyardbirderhd4562]

On him rushing the ball on our last drive near the endzone, what spooked him was seeing McKivitz #68 getting bigger and bigger in his peripheral vision. He has every right to book it, lol.

[@timothycruz2005]

I did notice all the slips durning the game, but I guess it was a bigger issue than I thought. This game seems like a big fail to the equipment management. I hope they really take a look at this for next time we play in bad weather games.

[@jonnydel]

FOR. REAL.

[@hkmai]

It’s pretty sad that the packers’ players had better footings than the 49ers yet they’re playing at home.

[@brianlance]

Ambry's first PI probably saved a TD. I think he was beat even if he had maintained he outside leverage. He's the biggest liability on D. When Kinlaw tripped himself, I initially thought he was having a seizure with the way he went down. 25:15: it's obviously the system, right? no way it could be the guy throwing the ball I'm fine with the missing Aiyuk open for the TD at the end. Still got a good gain on the scramble and kept the clock running.

[@jonnydel]

That's what I thought about Kinlaw too, lol. I watched it 3 times before seeing that his foot got caught in the turf

[@nathanlau3275]

With the weather not a worry, pass protection would be my concern going in to next game.

[@anthonyparkernearlifeexp]

I would love tohear your thoughts on Kyle's end of the half clock management. Sometimes I think he's just really really stubborn to a fault. IT made no sense not to call a time out and lose 45 seconds on the clock ruining any chance of getting a TD.

[@privateprivate31337]

Fred was walking off the field on that final pick when Greenlaw was running all over the field waiting to fumble that ball

[@henrybeckwith2068]

To be honest, on that final drive, Purdy running probably helped more as it bleed the clock a little bit more before scoring. Don’t wanna score to fast and give them a chance.

[@slipperyeel9206]

Lenoir yelling at Dre to get down was funny as f

[@Wolfeson28]

You can see almost every defender yelling at him to get down!🤣🤣

[@JJDay-ve3jp]

I got a strange, feeling right at the beginning of the game with Deebo, Samuel, returning kicks, putting him in danger of getting injured with potentially three more games to play. Then seeing Brock Purdy, wearing a glove and missing his throws, I thought for sure the game was not gonna end up well.

[@darthvirgin7157]

BP and the 49’ers actually had to work hard for those 3 touchdowns. two of Loves touchdowns were thanks to great field position and a gimme pass interference.

[@jonnydel]

Greenlaw should have followed the blocks by Fred and Lenoir on his first INT, It was an easy pick 6. You can see Fred throw his hands up like "why did you go back there" LOL

Thanks for the great breakdown. Hopefully the team reviewing their mistakes, plus dry conditions next week, will address most of the issues. What are your thoughts on the O-line's performance overall? It seemed like Purdy was constantly being pressured, and CMC had almost no room to run except for a few big plays. Side note: I understand the importance of members' support and such, but could you please at least not put the plug *in the middle* of a play breakdown? That was even more annoying than those 30-second insert ads that the TV broadcasts have started doing. At least they shove them in *between* the plays.

[@Forty9Problemz]

[@jonnydel]

[@sensor4747]

Great vid Jonny. @ 15:27 of this breakdown I disagree with the over route being Greenlaw's responsibility. He has Jones in front as the checkdown and I can't expect him to gain depth to take away the crosser and also rally up to Jones if Love checks the ball down. Rather, I feel that Ryan needs to peel off his coverage (see through the guy he's guarding) and pick up the crosser with leverage. Even if the call is cover 3 mable, I just don't see the need to run with the seam route all the way when you can pass it off to the MOF safety. In any case, I'm hoping that Brown can fill in as the starting S this week; with the Lion's weapons at WR, it's all hands on deck.

[@jonnydel]

In Mable, the WILL is responsible for picking up the #3 on any crossing route. The checkdown, that's the responsibility of Warner. It's a tough task. But, that's how it's matched in Saban's playbooks(where Mable originates) and Quinn's playbooks - the foundation of this system

[@TheAptos]

Is Greenlaw considered the will even though he’s lined up on the strong side of the formation?

[@sensor4747]

@@jonnydel Right, but the Packers lined up in 2x2 and actually motions over #80 into the backfield at the snap (So there's really only 1 Wr to the field side). Even going through the film I don't really know who would you call the #3 Wr here? Honestly, I guess I'm just curious about the assignments in this situation because from what I recall, Cover 3 Mable is usually in response to 3x1 formations, but here the Packers line up 2x2 (with the TE tight to the formation)

[@SteefPip]

The TD to Kittle is going to draw some of the "schemed" comments that dog the team. By the definition they're using, every play is schemed. What happened in that play was GB blitzed, and Purdy responded the way the best do, rolling out and finding an open guy. It's what Russell Wilson did to us for years with endless success.

[@jonnydel]

It's to a point where people assume anything good he does is because Kyle Shanahan is a genius. Yet, Kyle Shanahan wasn't genius enough to win without Jimmy G and Brock - and at a much higher efficiency with Brock.

[@Mike__B]

Any idea why Ryan was chosen over Brown at safety? I feel on the big honking DPI there should have been some safety deeper than the route went, it's hard to blame Thomas on it though, he turned his head for an under thrown pass that was slightly behind but the receiver just slowed enough for him to run over him at that moment.

[@katstone780]

Brown is a rookie who was also rusty from not playing for weeks due to injury (Iirc he got injured on Xmas) so Kyle went with the vet who's been playing the last couple of weeks

[@jonnydel]

Kyle said that he's been burned by rookie's coming back with a bunch of weeks off, in the playoffs. He didn't want to put all that on a rookie just coming back.

[@katstone780]

So the 1st almost pick was Kyle not putting Purdy in a position to succeed. Figures 14:12 Idk why there are even posts saying he's just dunking and letting Cmc do all the work when this was a great throw to Kittle for 40 yards 28:11 Notice how Fred has his arms up celebrating and even started walking away while the secondary was in shambles, running around after Dre🤣 Hope you highlight how Lions seem to call a lot of trick plays.

[@nicholassitter6400]

Honestly I think the ravens would be a better matchup. The niners saw their defense already so they would know a bit more what to expect. Plus Mahomes in the Superbowl is like Brady in the Superbowl, never an easy game.

Niners could've easily won this by 3 scores if some of Purdy's passes connected and things like Thomas's PI or the long kick off return didn't happen. In the end I have high hopes the niners use this as a galvanizing force to win against Detroit and head to the Superbowl.

At 10:00 so you go back to ground and pound like we've done so many times before and get your chunk plays back. Why keep passing just to punt. Kyle also has this reputation as well. Even Terry Bradshaw called him out on it before the 2019 Superbowl and as a result we lost. PS4 might just be a kids game and we laugh snark at it.

[@jonnydel]

It's about timing for some routes. I know JT hates it, from a QB perspective. Kyle is using it as a way to get a guy, who defenses have to account for in the screen game, in a screen position and you will always see defenses shifting to account for that. Just because he's not as viable as an option, doesn't mean it doesn't help the offense

[@RiCKTEEZ]

@@jonnydel I understand what you are saying, but It doesn’t threaten anything downfield. The defender always zones that short area and that offensive player is essentially dead and the defender can also help anyone else in that area, leaving others free. It would be amazing if you could break down that motion and the pros and cons!

[@jonnydel]

@RiCKTEEZ I've done it on my pod 🤷‍♂️ Just because a route doesn't go vertical doesn't mean it doesn't affect the defense. We've had plays where Deebo is split side and his route is to turn and face Purdy from where he started. There's a lot of minutia in it. How does it love the Apex? What pre-snap does it give on the MIKE? He's playing at a screen depth, ore-snap so you get a defined look on a screen presentation, pre-snap instead if asking your QB to do it post-snap, making a read more efficient. There's a lot of reasons to do it.
