Brock Purdy Week 15 2023 Analysis

[@stuartwexler8215]

Both Deebo and Kyle said that the idea on the TD was for Deebo to slow down at the snap so that it looked liked he wasn’t doing anything. Deebo specifically said that Kyle predicted it would be wide open. So 5D chess.

[@thealphabetsong4585]

Genius

[@shect1]

As we've seen on this channel in pretty much every Purdy video, Deebo doesn't go 100% when he's not getting the ball, so it makes sense the defense would assume he's not part of the play if he's jogging to the sideline like that

[@JesseMcConnell04]

Yep, thought it was pretty obvious how it fooled the defense.

[@Jburg15]

That play was nuts! Haven’t seen someone that open maybe ever.

[@terrythegnome2408]

yep definitely intentional. At least they said it was.

[@zaskarclf]

LOL the irony. The one thing JT gets upset about Deebo being lazy sometimes when Deebo knows its not going to him, Kyle uses it against the other team, cuz the other team watches film too. Genius! 🤣😂

[@jobturkey7418]

What if Deebos laziness was all to set up this one play

[@russ2120]

@@jobturkey7418 Lol that seems like Arthur Smith level of overthinking. We probably could have benefitted from Deebo hustling on the other plays.

[@partyfists]

I agree with JT though that that approach may work against the 3-win cardinals, but will it work against the Ravens? It seems to me designing plays where your player is lazy isn’t what you might want to optimize for in your play design.

[@ShaunHensley]

Yeah that’s making lemons out of lemonade for sure, my guy. Against the Seahawks Purdy threw it to Deebo on a clearout route and Deebo admitted he had to kick it in gear to catch a TD pass he wasn’t expecting to go his way. THAT’S Purdy’s genius in making defenders respect the threat even when Deebo isn’t selling the route AND a message to Deebo too. Brock’s playing chess as well.

[@Ishai1]

@@jobturkey7418they wouldn't waste that on Arizona, but defenses now can't assume Deebo isn't part of the play when he's not going 100%, so Deebo can save his strength and still be a decoy

[@johnlind5819]

What I continue to learn from the all-22: (1) Purdy plays at a very high level with below average PassPro and doesn't get credit for overcoming this team deficiency; (2) Aiyuk is REALLY underrated; and (3) Purdy has quickly, 1-by-1, developed great chemistry with all/each of his playmakers. ....

[@sethfrancis7733]

Absolutely fantastic comment

[@partyfists]

As a 49er fan I love these videos because it’s really balanced coverage of Brock. To me, what I have learned is that despite him playing great, he still has more to learn. It’s only his second year and I hope he’ll continue to grow and learn and make more big plays. They’re on the film so hopefully he’ll use that to improve.

[@theresidentweedman3963]

This...

[@jaredhamilton2846]

That’s what makes me so excited for him, he’s still learning, he’s already so good at reading defenses, imagine when he’s had a few years.

[@partyfists]

@@jaredhamilton2846 he’s the perfect QB for Shanahan IMO. Enough mobility to create plays, confidence to throw with anticipation, ability to read defenses. I just hope we can keep him healthy.

[@jonnelson602]

Literally the only reasonable take I've ever heard about Brock

[@brianschwartz7937]

This is exactly why I don't worry about Brock. We've had plenty of QB's come through here over the past 2 decades with varying degrees of arm strength, size, and foot speed. What we haven't had is someone who can read defenses this well and so consistently fire precision passes on time, with anticipation, and without the extra hesitation that leads to sacks or rushing throws that leads to interceptions. He is hitting the intermediate range tosses with more accuracy and consistency than any other 49er QB since at least Jeff Garcia, and he's only in his 2nd year (and first full year as starter). The comfort and timing and recognition of those deep passes can be learned, and arm strength (+5 yds or so) can easily be developed as he matures into his late 20's & 30's. Long term, I feel MUCH more confident in Brock Purdy's ability to learn how to identify and hit those deeper routes over the next 2-3 seasons (and without a bunch of INT's along the way) than I do in Jimmy G's or Trey's ability to learn over the next 2-3 seasons how to consistently throw an accurate 15-yd pass with into coverage, with anticipation, under pressure (without a bunch of INT's).

Aiyuk’s transformation has been crazy. His route running and his blocking have developed him into an elite WR (and the grades match the eye test, with an elite 92.0 PFF grade). He’s a legit top 10 WR.

[@PaulGaither]

I wouldn't all it development. For example, go watch the breakdowns from 2021 - including the Rams NFCC game. Man has been roasting defenders for years. The problem is that Jimmy was not good at throwing deeper shots (high ankle and other mechanical problems) and wouldn't pull the trigger on passes to Brandon down field. In 2022, many people had high hopes that Lance would allow Aiyuk to finally feast because we all knew what #11 was doing out there on film for years. Well, Brock is finally feeding our guy.

Deebo just said during Kay Adams show that they ran it a few times in practice and he was wide open. Lol JTO just hates Deebo. My dude plays 2 roles(wr/rb) every game and gets trashed on for maybe going 85% every once in a while. Love JTO's breakdown but dude has some weird takes. Not taking it personal but JTO complains about throws he could never make and most QB's wouldn't risk taking and I watched every snap JTO has played as a niner before anyone gets pissed. He should know how hard those are. The ones that he is upset at that really get me going are the ones where he is upset because Purdy didn't hold the ball longer for the next read. Every QB goes through progressions and lets it fly to the read that is open in order of the play call. If a QB holds the ball to try and chuck it to the their 3rd or 4th read in case they get open are going to get chewed out for not taking the read that was open prior. JTO if you see this, maybe watch a little more post game interviews before you break down a game. You're hurting your own reputation when you say some of the things you say.

I'm sure you know that he's still learning and developing as a QB. It's scary to think that he's probably going to be the NFL MVP and very well the Super Bowl MVP at the age of 23!

Obviously opposing teams think the same as JT: that Deebo doesn't run when it's not his play. So Kyle had him deke them. They all immediately said that was the design of the play. The result was everyone over-commited to the run andDeebo was left unguarded.

[@schizoidman7916]

Another thing about it is that now that teams know about the decoy, they will cover Deebo more closely when he does go out slower in the future, opening up the other playmakers more. Running routes on the football field is tiring. Reserving your strength for the plays where you are going to be getting the ball is not all bad.

[@stanvidgg]

In a way Deebo’s “gears” make him even harder to guard because he can accelerate so quickly, he just runs away from people and scores TDs.

[@exriel]

There's definitely some intentional trickery in this offense, but whether or not that would be more or less effective than simply running the plays at 110% is hard to say. One of the fair criticisms of Kyle throughout his coaching career is that he can sometimes act a little too clever for his own good.

[@Matuse]

McCaffrey was on MNF with the Mannings, and he said that on that wide open play, he was turned around because he thought Purdy had been sacked and the play was over, so that's why he was facing the wrong way to catch it in stride.

[@DudeTastic13]

I only have 1 comment. That last TD back shoulder to Deebo, I recognized that play. If you look at JTO's week 13 Analysis, SF@PHI, timestamp is 27:15 ... that was a quick out route to Jennings, and he broke it for a TD. On this play, AZ did not blitz, so Purdy had enough time for that route to develop to the pilon. On that Philly play, it was cover 0 all out blitz, so Purdy chose the quickest out. Put those 2 plays side by side, (and you'll also see Kittle sit in the middle 10 yards down field, Aiyuk up top, CMC helped block on the cover 0 Philly blitz, where as CMC went out to the flat b/c AZ wasn't blitzing), and you can see the greatness of this team. They do exactly what they are supposed to do. The O line holding up, the receiver routes, the QB read. It's such a treat to watch this team play, and score on the same exact play with a different read and a different receiver.

Love your takes JT. Think you’d be a great addition to any coaching staff. I’ve been commenting we haven’t yet seen Purdy’s ceiling because his learning is so steep. I now think we’re reaching his ceiling because he Iterally has little room to grow. We are at Manning, Rogers, Montana peak levels already. He needs to show he can do it season after season, but for right now, he’s the #1QB.

[@fpsoftdev]

I thought Drew Brees improved his "arm strength" over the course of his career. Do you think Purdy can do that with improved mechanics or something? It does seem like he could add just a bit more downfield throwing to his game to really put himself as one of the best.

[@mrgrimreaper94]

Already has bro, Purdy has thrown the most deep completed passes 20 + and 40 + passes in the NFL this season

[@katstone780]

Seems the exercises he is doing for his arm recovery increases his arm strength a little

[@schizoidman7916]

Read a comment elsewhere that said that on both the McCaffery TD where he backpedaled and the Aiyuk where he let the ball go over his head, they had trouble picking up the ball in the sky. The roof was open for the game.

[@IUse2haveALife]

Awesome breakdown sir

[@jeremyturner4402]

JT thanks for your criticality in these videos. Most media that covers the 49ers just can't be critical or else they lose their access. But I love that even the most critical are the fringe points. They get it right enough of the time and they are successful. Anyway, thanks again for your videos.

[@garthfarkley]

As I recall the helmet to helmet hit on BP was 15 yds

[@parrettgost]

The fact they had more imperfections than normal this week and the offense still put up 38 points is hilarious

[@brennanspark]

Brock Purdy keeps dealing and so do you! 👏

[@swapsti]

was not a purdy believer at the beginning of the season, thinking he was just another guy, but the production so far this season has changed my mind fs

[@mandarinandthetenrings2201]

He is just like Joe Montana. He very cool under pressure and he doesn't let talking heads get to him.

[@jamesnelson8469]

I just don’t understand how people could watch all the games last year and not see he’s not your average joe.

[@gibster9624]

Purdy even screamed on that first play, knowing he should have had it. That heel click doesn't always get you, but it often does. Can't always be perfect.

[@slowmobius2136]

They’ll correct the mistakes. I like the fact that they’re still putting up numbers, but there’s still opportunities left out there. Always improve

[@kmarasin]

At 17:32, you need to point out that Cardinals dropped 9 into coverage and the middle of the field is full of defenders. Purdy's instincts tell him not to throw there, regardless of whether the guy is actually open, because he's worried he's not seeing something. That's the key to Purdy's off-schedule plays: he not only does it when his coverage breaks down, but when the opponent throws a weird look at him. He instinctively knows they're trying to set a trap for him, so he evades the trap by doing something they can't possibly plan for.

[@christiane.2232]

9:45 I think even kittle was available for a pass too, but hopefully purdy sees film and realizes hes got these deep pass options just throw it!

[@S2Global]

CMC said he was peddling because he didn't see brock, and though it was a sack, but then he saw the ball in the air. He said it on the MNF with the Peytons.

[@flatplaneoregon4605]

On that 3rd or 4th read Lazer to CMC for a TD. If you can zoom from the endzone angle on Brock's face, I was hoping you would comment on his wry low key smile as he pulls the trigger, because his eyes lingered on Deebo a tick long enough to make CMC's defender hesitate just enough. As much as he has learned and as nuanced as his game is, he is still only 23.5 w\a seasons worth of games and he's gonna make those decisions and plays you point out eventually and more consistently and thankfully he'll hopefully only have to throw those midrange stick outs a couple of times a game at most. Because they're both so crisp, I'd just like to see Aiyuk turn that out into an up with a double move when the db bites for the pick 6 try. Make it so Brocktana..and yell "Aiyuken" when you let it go lolol.

[@ajl278]

When I saw Deebo's TD in real time I couldn't help but think of all the comments you've made on 19 not going full out on all his routes and felt like it finally paid off! Was excited to hear your commentary. lmao😂

[@madikay822]

lol @ that pass pro on the reception to juice. lol.

[@airfiero4772]

With Purdy being *this good* I really look forward to JT's videos!

[@shmitzysays]

Yeah, they did in fact confirm that he was supposed to look lazy there. If you think about it, they’re just taking advantage of the things you’ve been talking about. Surely other teams are seeing Deebo’s route running when he’s not getting the ball as much as you are, so for the Niners to exploit that on that play is super smart but it’s not shocking.

[@imadubsfan1]

Like others said, Deebo's touchdown was designed with laziness in mind lol. What's even funnier? Had Deebo not been open it looks like beneath him Aiyuk was pretty wide open too! Just not as wide open. Great design all around.

[@JudahMirvish]

My immediate thought in real time on that Deebo TD was that he'd get called out on QB School for jogging so slowly, and then wondering if he was starting to play into that trope so that he'd come across to the defense as an "obvious decoy." I don't know either way, but it is funny to see all of that playing out now

[@richardt.1119]

Very interesting, thanks

[@jaleru]

5:09 I know Deebo said the purpose of that route was to be lazy and run it half speed, but If you notice he does that on a lot of routes where he's suppose to clear or is the last in the progression. I'm gonna doubt he's supposed to run all of them at half speed. So I totally see where JT is coming from.

[@dsl32]

I look foward to your videos

[@jurassicturtle3666]

I do appreciate the criticism. It's founded and it's constructive. And it's important to remember that overconfidence gave the 9ers a 3 game loss streak. Can't afford that in January

[@LetsGoEvan]

6:23 I don't know why but I busted out laughing at the "5D Chess" line 😂🤣🤣

[@gmoeteeman7660]

Then Ayuk analysis at min 28:05 was commented on during the game as Ayuk loosing sight of the ball due to the open stadium roof -- Ayuk lost sight of it against the sky according to the game comment.

[@TheQBSchool]

interesting. i don't know what 11 saw. cool that they do. commentary seems like a tough gig

[@slowmobius2136]

I love Brock purdy

[@TheRDRipley]

My guess on why he turns down the deep out is the same thing thay makes him great. He plays with anticipation and a clock in his head. We'll see how that evolves as he continues to play

[@nathanchildress5596]

I'd never come at you sideways JT. If anything it makes me excited to see how much better the Niners & Brock can be even though they're ripping through teams.
