49ers Playbook: Shanahan and Purdy - striking GOLD together

[@PURDYGOOD79]

Man this team is something special. The offense is playing lights out and the defense is smothering teams. Jimmy G done some good for the niners but Purdy has unlocked the entire playbook.

[@jonnydel]

The way he's seeing the field is a joy to watch

Loved the heavy dose of Mason in the run game to give CMC a break this week. 18:18 - not only is Purdy making high level plays look routine, he's also casually one handing bad snaps, then making the high level play.

[@jonnydel]

[@astrostar49]

This was a masterful performance by Glock13. He looks VERY comfortable in Kyle's offense, and definitely should be in consideration for the MVP award. BTW, Jordan Mason looks like another Marshawn Lynch when he runs the football. A lot of authority when tacklers try to bring him down. Can't wait for the video spotlighting the defense. Gonna watch this game in full once more, because of how special the victory was for the franchise. Cheers.

[@jeffwilliams1356]

Aiyuk is becoming so much like Larry Fitzgerald with his catch radius, toughness, ability to get open against anyone and most of all, with his burning desire to win, no matter how much work it takes.

[@jonnydel]

I'm so proud of that guy, he's taking massive steps the last 10-12 months

[@stillmattwest]

[@Jimmeh417]

I still keep seeing people talking about "dink and dunk" with Purdy; that first TD was 30 yards in the air, perfectly placed, while on the run. This dude is just lights out.

[@jonnydel]

Yeah, some people stick to things no matter what

[@SteefPip]

My favorite thing about a game that had so many things to love was how good Lenoir and Oliver were. They've been picked out as one of the weaknesses of the team, and Lamb kept getting favorable matchups but kept getting shut down.

[@jonnydel]

Lenoire has been real solid going back to last year. Oliver was superb in this game. The one TD that was given up, he was in a real tough spot

Fun detail on the Juan catch: the snap is wide right. Purdy just casually reaches down and grabs the ball with one hand and immediately has his eyes upfield to continue picking apart the Dallas defense.

[@jonnydel]

[@pendragon8522]

I really like that block by McKivitz on CMC's short TD run. DeMarcus knows its a run inside, and he gets leverage, but Colton just drives him all the way across the face of the play and into the ground. Heckuva game from the right side of the line, both of whom are very good run blockers, but today were able to handle a lot of Micah and Lawrence on the pass too.

[@jonnydel]

McKivitz has been awesome this year. Especially because he costs around 16 mil less than McGlinchey

[@LoanwordEggcorn]

The offensive blocking schemes in this game were really good. Micah was getting chipped twice much of the time, for example.

[@debsreno911]

[@jonnydel]

[@Wolfeson28]

The interesting thing about the run game was, Dallas actually did a really good job preventing any big plays there. We didn't have a single run (by a RB) longer than 8 yards until Mason got that long TD at the end. Nonetheless, we were still getting solid production running the ball, preventing Dallas from shutting the run down despite all the attention they were giving it, and all that attention they put on the run helped create the windows Purdy exploited. Plus the physical beating the runs kept delivering. Man Purdy and this offense are fun to watch! Can't wait for the defense video tomorrow - time for All-Pro Fred to get his spotlight. :)

[@mortemvenientem8147]

Now im really looking forwad to the defensive breakdown. Idk what it is, definitely a mix of a lot of things, but from this game it feels like the niners on both sides of the ball of unleashed the potential thats been locked up for years all at once. With this, now comes the hope they keep the steam rolling through each opponent all the way to the big bowl. I keed to see my first 49ers lumbardi since my birth (96, i aint too young 🤣) and this is the roster, the team, and the drive to do it! Love the breakdowns man, you truly stand out above the others i watch!

[@jonnydel]

This really feels like a team that might be the most talented on both sides of the ball

[@rsplines12]

Great analysis. Watching the tape over and over you truly get a much better perspective on how the throwing game is working. The way he is throwing guys open reminds me of Coryell/Zampesi offenses under Fouts/Warner. Brock doesn't have the same arm strength they had but he's always in throwing position. No shuffling of feet needed like most QBs. Cleveland should be a good test as Schwartz's creative blitzes and man to man coverage are more sophisticated than what the Giants did. Imagine Shanahan/Purdy are watching a ton of tape (even 5 year old Philly defense). If they can't run the ball, look for lots of hits on Brock and maybe an interception.

[@jonnydel]

Oh man, a Coryell reference. Love it

[@davet766]

Congrats on hitting 20k. Per usual best analysis on the net.

[@jonnydel]

[@49erfanoz]

20:17 Y'all ever seen someone block a mf'er with another mf'er?😂😂 Great stuff as always giving Purdy his due credit .Dude is amazing. Awesome start to the season. The 49ers look like a completely different animal this year with Purdy dealing like that

[@jonnydel]

They really do

[@JoseLopez-xz8rp]

I think thats the play where Vander Esch hurt his neck. This team is different.

[@WinkyPinkerton]

15:28 #6 was still turning his head looking for the ball when Kittle was already celebrating his 3 piece chicken tendy. What an absolute clinic by Shanahan and the offense.

[@Mike__B]

One thing that was very surprising to me was the number of times that Micah Parsons lined up over Trent Williams, was that a choice of his? was that Dan Quinn's "genius" doing? did he try to live up to the "I'm as good as Lawrence Taylor" hype? Either way I was pleasantly surprised with how well McKivitz did when Parsons did move over him, granted he didn't work him like TW did but he held his own long enough for Purdy to work his magic.

[@jonnydel]

A little of all of it. Some of it was where George Kittle wasn't to avoid double teams and chips

[@xavierchen7054]

I had a hard time finding Micah, where does he show up in the video? .......Joking aside, I think they're moving him around because they're searching for weaknesses since it's the 49ers game plan to shift protection to his location. They even had a chip block from Kittle when he was on Trent on one the plays.

[@maxb1985]

I watched the whole game. I didn't think parsons played!

[@Wolfeson28]

At some point, if you're going to be an elite player (which I think we have to acknowledge Parsons is, normally), you have to be willing to take on the other team's elite player and try to win that matchup. In this case, Trent and co. did a great job of shutting him down (which we all gleefully enjoyed 😁), but how many times has Parsons beaten other teams' best tackles to mess up their game plans?

[@timheaney6690]

@13:50 to 14:55 is Dead-on, Brock's ability 2 process the "Tampa 28" and hit the pass precisely timed is sooo impressive for a 2nd year QB. Usually it's guys out of position on hitch routes or some such that 2nd year guys R hitting. I mean that Tampa 28 coverage looked like a mess when it was live, and only looked slightly easier on ur replay. That's WOW level stuff. Nice analysis. Quinn was clearly throwing the entire book at Purdy and he handled it with an A+. Imagine Quinn's frustration.

[@famousamoso7]

I love the throws with anticipation to a spot where the receivers are not even out of their cuts. This is what separates Purdy from the others. Many throws are like that and as a defense it makes it impossible to stop. Hes not just throwing to a wide open receiver, he knows exactly where/when he will be open and times his throws perfectly to match. This is something that can only be learned through experience.

[@cheehee808_]

As much as I love and respect jimmy, I can honestly say that I have never seen anyone else run this offense as smoothly as Brock. Dude is cool as hell at all times, knows exactly where the ball needs to go and has the touch, accuracy and anticipation to put it there. Have yet to see a moment where he even looked slightly rattled or shook. It’s remarkable really

[@timheaney6690]

@11:50: That throw by Puirdy, with a man in his face coming from his left, and his getting the ball just inches over VenDerEsche and into Aiyuk's arms, in stride, was TOTALLY next level. Great and PRECISE route by Aiyuk too. Shows Purdy's growth. That IS a throw we've seen similar to Jimmy G. BUT, as we saw by his performance last night vs the Packers, (Jimmy G. getting INTERCEPTED), Brock MAKING those throws, and NO turnovers. BTW, Johnny Del, would LOVE 2 C U do a breakdown of Jimmy's interception, it looked like he had Davante CLEARLY open BEHIND the double coverage, Admas beat his guy by a step or two, which Jimmy threw that "far-to-Easy" pick to Green Bay. Really looked like a horrible read from a veteran QB.

[@jonnydel]

Purdy's ball security has been a huge reason the 49ers are 13-0 when he actually can throw the ball. As far as Jimmy, mentally I've moved on. I love Jimmy. We celebrated a ton of victory Mondays with him. I really don't like the design of McDaniels's offense.

Bravo JDFA! Another top shelf breakdown. I really love these. I don't think any other fan base has this for their favorite team. Giants play zero and bring nearly the whole house, Cardinals play with a 3 man rush or four man rush, same with Dallas, or you face all world TJ, or all world Aaron Donald. None of these strategies or all world talent can stop the Niners. How do you beat the Niners? Also I love the subtle left had setup Brock occasionally shows coming out of PA. Maybe it messes with the DB's eyes? I almost thought that TD to Juice was the same play as Brock's first TD pass last season against the Dolphins but it was different.

Wish there was a sideline view with a picture in picture of the play, it's always funny to see Shanahan watching the play unfold but then show no emotion as he looks back to his playbook, but more importantly seeing the opposing sideline just get their souls ripped out of them play after play after big play.

[@jonnydel]

Sometimes you'll see him cheer and fist pump when a big play happens - from the all-22. Other times it's just a reaction that things happened just as they were supposed to and on to the next play

[@katstone780]

Thank you for the breakdown this week and for including that awesome pass to Aiyuk that is now sadly excluded from the highlights due the holding call. I was hoping you'd include the short pass to CMC with the helmet-to-helmet penalty to see if Purdy had other options available and if he could've avoided what looked to be a dangerous play. Hope you don't mind me asking but have you noticed any other dangerous plays aside from that roughness penalty to CMC this game? A fan I was talking to yesterday said Purdy has put his receivers in harm's way a lot in the last 5 games and I've never thought that at all so now I'm wondering if I missed some things

Something Steph had pointed out and somewhere it was mentioned that Brock seems to have taken him getting injured upon himself.

Hey Jonny, why do we get in some many compressed sets with such tight splits? Doesn’t this make it harder to see what coverage the defense is in and brings more people to the play?

It's about setting up the run game. We run so many toss cracks that the defense always has to be on alert for those and that will usually causes wider alignment from the 2nd level

[@PaulGaither]

"Defenses are going to figure Purdy out" Meanwhile, Purdy is busy figuring out defenses.

[@Wolfeson28]

2:02 I'm sorry, but I just cannot stop laughing at the coverage call on that first play every time I watch it. Because of where they are on the field, the emblem corresponds almost perfectly to the Niners' favorite area to target with passes - up to ~15 yards down the middle. There's literally a *giant red circle* screaming "prime Niners' passing real estate right here"...and the Cowboys defenders all bail out of there like it's made of lava. What on earth they were thinking calling cover-4 there, with no one assigned to drive on something over the middle in front of them, I have no idea. I mean, even watching it live. As soon as I saw Kearse shifting way out wide with Juice, I immediately thought, "Um...where are you going? The whole middle is wide open, all Aiyuk has to do is - ya, that."🤣

Brock "Boy Wonder" Purdy is the name.

It's a little early. The only thing I saw from Warner is that he needs to work on ball security after a pick... first world problems =)

[@jonnydel]

That's the state of the niners right now, first worls probs

[@PlaySA]

Kearse really got picked on. Hadn't realized that rewatching the game, so many of their best plays were built around fooling him and taking advantage

[@OptionZero]

I have watched your and other breakdowns of last year’s playoff game - it was a total slog, with Dan Quinn’s defense ready for much of why Kyle tried to do and Brock mainly in damage control mode. Just a short while later, Kyle seems to have figured out Wuinn’s defense and Brock looks utterly unfazed by this vaunted defense. It;s such a stark contrast, the offense looked like it barely felt Dallas. I think it was JTO who pointed this out- Brock bizarrely drops back in a left handed stance seemingly often and then is asked to flip and throw right. Is there a way to track this?it seems insanely hard but Brock just…does it nonchalantly.

[@jonnydel]

I think once they figured out he could do it, they're gonna use that tool in the toolbox

The Browns are next. They already got their bye week, they watched the game against Dallas where the 49ers put the Cowgirls through the toughest L in history. If I'm the Browns I'm watching the tape. And putting my best defensive player everywhere on the field. If I'm the Niners. I'm watching the tape on the Browns and getting to Cleveland's head before the game maybe this what Kyle does.

[@jonnydel]

I watched the Browns/Ravens game. The hard part will be exploiting the LB's in the play-action game while simultaneously protecting the edges

@@jonnydel niners has too many skilled players

[@kevinalan2028]

Brock defiantly helps with the yac but I can’t call it a QB stat after watching Jimmy and Alex. Very meh QBs that benefited with a lot of yac through talent and scheme

[@jonnydel]

But you also can't say that those plays happen without pinpoint timing. Alex and Jimmy put together some real strong seasons.

[@kevinalan2028]

@@jonnydel For sure but there’s also plays like Deebo against the rams jumping up and snagging a bad pass and taking it to the house. It’s definitely not all QB Theres a difference with Brock. All three have been surrounded by a lot of talent and coaching, only one has run a historical juggernaut of an offense. Moving the ball and scoring pints is like pulling teeth in Alex/Jimmy led offenses. Brock actually processes and uses the whole field
