It has to be mentioned that the 49er line is ranked somewhere in the mid 20’s related to pass pro. That Purdy has had the year he has statistically, with mediocre pass protection, is remarkable.

[@zeb_reynolds]

very true but I feel like with the amount of motion & play action they run combined with the much maligned (especially by JTO) 7-step drops they utilize, the narrative of this line being “bottom third” might be slightly overblown.

[@googleisskynet7312]

@@zeb_reynolds The Niners have one dominant O linemen. They have a guard who is pretty good, and their other three starters are below average. Most people who aren't Niners fans couldn't even name someone on our line other than Trent Williams.

[@RDSports5]

Exactly. It's an especially good point considering that BECAUSE Purdy has been playing behind that line this whole season, it makes sense that at the first sign of 'possible trouble' that he'd leave the pocket to go create. If he knew 90% of the time he could sit back there and bake a cake, then he maybe he'd approach each and every pass play very differently

[@robertdavis7398]

Niners are saving their 1st pick next draft for an Offensive tackle. They need to start revamping the OL

[@terrythegnome2408]

Purdy was the only MVP pick not playing behind a top 5 O line..

[@odomnou3073]

After the 4 four picks from the previous game, I think Purdy was being extra safe with ball.

[@BeingButterfly]

I don't think Brock Purdy was being "extra safe" with the football. I think he was using his better judgment rather than impulsively forcing plays. Nuance and context are important. There are too many false narratives being thrown out about players.

[@reasen3144]

I think that's why he didn't hit Deebo in the end zone on one play that was reviewed. Same as the first pick vs Baltimore. Good eye, learning from mistakes.

[@ImGonnasayit]

Extra safe with the ball is a terrible take just off that scramble drill play alone.

[@sarshares03]

i agree on purdy, he wasn't throwing it as "crazy" as he was doing before the ravens game. makes me think of the last TD throw vs the Seahawks to aiyuk with that dime throw with 4 defensive players around him. ravens game might have scared him a bit. seemed like he didnt want any of this throws to be tipped and intercepted. i wish he could play a half on sunday vs the rams. i think he could benefit from it. great breakdown!

[@scottp8952]

It could have been the 4 pics but Brock has nerves of steel and was still making big plays in that game after getting picked. My theory is that the stingers took a little of the crispness off. Same basic thing happened after the concussion with the losses that followed. If that is the case, it should be cleared up for the playoffs.

[@DudeTastic13]

I think having these experience (seeing great, mediocre, sh*tty defenses) will help him. Certainly he can take more risks against lower rated defenses, versus you just can't play the same way against, say, Baltimore.

[@BeingButterfly]

I don't think a quarterback that's played the game since he was five years old suddenly got scared of throwing the football because he threw 4 interceptions in a game. Instead I think Brock is working on disciplining himself not to be reckless with the football. You see this also playing out with defensive players going for big plays but end up missing a basic tackle. Fred Warner was talking about going for big plays trying to make them happen instead of being elite at the fundamentals and allowing the big plays to come. It's this way with Brock Purdy too. Discipline focused on the fundamentals and the big plays will present themselves.

[@Aaron-fb1pq]

With the Niners offence, Purdy doesn't need to be a hero. He needs to protect the ball, move the ball downfield, and execute. That's it, that's all that's required of him. When he does that, they win. I'm probably guessing this was the main discussion in the locker room after Baltimore.

[@angelicambition7029]

My guess as to why Purdy didnt throw to Deebo (Scramble TD) is because he had the DL in his face. Potential for a tipped pass/INT

[@BeingButterfly]

Quarterbacks win games with their minds too. Being smart wins games. One play at a time. No impulsive forced hero ball plays. Assertive, decisive and intelligent. Let's go!

[@lifelessnothing]

That and the defense was reasonably well positioned to to minimize YAC. They were ready to drive on Deebo as soon as Purdy threw. That throw would have required YAC to keep the drive alive. Purdy plays to win.

[@justinah7400]

[@zonk3835]

It’s easy to forget this is only his second year in the league. The Ravens really shook his confidence. I may be wrong but it would be hard to believe he is hesitating just a tick more because of the interception. Out of all the young guys playing this year it seems to me he is under more scrutiny due to his outstanding performance early on and the talks of him being “great”. He will be great because of his mind set and work ethic, but he is still developing the skill set to deal with adversity.

[@user-pr3jm9jx1f]

Not to mention he's been able to play this good after coming back from a tommy john surgery

[@zonk3835]

@@user-pr3jm9jx1f one of the things I think is more of a thing than people have been thinking about. I think that is what has been bugging him not a stinger

[@DudeTastic13]

If I had to guess on that scramble (2nd minute of the video), where CMC is open down the seam, I think Purdy made that split second decision to bail because the pocket was collapsing. And/or, his coaches prepped him this week to bail sooner instead of looking for the HR ball downfield after that BAL game. Throughout the entire body of work of this game, you can see that Purdy's yards per attempt is down to like 7 yards or something, instead of the normal 9+. I think it has to be the coaching and the play calling, to emphasize on taking those safe medium gains, including QB scrambles for 3 or 4. Don't take a sack (negative play), and don't turn it over. On the 2nd analysis (incompletion to 44), my guess is choosing between a single man coverage down the sideline, vs Aiyuk back up the middle where there maybe a safety lurking (i.e. Kyle Hamilton last week), had Purdy choosing the safer choice on the outside. Anyway, easy for me to say =) ... Also, that clear route by Aiyuk at 21:10 for Deebo, I'm guessing Purdy didn't expect the safety to misplay that to leave the HR ball to Aiyuk open, so he wasn't looking for that. I think after seeing Baltimore's secondary last week, it kind of elevated Washington's safeties this game lol ... Purdy gave them too much credit, and you can see why Hamilton is voted Pro Bowl and why Baltimore's defense is so highly rated. Anyway, great stuff JTO

[@RDSports5]

Great analysis, agreed

[@BeingButterfly]

I don't think Brock Purdy gave Washington's safeties too much credit as much as he is disciplining himself not to be mindlessly impulsive. If his default setting is to force plays, he'll have to discipline himself not to force plays. This is what I see.

[@bpraise517]

I promise Purdy wasn't trusting his eyes early on in the game...he got better later...he had redemption on his mind.

[@googleisskynet7312]

He was understandably a little off after the worst game of his young career.

[@bpraise517]

@googleisskynet7312 He loosened up later, Shanahan runs a tight ship...Purdy played cautious early...

[@googleisskynet7312]

@@bpraise517 Yeah, next goal for Brock should be to figure out how to get back on track after making serious mistakes. Shanahan doesn't tend to help the situation, I've noticed. He thinks Brock is a cyborg like him, so he doesn't normally call plays to get Brock back on track and in rhythm after he's rattled.

[@bpraise517]

@googleisskynet7312 Same thing he did in Atlanta in the Superbowl...he can't course correct...Run the ball with CMC...roll Brock out the pocket...(for starts) but the Ravens defense was more physical and athletic than the 49ers were ready for. Shanahan gaged 🤢🤮

[@blackfreud9048]

Good point.

[@BeingButterfly]

In the first play I think you're exaggerating when you state Aiyuk is running wide open. Is Aiyuk open? Yes. Is Aiyuk running "wide open"? No. Considering Brock Purdy just came off of a 4 interception game, I have no issue with him not forcing a pass to Aiyuk in a less than desirable passing window. There is a defender crossing over in front of Aiyuk at the same time another defender is side-by-side shadowing Aiyuk. How in any football reality does this equate to Aiyuk running wide open? It doesn't. He got the first down. Live to see the next play. This is what I see.

[@theMamba2424]

JT - someone FINALLY asked Shanahan in his latest presser why he does your favorite McCaffrey side shuffle pre-snap motion. He said is it about "watching how it moves the defense and getting people out of positions and watching their adjustments. They adjust to it and you see what it does." Are you buying that? To hear his full answer, search "Kyle Shanahan Shares Game Plan for Playing Starters in Week 18" and go to 10:10 in the video

[@Dontthink790]

As to why Purdy, and maybe the team as a whole weren't as sharp - Early morning east coast game for a west coast team off a short week. Guys are never as sharp, especially at the start. The reduced practice window means the timing on those tight window throws don't have the same muscle memory, so that leads to less structure more improvisation.

[@kathy_townsend]

They probably had to wake up 3 hours earlier than normal. Not an easy adjustment to make.

[@joeyfung-i]

LFG…. Purdy’s are by far my favorites. Great stuff JT.

[@honor4thoseb471]

Great breakdown! I was at this game and I agree about Brock not working within the intent of the plays. I was thinking this the whole game, about him not seeing the field like he normally does. Good read on that, and I’m glad you saw what I thought was going on as well.

[@airfiero4772]

I REALLY enjoy these videos. Thanks, dude!

[@Thebluesky0311]

I've been saying that for a while now. Nearly four years as QB 1 at Iowa State. That's pretty rare nowadays. Top prospects leaving for the draft before their senior year, or not starting very much as Freshmen sitting behind other star quarterbacks. With QB competition at the collegiate level being what it is, it's amazing to hold the starting slot that long. Served him well in command of the huddle. Holding teammates accountable, all that management stuff.

[@benjammin5252]

One thing to take into account is he just played a 4 interception game. He probably passed on some of those early opens when he saw the flashes of red coming, helps avoid ball deflections by d-line and he may remember how he got injured against the eagles. I think above all, he’s trying to only make throws when he knows he’s not about to be deflected or sacked.

[@ryanp4626]

great video! Will you do purdy in week 16? curious how much of the performance was him, the play calling or the line. great stuff!

[@andrewgalvin2616]

IMO on the last scramble drill play, if purdy tries to force it to Deebo it likely gets batted or tipped. The defender was right in the throwing lane. After the ravens game I can't fault purdy for not tempting fate there. However, it was pretty clear that the niners wanted to play a clean game vs a high scoring game given the opponent not being very dangerous. Hopefully this got Purdy his mojo and confidence back.

[@jonmattison3939]

Seeing all the trust/synergy between Purdy and Aiyuk over the weeks, it's a struggle to see trade rumors involving Aiyuk.

[@dubforce1996]

What are you talking about with trade rumors? Trade deadline was like 2 months ago.

[@RaoVenu]

@@dubforce1996 I guess he is talking about the fact that Aiyuk's rookie contract is winding down

[@googleisskynet7312]

@@dubforce1996 Pretty sure he's talking about an offseason trade. The Niners picked up Aiyuk's fifth-year option for 14 mil, so they technically have him for another year after this season. This gives the 49ers much less incentive to trade him, but it's still an option if he decides to hold out or if he wants more than the Niners are willing to pay him. They could trade him before the draft and get a 1st round pick probably.

[@Ishai1]

The trade rumors are only because people think the 49ers won't pay him. That ignores how many drafted WRs they went through that weren't anywhere near as good. It won't be easy to a replacement that can run routes like Aiyuk, get open like him, and block like he does, that won't cost them just as much as what they'll have to pay for him to stay. It's not that you can't find one, even in the draft, but it's a crapshoot.

They might if enough people talk about it 🤔 I don't know if that and player encouragement would be something to help challenge the ones who need it, to play every down full speed or not. Maybe Rice could or would join the staff as a part time camp\pre season offensive mentorivational consultant. Yeah I made up a compound word, and maybe a position. I have no idea whether Rice or the team would do anything like that.

[@tomtastic7806]

Great job of analyzing, JT. Pointing out Purdy's "fog" was world-class. Watching this was like watching a different ballgame. Like others here, I think he was being overly cautious after a dumpster-fire of a Raven's game. Time to get his confidence back, don't you think??

[@tristankrager9789]

End of the first half was PTSD from his first pick vs Baltimore...

[@benedictjephcote6815]

If the plan was for Purdy to play this game a bit extra safe, then he did well to do that. I noticed that some of the bigger plays in this game, that Brock elected not to take (or missed out on), would have had a slightly higher element of risk to them - so, maybe the plan was to 'if in doubt, play it safe' to help stay in good control ? Either way, it helped him bounce back well and he and they are holding the 2nd best record going into the last regular season game.

[@MAG-li5jo]

Brock Purdy for MVP!!!

[@GrumpyBob99]

I know this is late and will be buried/forgotten but this was absolutely a game where you could feel Purdy inching back to gain his confidence after the nightmare on Christmas. He flew too close to the sun, got a little too cocky with the ball and he paid for it against maybe the top defense in the NFL. This was a safe, get-right game for him - for better or worse. That Deebo look on 3rd down where he air mailed it to the corner for Aiyuk is the EXACT look he had on his first pick vs the Ravens in Q1. The one where he pulls up and checks down to Juice rather than take a shot to Aiyuk down field in the first quarter, is one of his first throws back from being benched the week before. Honestly if he went out there with the same Josh Allen-esque arm arrogance during this game after being broken against Baltimore, it might have been even more concerning. He got back to basics, back on the horse, and he delivered the dub and the resulting 1-seed (with help from the Cards). The kid is a gamer pure and simple. His super power is in his prep work and film. He's able to read defenses very quickly so that he can throw with that anticipation we've come to know and love from him. This is necessary to his success as a passer because he doesn't have the arm of a Manning or Mahomes. He's got the game IQ though. But if his rhythm is thrown off, that's where he struggles. It's those games that Kyle then needs to step in and jam 23 down the opponent's throats before the game gets outta hand. Purdy needs to figure out how to get his groove back and make that comeback. It's the one piece of film we have yet to see out of him. How can he respond to adversity, can he re-think approach mid-game? I'm very excited for the future of this team as this guy continues to learn and grow. He needs to avoid major injury, pick himself up after bad beats, and keep learning. He's got the book smarts, now he needs to work on his pivoting.

[@TreFaaborg]

The Deebo look from the 4 yard line, yes. Thought the same thing. That throw almost has to be alerted, look right, fire over the middle. Bang-bang. Else you have a sniffing safety (like Hamilton did) and a mega-tight window.

[@carlocity]

@theqbschool You need to do the breakdown on the 4 INT game.

[@markterrero5362]

Idk how keenly QBs are aware of the sticks, I'd assume very, but is it possible BP could see there wasn't enough depth on the deep sit, maybe as much as there should've been, and moved off of it?

[@wongfit]

The play around the 18min mark is probably done cuz he tried that against the Ravens on the first drive and threw the pick; this time he stayed with the corner to stay safe and not lose track of the other safety that could have closed the gap on Deebo's window. Again, on both plays if the in was the #1, that's a win.

[@On_The_Hook-JT]

Somebody recently asked Shanahan in a presser about that backfield motion JT doesn’t like with McCaffrey. He says he likes to see how defenses respond to it because it’s novel.

[@SF49ersfanatic]

7:25 totally agrees with you and i am anniyed that Deebo is doing that on a regular basis especially after Kyle told him during the offseason his 2022 play wasn’t up to par… 23:40 i love that decision by brock ! Vs a more athletic LB it is a pick 6. It was crowded so his impro was great

[@tonyseverance7321]

I saw Purdy not throwing with as much anticipation this week. I believe it had to do with the INTs the week before. Two of his 4 picks were from batted balls. This week I saw his foot work not as sure because I believe he was shifting to get into position to prevent his passes from being batted by the Defense.

[@nickfindsgold9788]

Hey JT, I would love to know where you think Purdy has improved his game as the season has progressed ? To my eye he has been the same player from his first start to now and Im not sure what that means in terms of development ? I would say Purdy is now the guy, if you have one pass that MUST be made and MUST be in rhythm and MUST fit in a tight window.... Purdy is the player every team would pick first to throw that pass .... that is his superpower, he doesnt win with WOW , he wins with consistent, accurate, smart throws that humble a defence

[@ColdbloodedJR]

The first play you talked about if it was no picks against ravens he would’ve waited and try to make that throw but he was trying to get that confidence back play by play

[@VeLATAYOave]

I'm with you JT on Deebo runnin' less than 100% on his routes where the ball is not coming to him. I've seen it a handful of times this year.

[@futbolfifa3709]

[@justinsugay1149]

Wow that first play you showed I can see how he turned down CMC wide open there. Perhaps a result of the Baltimore game, he said himself to get more first downs and not try to be a super hero but here that was a big turn down. He's developing still and perhaps he'll learn when to run vs gun better. He is also recovering from a stinger, perhaps that's affecting his accuracy a bit?

[@nolagale]

The only thing I would note, as an explanation more than an excuse, is that this was an early game on a short week. I felt like the imperfections of the first half were particularly a result of that. While it's true they knew that ahead of time, and it's not the first time they've had to do it, bodies are bodies and less rest means less precision.

[@meowmeow-en6iv]

Sincerely hope he'll be grinding these next 3 weeks and we see him at his peak in the playoffs.

[@kevinalan2028]

Part of Purdys greatness is his decisiveness. It’s better to just make a decision and go than to worry about absolute perfection every play. I know the film room is for pointing out the imperfections, but it should also be noted that he’s playing at the highest level No QB sees everything, what makes the greats great is their ability to stay on schedule

[@RDSports5]

Two questions real quick. Mind you, I'm an avid fan, I love studying the minutia of all of these plays and decisions, but by no means have I had any actual professional background in the game itself. 1. At 18:27. My question would be, wouldn't Purdy have to layer that throw over the safety's (#31 I believe) head in the end zone for Deebo to even have a shot at it while he's running behind him. Seems like a real tough throw to make, especially coming off the 4 INT performance last week, including the first one being in the red zone. 2. At 28:13. I totally get that Deebo is open for the first down there, that part makes sense. The thing I wonder about though is, there's 2-3 defenders ready to absolutely MAUL him as soon as he catches that ball. Meanwhile, he knows that Aiyuk is running that little corner, but if he can extend the play, he still has him one on one in the end zone, and thats ultimately what happened, and then resulted in an easy touchdown for Aiyuk Again, totally get the schematic reasoning for each play, and you outline it really well as to why one option makes more sense than the others, but I just had those two curiosities about those particular plays. Thanks JT, keep up the good work!

[@user-rt4ln5rw5u]

Yea the first one reminds me of Purdy's first pick against the Ravens. I think he'd have to throw it real early and hard before Deebo is out of his break--but it doesn't even look like Purdy was looking there.

[@BrysonMichaelRC]

I think the reporters are watching your breakdowns. Lol. I watched a press confrence a few weeks back and one asked about thay weird cmc side motion. All he said was 'it helps tell us what the defense is doing." Super vague. But when he asked i thought of your break downs

[@jsmcguireIII]

Purdy has ~2 seconds to see how the defense will give him another opportunity. It is an amazing thing to watch his vision and processing in real time.

[@stevenvox6549]

Why take chances when you are heavily favored? He's not playing for the Chargers

[@OptionZero]

Bottom of the screen on the first play - Deebo’s route looks bizzare, he’s shuffling/backpedaling to the sideline and nearly collides with another receiver. I think there was someone running the wrong route, which might have muddled the picture for Brock. It just looked off on that side

[@schizoidman7916]

Purdy is human. After a bad game, it's not surprising he played a little more tentative than usual. Having 3 weeks off, Purdy isn't going to just sit around. He will use the time wisely to improve himself.

[@ImakittyLAWL]

I feel like Brock played this game really safe. Didn't force too many passes and pick the safe passes. Maybe a confidence builder.

I've noticed his passing has been slightly off. I'm wondering if his footwork and throwing stance isn't as impeccable as it has been. Do you see a change in his footwork and throwing stance that could be a contributing factor for his off passes? Thank you.

[@tdpc45]

Excellent work bro. Niners for..

[@JonGreer]

I think on some of these missed opportunities 2 things are happening: 1. Purdy doesn’t trust his line to hold the pocket long enough so he reads super quick and then gets it out to the first yes before the pocket collapses on him 2. I think he literally may not be seeing some of these opens because the linemen are blocking his vision.

[@tux1313]

Nice new intro

[@Leovold]

@28:00 Purdy had 3 passes batted at the line the week before, i think he wasn't willing to risk it after seeing his lineman beat.

[@mikev4373]

On the first play you evaluated did you not see the left DE? He took off for a reason

[@chedbeckford8067]

we need that Jordan Love analysis man

[@chriso847]

I think the game against the ravens have made him a little bit cautious. Maybe not a bad thing. Like many others have said he’s just figuring out the balance between aggression and caution.

[@Mad2k7]

I hate that game had such an affect on him but yeah even this late in the season you have to learn, take a sack, live to play another day. He doesnt have to be the reason they win, he just cant be the reason they lose like against the Ravens

[@BeingButterfly]

@@Mad2k7 Better he learn this now rather than in a playoff game or the Super Bowl. Sometimes when "bad things" happen they're actually a "good thing" is disguise.

[@machgt]

That last play is exactly how kyle drew it up right?

[@sheevpalpatine2524]

At 17:00 where youre saying throw to deebo, that safety is right where he threw the pick in the ravens game, i think he doesnt trust himself to throw that

[@YeahIAmHim]

Love when JT sneak disses Kyle J for being Kyle Shanahan Cabo buddy 😂😂😂😂

[@agregs30]

Just a smidge behind on a lots of plays but still good enough. Says more about our expections of him than anything else. Looks like he will be sitting the final regular season game and then getting another week off as the 1 seed going into the playoffs. Will this help or hurt him? Im hoping he can clean of that speck of mud because that can be the difference in the playoffs. Excited to see what happens

[@gregleonguerrero1791]

I wonder if he is holding the ball a little bit longer after a bad day against Ravens?

[@mattiej2311]

We want the purdy week 16 analysis

[@andrewgalvin2616]

its on his patreon

[@joshuajeter]

7:50 “He’s settin him up”

[@Cubey15]

“He can fit that into Deebo” Yeh … he probably can … but he’s coming of a 4 INT game! 😂 I think it’s reasonable to expect him to throttle down a bit and be careful throwing into heavy traffic over the middle after all those tips.

[@thatguy66199]

Man I remember offseason like '08 or '09 Adam Shefter reporting that the niners were liking an unknown QB in camp and he'd likely be the starter. JT O'Sullivan and I'm like who? I thought you were a savvy QB.

[@herik2073]

JT wasnt a good QB

[@koolpapiadam]

Yeah I watched every snap of him at AB for the niners and homie made it miserable to watch. Granted the team was ass too but he wasn’t a net positive in his own right

[@truman4956]

I wonder what is said in the WR film room to Deebo

[@davidg6718]

You could see Purdy with more hesitation and a cloudy mind from his struggles against the Ravens. I agree with Steve Young he should play the 1st half against the Rams Sunday.

[@BeingButterfly]

Why do fans assume because Brock Purdy is being less impulsive and is being more disciplined that he's scared or cautious? He's been playing football since he was 5 years old. I doubt he's scared. More like he's trying to break bad habits.

[@FESpecialties]

On a second note: the fact that the O line is not giving Brock an extra 1/2 second of protection, inhibits Brock’s timing on finding the second or third open receiver!! THE O LINE NEEDS TO STEP UP!!!

[@Hitman1978]

I love how you call out Deebo (with cause)...just wish his coaches would too!

[@Toyota-Moe]

@the qb school Do you think Purdy's performance against the Ravens contributed to some of the cloudy decisions he made against Washington?

[@sacpike]

You would think by now that Deebo would have been talked to by his teammates. His effort on plays where he doesn't expect the ball is disappointing. Also, I wonder if Purdy is still feeling the rush from last week against the Ravens. Trent Williams aside, his o-line against the Ravens was in his lap all game.

[@Aaron-fb1pq]

3rd and 10 on the TD.. Purdy wasn't settling for a field goal, hence not going to Deebo. I think he made the right call, if this was an incompletion they were in range anyways might as well go for the 1st down option.

[@markmadlena8845]

I noticed he’s off as well. Not always throwing tight spirals. Passed but behind. I hope he fixes this with some rest.

[@toYOder]

Im a deebo fan and i have to agree with your opinion. I feel like he isnt bought into the play if he isnt the play. He needs to set himself up as a better decoy. He just aint selling the decoy and the defense aint buying at that level of effort. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@patrickbaklava7297]

Shanahans dopple ganger breaking down Purdy film i love it

[@TheQBSchool]

new to channel

[@patrickbaklava7297]

Is that a bad thing? Should i see myself out ​@@TheQBSchool

[@jsmcguireIII]

Breaking it down against the skins defense shows perfectly how it's supposed to work.

[@JorgeMartinez-oz5hc]

I’m waiting for that Jordan Love video

[@user-ft5vq1ki9y]

Do an analysis of Sam darnold as a replacement for Brock. It would be interesting to see the difference in how they operate and how kyle calls plays for Sam vs Brock.

[@sportsguy1002]

For some reason people are convinced that Lamar deserves the MVP over Purdy even though Purdy has had a better season. Even Dak has been better. I just don't get it.

[@deshondrehigginbotham506]

It’s the most valuable player of December award

[@davidaustad7798]

I like to say that I’m patient about week 18 analysis but I’m not so what’s the deal

[@LoanwordEggcorn]

Frankly, I'm more interested in your take on Brock's play against the Ravens. On the first pick, the defender hid behind another defender and mimicked his moves, making him hard to see. A classic play. The others were tips by Kittle or defenders. Defenders were in passing lanes so at least some of that is on Kyle for play design. And Brock was trying too hard instead of working through the progressions, after the first pick.

[@antoinemalouf]

Hopefully deebo hears your critique before playoffs

[@midnightz317]

I already can see the comments of people talking shit about that pass around 22:00.

[@theaverageDon]

29:23 tipped ball for an interception or incompletion from the Baltimore game, that is what Purdy is thinking here instead of ripping it to Deebo

[@seichho73]

All things considered, Brock was most likely playing super safe (for him) and may have some arm fatigue at this point of year. Longest stretch of games he has ever played in one season.. So, some rest and distance from the Ravens game will do him justice.

[@Mike__B]

I wonder if receivers don't got 100% just so they have gas in the tank for the whole game. I remember something Kendrick Bourne said back when we had Emmanuel Sanders as a receiver, he said that Sanders taught him how to play WR and last more than 3 or 4 plays. I mean yeah you can hit the cardio in the gym but also not every play needs to go 100% either.

[@jpapp288]

Any chance you could take a look at Jarrett Stidham's game against the Chargers?
