This is the content i should be watching instead of sports talk. Actual analysis instead of biased narratives is such a breath of fresh air. So glad I found this channel.
It’s funny how as a kid I was only able to get this analysis from big stations like ESPN, and everything else was outsider fluff. Now it’s flipped - the independent channels provide real analysis, whilst national coverage provides the fluff.
@@Zoze13 - My favorite analysis show growing up was Edge NFL Matchup. They would do this kind of breakdown of routes, tendencies, and analyzing the A-22 footage. Better than any other show. The only downside was that they would spread their focus across the league, so it was usually only a play or two each on the offensive and defensive side of the ball, and they would do it for both teams in a game, and then they would do many of the games. The analysis was great, but seeing as I only really cared about the 49ers and maybe the opponent, it wasn't enough with just the play or two. Which is why I loved playoff time because they would spend more time on just the remaining teams, and instead of one show early Sunday during the reg season, they would do a full hour show on both Sat morning & Sun morning, essentially giving a half hour preview to each playoff matchup.....and longer for Super Bowl. I love that JT now does this at 30-60 mins for basically each team every week.
The way I look at it, it’s just pure entertainment, not for actual facts. The “analysts” that they call analysts, they are paid to be controversial, and it seems like in the last 20 years or so, the worst take you have, the better. People/fanbases come back to watch who they hate, knowing their take will be bad/biased, and then other fans will come back to watch their guy that they usually agree with. These guys all know the narratives out there, they have people going through comment threads, holding opinion polls and figuring out the hottest topics in sports, so when they write up their segment, they’re already calculating the kind of ratings they’ll have, especially after a big game. These smaller more informative and educational CZcams channels are nothing like the talking head shows. These are deep dive analysis from guys that actually really know football. Nick Wright sits around and talks about basketball and football, but he doesn’t know the sports as well as he thinks he knows. He watches a few games, looks at the box score with a strong bias, and then comes up with the worst take he can think of, or the most controversial one, knowing he’ll piss off a whole fanbase, and that’s the entire point.
If it was Trey Lance with the same stats and win as Brock Purdy for the Niners. All Black analyst would be saying hes next QB of the future, the same thing they are saying of Jordan Love on steroids for Lance.... @TheQBSchool
Kittle said that Prudy yelled at Ray Ray McCloud #3 for blowing his route and that seemed to wake the whole team up and them clicking. Kittle said that he knew then that Brock had this and that they were going to do it.
Listen it's only fair. The Pack and Favre broke my heart NUMEROUS times as a kid. I hate to say it but I'm sure Love will get the best of us sooner rather than later. Not looking forward to it
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Now you know how we 49ers fans felt in the Favre years! My son was delivered four days after the Packers beat the 49ers in the Jan 1996 playoffs, by a doctor who walked in wearing a Packers sweatshirt!
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?"🤣
Probably not in the cards this year.....Lions they are rightfully favored, but their defense cannot be favored vs the 2 AFC teams and either QB left. Earlier in the season I thought the Offense was up for the challenge, but I don't see it vs the Ravens or Chiefs - both of those defenses are too much for this mediocre O-Line. It doesn't help that Shanahan is a proven awful clock manager. Mobile QBs absolutely destroy the 49ers. Goff ok, check - not too scary, but forget Mahomes or Jackson.
I would draft secondary equally as much....in fact pick 4 of each. I wouldn't mind them trading up for the 2nd or 3rd best rated corner in the draft. Lenior and Thomas just are not it - average to below-average looking players. Reminding me of Witherspoon several seasons back. 49ers hasn't had a 2nd good corner since Mosley's ultra-rotten luck on that gawd-awful turf.
@@pcucsd Honestly, Lenoir has been good-to-excellent in the slot, and he had a really good game in this one. Thomas has also been solid at times, but unquestionably too inconsistent, and his bad days have been, well...this.

At the 20:00, we see Aiyuk coming open, but that's only after Purdy went underneath with CMC and the GB dbs left aiyuk to get to that tackle. If you freeze, you'll see that Purdy saw 2 GB guys he had to throw over. He wasn't comfortable in the pocket all day long and I don't blame him for not wanting to hold the ball longer
@@rishijagtap8593I thought it was amazing that he was only sacked once the entire game. Let's put it this way, the pass pro got better as the game wore on. And for some reasons, in the final drive SF went to the most basic plays. Dump off here, short hitches here, quick out to Conley, scramble and get chunks. Just basic yards / clock eating complimentary football. O line looked good, Purdy looked decisive, everything clicked on that final drive. But, name 3 guys from SF that can rush: Chase Young, Bosa, Hargrave. Name 3 guys from GB that can rush: Kenny Clark. That's it. And all day long it was GB that generated all that pressure. There were close plays from Bosa that didn't show up in the stats sheet (i.e. the last QB pressure that resulted in the INT at the end), but over all we needed much more from our D line. And we haven't even talked about Ambry Thomas. Oliver got benched, and now Thomas struggles. The Lions' receiving core is much better than GB's. It already feels like we'll have to win the game in a shootout with DET this coming Sunday.
Brock Purdy hasn't had a pocket to work in since coming to the NFL, the low sack count is a testament to Brock's ability to move in and out of the pocket. Unfortunately, that job becomes MUCH harder on a wet field. Get this man protection, even at the cost of one of his weapons
@@DudeTastic13 Ugh, breh you left out their two sack leaders, Rashan Gary and Preston Smith. Green Bay got pressure because the 49ers' O line is 20th in the league in pass block win rate while Green Bay's O line is 2nd in the league. Basically, Green Bay has a better pass blocking O line. The Lions O line is 13th in pass block win rate.
I think the "he played awful" is actually a testament to us knowing how good he actually is and him not meeting those expectations. Watchers of this channel have observed how crazy good this kid is and now we now expect it and are surprised and sad when he performs like this, because we know hes better.
@@googleisskynet7312 Agreed. I've watched every snap he's played and this was below his normal high standards, but far from awful. It also doesn't help that Shanahan plays so conservatively in play-off games, which cancels out Purdy's ability to make big plays. I get that knockout games are a different dynamic and one bad play can end your season, but Kyle takes it too far.
@googleisskynet7312 The thing is, this wasn't a bad game because of high standards, this was a bad game by anyone's standards. 4:15 JT even says that throw would be bad on Friday nights at the high school level.
The strangest thing to me watching this game was the lack of adjustment to the run game by Shanahan with early plays in each set of downs. He continuously went to his struggling QB on 1sts and 2nds for throws rather than handoffs to the best RB in the game and a very very good 2nd stronger in Mitchell. Made no sense to me.
Noticed sf was having a hard time in passpro too, I think that's why Trent got the penalty and was upset, it's the playoffs and defenses get tougher, purdy didn't have all day to set up and read the defense, should've ran it a bit more and between the tackles also like they did later on in the game which was effective btw not just trying to get outside, gb made a heck of a defensive effort and if they're kicker (looking at you gb kicker) makes that 40 yarder ,it's tied after sf scores and the packers get another chance ,but agree implementing the run more could've helped..
@jasonjones8938 granted. Shanahan does indeed seem to play chess as the game starts to feel out the opponent. GB was stacking the box for alot of the game. Having said that, Brock threw what easily could have been two picks... rather seeing use old school run twice and PA's on 3rd downs than what we were doing.
@jaha777jaha6 our pass protection all year hasn't been great. I believe our Oline ranks in the low 20's. Thankfully, Purdy is highly underrated as an on the run passer.
Watching a replay, I counted BP throw 8 bad passes through the 1st three quarters; JL threw 5 bad passes through the first three quarters. BP threw 2 bad passes in the 4th quarter; JL threw 4 bad passes in the 4th quarter and had a breakdown in decision-making on 1st and 10 with two timeouts. Overall, BP played with more situational understanding than JL.
I think feel matters a lot here. Purdy's misses *looked* bad, so people downplay his performance. Love's hits looked great and his misses were more "typical" than Purdy's to the average viewer. That doesn't mean Purdy had worse situational awareness, or that you need to compare them at all, just that I understand coming out of that game feeling like JL played much better than BP... That being said, I really don't get the people trying to "downplay" the discussion on Purdy by forcing him into the category of all of the "average" QBs we never talk about over and over... whether he's elite, or great, or a system QB or whatever, having someone like Brock Purdy putting up awesome numbers and talking about it is just better for football. It's more *fun* when some of the potentially great QBs we talk about aren't the protypical Allen / Mahomes type and rely on a different part of the game to make them "great". IMO, football fans should *hope* Purdy or someone like him is always in the "greats" conversation, because it makes the game more fun to talk about.
Just starting the video, will comment my thoughts later. But above all else, knowing we only have 1 potentially 2 more weeks of Purdy analysis, Thank you JTO! Love the channel and keep it up. I need to head over to Patreon and see what's up over there
Watching the game it really felt very uncharacteristic how purdy played. Great job breaking down what he did differently and how he played down to how he usually plays. Late throws, bad throws, different reads, not taking the shots he usually takes, bad play design and asking him to do way more than he needs to. Love the channel JT. Keep it up. We know Purdy will get back to what he does next week against Detroit!
The Niners rarely got lucky in the playoffs before this game. The dropped pick two years ago on Stafford, Purdy's injury. It was nice to see someone else drop the picks
I can’t wait for these every week… today’s fan should be watching these to gain more understanding of why the routes are ran and set up the way they are… defensive formations and decision making by the QB…watching this makes me realize just how bad the right side of our line is Mckivitz got his ass beat all night…
@@MrFreakazoid24 and the consistent 7 step drop exposing his throwing arm to a weakly protected pass rush on the right side. The tendency to abandon the run altogether at the weirdest times. I could go on.
The guy jumping on the 32 sideline was Shanahan yelling because mccloud ran the route wrong. It was said later that Purdy had to check a certain wr on the side line per Kittle said what he saw on the sideline during that game
Thanks for tossing in a run at the end. I thought this game was NOT game planned well. Rotate some of the other fresh backs in there. Pound the rock in the rain. Then play action. You’re the best.
According to Kittle, Purdy went off on the sideline after the miscommunication/wrong route by McCloud. Kittle said he knew then they were going to win. Made the whole team focus in on what needed to be done. The next drive was the game winner. Being a good QB also requires things on the sideline viewers, media, and fans don't see.
When Montana threw The Catch he first threw 3 interceptions and fumbled once. The game winning drive Purdy had at the end of the game will be remembered as his defining moment
CRUSHED it, as always J.T.O. Damn, this channel makes me wish I took the opportunity to play QB instead of Safety is HS when the Coach offered it to me.
I know you made fun of Purdy when you brought up him wiping his hand midway through his drop back on that one play, but I actually went through all the plays you went through to watch his hand and see if he completed passes due to wiping his hand on his pants before the snap, compared to if he didn’t wipe his hand, when he had incompletions, or if the pass was a good pass, and it was dropped… sometimes he wipes his whole hand, and sometimes just his finger tips. I didn’t tally the throws he was wearing the glove, and he eventually takes it off. Then I tallied pass plays where he either has a completion or non-completion pass: When he does wipe his hand on his pants before snap he completes 6 passes. When he doesn’t wipe his hand on his pants before snap, he throws 8 bad passes/incompletions. He had only 3 completions when not wiping his hand. He had 2 incompletions when wiping his hand before snap, and one good pass but the WR ran the wrong route. I didn’t watch every single play, I only watched the ones reviewed in this video. I am confident with a larger sample size, if I had access to all the tape, that when Purdy wipes his hand before the snap, he actually throws better in the rain. Some of the incompletions were him not wiping his hand, but he was snapping under center, so he wouldn’t need to as much. Based on my sample size, Purdy learned how to throw in the rain mid game, figured out how to do it without disrupting his normal rhythm. We’re basically watching a 2nd year guy figuring it out, in clutch games, clutch situations, and overcoming what was his weakness and probably still is, an example was his game in Cleveland when he faced a tough defense when it was raining without Deebo. So, with the exception of him wiping his hand mid-drop back, I think him wiping his hand before snaps benefited him, his passes were a lot better, more accurate when he did that.
It's now apparent that Brock Purdy should have played at least the first half vs the Rams in week 18. Purdy even said that it was weird for him not being out there. This isn't a 10 year veteran taking a game off. Let's remember that Jordan Love had TWO dropped INT's, including one that would have killed a TD drive. Also, the Packers were VERY FORTUNATE to get back their two fumbles. Green Bay could have had FOUR more turnovers!
🙄Another biased 9er fan. Those weren't close to being turnovers. Love was playing the #4 ranked defense (dvoa) w/ 0 pro bowl teammates on offense. Purdy was playing the 27th ranked defense (dvoa) w/ 5 all-pros (but the excuse is he was missing a 6th all-pro in Deebo). Bad games happen & Love wilted in the 4th while Purdy came up clutch; we don't need the excuses.
Purdy threw the ball to the defense more than Love, and in worse ways, don't spin this crap about Purdy played well, he played pretty fucking crap, that doesn't change that he is pretty good though
In kittles defense I think the reason he was surprised with the reroute is cuz it was 7 yards past the line of scrimmage. He probably expected to be hit within 5 yards cuz that is the rule but at 7 yards it caught him off guard
At 4:53 you can see what happened. Brock is looking left...when he looks back to throw it he has no line of sight. He NEVER saw him there. 26 actually moves and hides behind the big men in front of Brock. Great play by 26 but he couldn't finish it. THANK GOD! BANG BANG! EDIT: I LOVE your breakdowns and look forward to them! Gonna do spring league? Keep doin' what you're doin'!
You are 100% correct on these breakdowns, and Brock knew it. he said in the presser that he wasn't progressing and going to his check downs like he was supposed to.
Great work J.T. during the offseason, it would be cool if you can get Brock in or even Kyle to go through all the plays you covered this year where you were not clear as to what they were thinking. It would be great to hear their responses to how you were thinking about the plays.
Its obvious the weak link of offense is the right side of O-line. But this game I chalk up to Deebo being a HUGE part of the gameplan so when he went out Shannahan and offense didnt adjust well.
People compare Brock to Allen Mahomes Jackson and Herbert he’s not these guys being a level physically bellow these guys is no slight. Theres more than one way to win in this league and Brock is a franchise guy. I don’t get why people hate him so much
Because he's white. Because he represents what the league has trying to get away from. Because he's Christian and non self aggrandizing. They hate him for the same reasons Hollywood is busy destroying franchises and Corporations are destroying brands in the name of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
I think those guys can be slow at reads and still make those throws whereas Brock has to play behind one of the worst pass blocking olines in the league. He doesn’t have the time or arm to be late on throws so he has to play with anticipation.
The thing is that no one who thinks Brock Purdy is a really good QB are even saying he's on the level of Mahomes or one of those guys, so it's a complete strawman argument. He did put up MVP-caliber numbers though, and it wasn't simply because of the talent surrounding him, so all of his detractors have been trying to throw shade on him by saying he's not on those guys' level, but no one is even saying he is! Lol the goalposts have moved so drastically on him. At first, people were saying Lance should start over him, now they're saying, "well, he isn't Mahomes." Lol it's so disingenuous!
The linebacker that rerouted Kittle hit him right at the 5.5-6 yards off the line of scrimmage point. It could be argued, "Illegal Contact"! The sky cam really shows that it was beyond 5 yards!
Great vid. Thanks for the tough love on the play design. I hope/wish Shanahan will closely reexamine the non productive plays that were way too numerous in this game.
Hey man. I loved this one. Just wondering if you are actually planning to do a follow up vid on the subject of why the 9ers didn't run the ball more, as I would really love to hear your take on that cause a lot of us were baffled! Thanks for another great take here
for the record 3 was not doing the right thing. he thought he should play out of structure while Purdy was still playing in rhythem. The broadcast and most media blamed Brock which nuts considering that 3 hardly ever plays and Brock plays every game but I can't say I'm surprised.
At 35:00, I think you can see what's supposed to happen. When the left curl defender squeezes the middle, there's a 2 on 1 with Mccaffrey and Aiyuk on the other side against the flat defender. Purdy needs to see that and swap his read from the right side to the left and make the throw to Aiyuk
I’m glad you addressed the weather and your experience with it, right away This is not getting talked about enough and I think the 49ers look more like what we’ve seen most of the season vs last week in the rain
JT, if you're as concerned as I am about how bad a job the 49ers are doing of protecting Purdy's surgically rebuilt elbow, I'd just make a compilation of all those elbow hits and send it straight to John Lynch.
The pass at :14 seconds in 1st half. I recall a game early in the season that KS got on Purdy for ad libbing and leaving only about a second left for the field goal try. Im sure you're right: if it ain't there, bleacher it.
Shanahan only called 5 play action passes out of Purdy’s 40 dropbacks. That is not typical. The pass protection is not good enough to allow Purdy to succeed with that many dropbacks. I’m really afraid of what McKivitz will allow Hutchinson to do this Sunday.
I think it's like he said, it really was a combination of everything that caused Burdy to play bad. People forget how young he is. I know he hade someone open innthe end zone, but he learned from the Bengals game and he decided to keep it and get the yards.
Watching the film and formations it's clear that the gameplan was to save their better rushing plays for another game, and run the offense through Deebo. Once Deebo got hurt that threw a massive wrench in their gameplan, and it held them back this game. The same thing happened in Cleveland.
Jesus can we get JT in the media and get rid of these annoying hot take useless pundits that have no idea what they are on about. This is the content I want to see. Fair and critical when it needs to be.
Really enjoy your break downs. Very fair. How much do you think the field conditions impacted the timing of the routes? Looked like a few he led the receivers too much
JT you are the true MVP this season. Love the work, i'd rather watch your breakdowns than all those talking heads that pollute the nfl world with their nonsense.
really love your analysis. Also showed that it wasn't quite as bad as it looked in a lot of places, even if it was still... not good at all xD... Thanks for taking the time to do these, makes me a much smarter viewer. Also... if you see this, How much of this performance do you think falls on the gameplan / play calling? Obviously Purdy made some serious execution mistakes and mental mistakes, but it felt to me like Shanahan was way too committed to the dropback game, even when they weren't behind, especially for conditions that the 49ers have historically played terribly in. I feel like Shanahan gets a bit of a free pass on badly called games sometimes because of how great he is the rest of the time xD. A lot of people criticized him for clock management in this game, which I get, but honestly that's pretty consistent for Shanahan. Seemed like the play calling was *definitely* off for him on Sunday.
You can tell the Deebo injury threw almost the entire playbook out. They were struggling to find plays to make space in the middle of the field all night. They intended to pull Green Bay to the edges and once Deebo went out they didn’t have packages installed to counter the loss.
People are making too big of deal about his early struggles in this game. He clearly has issues playing in the rain as evidenced by the uncharacteristic misses and wiping his hand mid dropback. So does his opponent this weekend Jared Goff but everyone seems to have forgotten about that. The two drives where the rain let up purdy played like himself. As soon as the rain comes down hard jordan love threw a game ending pick. The rain was very heavy. He also had not played in ~3 weeks and probably had some playoff nerves. I think we have seen enough good accuracy and timing from purdy to chaulk this up to he struggles in bad weather. However, the media loves to pick on the kid and makes it a referendum on him like he didn't have a perfect passer rating and multiple 4td games earlier this season. There is no rain in the forecast next week and the SB is in a dome. I am more concern about deebo not being healthy than purdy having another game like this. He has been consistent the past year and half, lets give him the benefit of the doubt.
I mean maybe having three weeks off was a bad thing? I know they practice but its probably not the same thing as playing in the game. All i know is that wasn't the normal Purdy performance so it didn't happen in my mind still got the dub.
yeah i can't think this is entirely rain. I really think there was rust here. he said he was having trouble going through his reads until the end of the game.
Question about pass pro. When you’re in meetings/watching film, is the entire OL, RB & QB going over the what went right or wrong from the previous week. While also preparing for the next week’s tendencies for pressure looks.
I think the Packers DL was very influential on a number of those bad throws. They did a good job of getting big - hands in the air to block his vision. Incredible poise and throws late though.
Purdy was so uncomfortable because the oline was having a hard time dealing with gb front 4 on defense, i think that's why trent Williams got the penalty, they consistently walked down the interior and got in purdys face (remember he isn't that tall) the pocket wasn't as clean as it was during the season and it affected the play, gb had a heck of a game defensively ...
I think the other really big factor in this game was that the O-line was capital A *awful* throughout. On some of those "missed throw" plays, you can see the rush clearly getting to Purdy, and it obviously affected his comfort in the pocket on others. On that play starting at 5:13, for example, if you look at the endzone angle (5:29), every damn rusher gets to him in succession. First Feliciano (#55) gets walked straight into him from one side. Then Williams is too slow getting out to #94 on the late stunt, so that guy gets an almost free run at him. When he moves away from that threat, #52 is climbing over McKivitz to get at him. Then when he tries to get out of the pocket, #91 (the only rusher who'd been getting blocked effectively to that point) sees him and gets off his block to make the sack. I mean if you want to know why he can't find and hit Kittle on that return route, that's why: literally every time he moved away from one rusher, there was another one coming free from another direction. Avoiding one rusher and making a throw, sure, but all four in rapid succession...probably not. Same thing with the play starting at 43:52 - yes Kittle and Aiyuk eventually come open, but the rush had already gotten to Purdy before those routes were available. As for why they didn't run the ball more, well, look at the blocking part of the play at 36:13 - both guards getting utterly blown up by the DTs. That's what our run-blocking looked like the vast majority of the game, outside of the two TD runs. CMC was constantly getting met in the backfield, and having to break multiple tackles just to get 5 yards when he could even manage that.
Coming from a non-U.S. rugby background, this channel has helped me appreciate the subtleties of the American game and better understand what I'm watching (as opposed to the ra-ra garbage they churn out on ESPN).

@@Zoze13 - My favorite analysis show growing up was Edge NFL Matchup. They would do this kind of breakdown of routes, tendencies, and analyzing the A-22 footage. Better than any other show.
The only downside was that they would spread their focus across the league, so it was usually only a play or two each on the offensive and defensive side of the ball, and they would do it for both teams in a game, and then they would do many of the games. The analysis was great, but seeing as I only really cared about the 49ers and maybe the opponent, it wasn't enough with just the play or two. Which is why I loved playoff time because they would spend more time on just the remaining teams, and instead of one show early Sunday during the reg season, they would do a full hour show on both Sat morning & Sun morning, essentially giving a half hour preview to each playoff matchup.....and longer for Super Bowl.
I love that JT now does this at 30-60 mins for basically each team every week.
The way I look at it, it’s just pure entertainment, not for actual facts. The “analysts” that they call analysts, they are paid to be controversial, and it seems like in the last 20 years or so, the worst take you have, the better. People/fanbases come back to watch who they hate, knowing their take will be bad/biased, and then other fans will come back to watch their guy that they usually agree with. These guys all know the narratives out there, they have people going through comment threads, holding opinion polls and figuring out the hottest topics in sports, so when they write up their segment, they’re already calculating the kind of ratings they’ll have, especially after a big game.
These smaller more informative and educational CZcams channels are nothing like the talking head shows. These are deep dive analysis from guys that actually really know football. Nick Wright sits around and talks about basketball and football, but he doesn’t know the sports as well as he thinks he knows. He watches a few games, looks at the box score with a strong bias, and then comes up with the worst take he can think of, or the most controversial one, knowing he’ll piss off a whole fanbase, and that’s the entire point.
This channel has made football 10x more enjoyable for me. It's battle chess.
Exactly!

Oh hell yeah, an hour long video showing my Packers figuring out a way to break my heart one more time
If the Pack doesn’t want their heart broke than they need to leave the 49ers alone 😂
Listen it's only fair. The Pack and Favre broke my heart NUMEROUS times as a kid. I hate to say it but I'm sure Love will get the best of us sooner rather than later. Not looking forward to it
It could be worse. You could be a Bill's fan listening to a Mahomes analysis.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Now you know how we 49ers fans felt in the Favre years! My son was delivered four days after the Packers beat the 49ers in the Jan 1996 playoffs, by a doctor who walked in wearing a Packers sweatshirt!

I come here for the brilliant analysis of a very complicated game, but I stay for the snark: "TO. THE. GATORADE!!" Can't stop laughing.
I loved that JT loved that.
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?"🤣
30 years ago, I was 14 and watched the 49ers win their 5th Lombardi trophy against the Chargers. I've been praying this is our year faithful 🙏.
Same after so many deep runs and heartbreaking losses, I can’t describe how badly I want to win this ring
@uhm7293 who won defense mvp that year without looking it up....
Probably not in the cards this year.....Lions they are rightfully favored, but their defense cannot be favored vs the 2 AFC teams and either QB left. Earlier in the season I thought the Offense was up for the challenge, but I don't see it vs the Ravens or Chiefs - both of those defenses are too much for this mediocre O-Line. It doesn't help that Shanahan is a proven awful clock manager. Mobile QBs absolutely destroy the 49ers. Goff ok, check - not too scary, but forget Mahomes or Jackson.
I was 10
I was 13 . And so use to the niners winning . I want it so bad now I can taste it
Love the Brock Purdy breakdown. Watched at the beginning of the season. Truly made me appreciate Purdy as a Niner even more.
One thing I know for sure is that most of our picks this draft need to be Oline
I would draft secondary equally as much....in fact pick 4 of each. I wouldn't mind them trading up for the 2nd or 3rd best rated corner in the draft. Lenior and Thomas just are not it - average to below-average looking players. Reminding me of Witherspoon several seasons back. 49ers hasn't had a 2nd good corner since Mosley's ultra-rotten luck on that gawd-awful turf.
@@pcucsd Honestly, Lenoir has been good-to-excellent in the slot, and he had a really good game in this one. Thomas has also been solid at times, but unquestionably too inconsistent, and his bad days have been, well...this.
@@pcucsd lenoir is good
I dont know who you're watching, but good-to-excellent is not an apt desription. Lenoir is a C- and Thomas a D. Both are burned every game@@Wolfeson28

It would be interesting to have an episode with a side-by-side comparison of the 2 QBs that played each other, especially in these deep playoff games
That Gatorade block and the Coach crying 😂😂😂
At the 20:00, we see Aiyuk coming open, but that's only after Purdy went underneath with CMC and the GB dbs left aiyuk to get to that tackle. If you freeze, you'll see that Purdy saw 2 GB guys he had to throw over. He wasn't comfortable in the pocket all day long and I don't blame him for not wanting to hold the ball longer
the amount of times his center just gets walked back into purdy is hilarious. Bro's pass protection is genuinely non existent
you might be using hard drugs@@rishijagtap8593
@@rishijagtap8593I thought it was amazing that he was only sacked once the entire game. Let's put it this way, the pass pro got better as the game wore on. And for some reasons, in the final drive SF went to the most basic plays. Dump off here, short hitches here, quick out to Conley, scramble and get chunks. Just basic yards / clock eating complimentary football. O line looked good, Purdy looked decisive, everything clicked on that final drive.
But, name 3 guys from SF that can rush: Chase Young, Bosa, Hargrave. Name 3 guys from GB that can rush: Kenny Clark. That's it. And all day long it was GB that generated all that pressure. There were close plays from Bosa that didn't show up in the stats sheet (i.e. the last QB pressure that resulted in the INT at the end), but over all we needed much more from our D line. And we haven't even talked about Ambry Thomas. Oliver got benched, and now Thomas struggles. The Lions' receiving core is much better than GB's. It already feels like we'll have to win the game in a shootout with DET this coming Sunday.
Brock Purdy hasn't had a pocket to work in since coming to the NFL, the low sack count is a testament to Brock's ability to move in and out of the pocket.
Unfortunately, that job becomes MUCH harder on a wet field.
Get this man protection, even at the cost of one of his weapons
@@DudeTastic13
Ugh, breh you left out their two sack leaders, Rashan Gary and Preston Smith. Green Bay got pressure because the 49ers' O line is 20th in the league in pass block win rate while Green Bay's O line is 2nd in the league. Basically, Green Bay has a better pass blocking O line. The Lions O line is 13th in pass block win rate.
I think the "he played awful" is actually a testament to us knowing how good he actually is and him not meeting those expectations. Watchers of this channel have observed how crazy good this kid is and now we now expect it and are surprised and sad when he performs like this, because we know hes better.
Well that's certainly a way to spin it.
HOLY GLAAAZE
@@Aaron-th7xx that's not a spin. If you're used to a certain level of performance, anything less seems a lot worse than it is.
@@googleisskynet7312 Agreed. I've watched every snap he's played and this was below his normal high standards, but far from awful. It also doesn't help that Shanahan plays so conservatively in play-off games, which cancels out Purdy's ability to make big plays. I get that knockout games are a different dynamic and one bad play can end your season, but Kyle takes it too far.
@googleisskynet7312 The thing is, this wasn't a bad game because of high standards, this was a bad game by anyone's standards. 4:15 JT even says that throw would be bad on Friday nights at the high school level.
Dam, didn't realize that Purdy's elbow was in such dangerous situations on multiple plays. Thanks for the analysis JTO!
The strangest thing to me watching this game was the lack of adjustment to the run game by Shanahan with early plays in each set of downs.
He continuously went to his struggling QB on 1sts and 2nds for throws rather than handoffs to the best RB in the game and a very very good 2nd stronger in Mitchell.
Made no sense to me.
CMC wasn’t getting much in the run game early on.
Noticed sf was having a hard time in passpro too, I think that's why Trent got the penalty and was upset, it's the playoffs and defenses get tougher, purdy didn't have all day to set up and read the defense, should've ran it a bit more and between the tackles also like they did later on in the game which was effective btw not just trying to get outside, gb made a heck of a defensive effort and if they're kicker (looking at you gb kicker) makes that 40 yarder ,it's tied after sf scores and the packers get another chance ,but agree implementing the run more could've helped..
@jasonjones8938 granted. Shanahan does indeed seem to play chess as the game starts to feel out the opponent.
GB was stacking the box for alot of the game. Having said that, Brock threw what easily could have been two picks... rather seeing use old school run twice and PA's on 3rd downs than what we were doing.
@jaha777jaha6 our pass protection all year hasn't been great. I believe our Oline ranks in the low 20's.
Thankfully, Purdy is highly underrated as an on the run passer.
Rather see us using*
Watching a replay, I counted BP throw 8 bad passes through the 1st three quarters; JL threw 5 bad passes through the first three quarters. BP threw 2 bad passes in the 4th quarter; JL threw 4 bad passes in the 4th quarter and had a breakdown in decision-making on 1st and 10 with two timeouts. Overall, BP played with more situational understanding than JL.
I think feel matters a lot here. Purdy's misses *looked* bad, so people downplay his performance. Love's hits looked great and his misses were more "typical" than Purdy's to the average viewer. That doesn't mean Purdy had worse situational awareness, or that you need to compare them at all, just that I understand coming out of that game feeling like JL played much better than BP...
That being said, I really don't get the people trying to "downplay" the discussion on Purdy by forcing him into the category of all of the "average" QBs we never talk about over and over... whether he's elite, or great, or a system QB or whatever, having someone like Brock Purdy putting up awesome numbers and talking about it is just better for football. It's more *fun* when some of the potentially great QBs we talk about aren't the protypical Allen / Mahomes type and rely on a different part of the game to make them "great". IMO, football fans should *hope* Purdy or someone like him is always in the "greats" conversation, because it makes the game more fun to talk about.
“Lafleur doesn’t like gatorade blocks.”😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Just starting the video, will comment my thoughts later. But above all else, knowing we only have 1 potentially 2 more weeks of Purdy analysis, Thank you JTO! Love the channel and keep it up. I need to head over to Patreon and see what's up over there
thanks. yup
Lets not forget the Niners sat Purdy in their final game; he had not taken a snap in 3 weeks.
Watching the game it really felt very uncharacteristic how purdy played. Great job breaking down what he did differently and how he played down to how he usually plays. Late throws, bad throws, different reads, not taking the shots he usually takes, bad play design and asking him to do way more than he needs to. Love the channel JT. Keep it up. We know Purdy will get back to what he does next week against Detroit!
41:46 slow mo of DT #95 dropping into coverage is maybe the single funniest footage I've seen in football this year.
That’s hilarious, I didn’t see that guy.

Aiyuk solid af @ 31:34 - on the gatorade block play, you see a GB DB trying to get through him standing there as a screen and levels himself.
There is a very subtle turn of the head by Aiyuk. Dude knows he’s coming and is *ready*
weak force bounces off immovable object.
@@evilducks3710 Def knows it's coming. Pretty sure he's trying to not get a flag for any illegal blocking or anything and just stands there to screen.
That's a LB!
On the Gatorade play, watch Quay Walker try to get cheap with Aiyuk and get's absolutely stonewalled. 31:18
The Niners rarely got lucky in the playoffs before this game. The dropped pick two years ago on Stafford, Purdy's injury. It was nice to see someone else drop the picks
I can’t wait for these every week… today’s fan should be watching these to gain more understanding of why the routes are ran and set up the way they are… defensive formations and decision making by the QB…watching this makes me realize just how bad the right side of our line is Mckivitz got his ass beat all night…
I can't wait to see what Purdy can do with an actual line.
Will never happen as a Niner. Shanahan/Lynch refuse to invest in oline outside of LT

For all his offensive genius and innovation, Shanahan makes some bonehead play calls sometimes.

As always, thank you for this content. It’s Exactly what fans and other football junkies (coaches) love to watch. Thank you for what you do!
The guy jumping on the 32 sideline was Shanahan yelling because mccloud ran the route wrong. It was said later that Purdy had to check a certain wr on the side line per Kittle said what he saw on the sideline during that game
Thanks for tossing in a run at the end. I thought this game was NOT game planned well. Rotate some of the other fresh backs in there. Pound the rock in the rain. Then play action.
You’re the best.
56:28 I did predict there would be at least 1 Michael Jackson noise. Lmao
Great vid JT. Didn't even feel like an hour long video.
According to Kittle, Purdy went off on the sideline after the miscommunication/wrong route by McCloud. Kittle said he knew then they were going to win. Made the whole team focus in on what needed to be done. The next drive was the game winner. Being a good QB also requires things on the sideline viewers, media, and fans don't see.
Best football media outlet anywhere. Great, Great, Great.
When Montana threw The Catch he first threw 3 interceptions and fumbled once. The game winning drive Purdy had at the end of the game will be remembered as his defining moment
It will be remembered as "A" defining moment (among many more to come!)
CRUSHED it, as always J.T.O.
Damn, this channel makes me wish I took the opportunity to play QB instead of Safety is HS when the Coach offered it to me.
I know you made fun of Purdy when you brought up him wiping his hand midway through his drop back on that one play, but I actually went through all the plays you went through to watch his hand and see if he completed passes due to wiping his hand on his pants before the snap, compared to if he didn’t wipe his hand, when he had incompletions, or if the pass was a good pass, and it was dropped… sometimes he wipes his whole hand, and sometimes just his finger tips.
I didn’t tally the throws he was wearing the glove, and he eventually takes it off. Then I tallied pass plays where he either has a completion or non-completion pass:
When he does wipe his hand on his pants before snap he completes 6 passes.
When he doesn’t wipe his hand on his pants before snap, he throws 8 bad passes/incompletions.
He had only 3 completions when not wiping his hand.
He had 2 incompletions when wiping his hand before snap, and one good pass but the WR ran the wrong route.
I didn’t watch every single play, I only watched the ones reviewed in this video. I am confident with a larger sample size, if I had access to all the tape, that when Purdy wipes his hand before the snap, he actually throws better in the rain. Some of the incompletions were him not wiping his hand, but he was snapping under center, so he wouldn’t need to as much.
Based on my sample size, Purdy learned how to throw in the rain mid game, figured out how to do it without disrupting his normal rhythm. We’re basically watching a 2nd year guy figuring it out, in clutch games, clutch situations, and overcoming what was his weakness and probably still is, an example was his game in Cleveland when he faced a tough defense when it was raining without Deebo.
So, with the exception of him wiping his hand mid-drop back, I think him wiping his hand before snaps benefited him, his passes were a lot better, more accurate when he did that.
It's now apparent that Brock Purdy should have played at least the first half vs the Rams in week 18. Purdy even said that it was weird for him not being out there. This isn't a 10 year veteran taking a game off.
Let's remember that Jordan Love had TWO dropped INT's, including one that would have killed a TD drive. Also, the Packers were VERY FORTUNATE to get back their two fumbles. Green Bay could have had FOUR more turnovers!
🙄Another biased 9er fan. Those weren't close to being turnovers. Love was playing the #4 ranked defense (dvoa) w/ 0 pro bowl teammates on offense. Purdy was playing the 27th ranked defense (dvoa) w/ 5 all-pros (but the excuse is he was missing a 6th all-pro in Deebo). Bad games happen & Love wilted in the 4th while Purdy came up clutch; we don't need the excuses.
Purdy threw the ball to the defense more than Love, and in worse ways, don't spin this crap about Purdy played well, he played pretty fucking crap, that doesn't change that he is pretty good though
In kittles defense I think the reason he was surprised with the reroute is cuz it was 7 yards past the line of scrimmage. He probably expected to be hit within 5 yards cuz that is the rule but at 7 yards it caught him off guard
Please we all need to send this to Kyle so we can get that 7 step drop taken out and advocate for more protection around Brock’s arm and elbow
thank for doing these all 22...love seeing the plays from these views...
Everytime you said elbow i winced
Dude your voice is soothing as hell while you break this down. Makes it that much more enjoyable 😂🤣
On that Gatorade block. Did you see what Ayuik did. He knocked a Man flat on his ass standing flat footed and just walked up to him.
That over the top pass play was likely designed that way. Fans call it, 3rd and Jauan. Jauan Jennings is used often for long 3rd downs.
At 4:53 you can see what happened. Brock is looking left...when he looks back to throw it he has no line of sight. He NEVER saw him there. 26 actually moves and hides behind the big men in front of Brock. Great play by 26 but he couldn't finish it. THANK GOD! BANG BANG!
EDIT: I LOVE your breakdowns and look forward to them! Gonna do spring league? Keep doin' what you're doin'!
I really appreciate the honest, no BS perspective.
You are 100% correct on these breakdowns, and Brock knew it. he said in the presser that he wasn't progressing and going to his check downs like he was supposed to.
Great work J.T. during the offseason, it would be cool if you can get Brock in or even Kyle to go through all the plays you covered this year where you were not clear as to what they were thinking. It would be great to hear their responses to how you were thinking about the plays.
Best breakdown ive seen. Sheesh this was good stuff.
Its obvious the weak link of offense is the right side of O-line. But this game I chalk up to Deebo being a HUGE part of the gameplan so when he went out Shannahan and offense didnt adjust well.
It's Mckivitz. he is horrendous and I cannot believe he is even in the NFL
A nice gritty win in the rain to shake the rust off!
People compare Brock to Allen Mahomes Jackson and Herbert he’s not these guys being a level physically bellow these guys is no slight. Theres more than one way to win in this league and Brock is a franchise guy. I don’t get why people hate him so much
He’s more like Brady and brees. No I’m not saying he’s that level now, but play wise
Because he's white. Because he represents what the league has trying to get away from.
Because he's Christian and non self aggrandizing.
They hate him for the same reasons Hollywood is busy destroying franchises and Corporations are destroying brands in the name of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
@@Jason-gq8foHe's already playing as well as Montana
I think those guys can be slow at reads and still make those throws whereas Brock has to play behind one of the worst pass blocking olines in the league. He doesn’t have the time or arm to be late on throws so he has to play with anticipation.
The thing is that no one who thinks Brock Purdy is a really good QB are even saying he's on the level of Mahomes or one of those guys, so it's a complete strawman argument. He did put up MVP-caliber numbers though, and it wasn't simply because of the talent surrounding him, so all of his detractors have been trying to throw shade on him by saying he's not on those guys' level, but no one is even saying he is! Lol the goalposts have moved so drastically on him. At first, people were saying Lance should start over him, now they're saying, "well, he isn't Mahomes." Lol it's so disingenuous!
The linebacker that rerouted Kittle hit him right at the 5.5-6 yards off the line of scrimmage point. It could be argued, "Illegal Contact"! The sky cam really shows that it was beyond 5 yards!
Great vid. Thanks for the tough love on the play design. I hope/wish Shanahan will closely reexamine the non productive plays that were way too numerous in this game.
Your analysis is so good.
Hey man. I loved this one. Just wondering if you are actually planning to do a follow up vid on the subject of why the 9ers didn't run the ball more, as I would really love to hear your take on that cause a lot of us were baffled!
Thanks for another great take here
Glad we got the W, feels like Ray Ray could have been utilized more as well. Hopefully the Niners learned lots of lessons this week.
Great breakdown
I love this show. Love it!
Great break down!!!
The throw at 5 min, I think Purdy sees the S move towards the middle and thinks he's going to engage kittle, but he was reading Purdy's eyes.
Great video! I think this is the first time you featured Brock when he was not lights out.
for the record 3 was not doing the right thing. he thought he should play out of structure while Purdy was still playing in rhythem. The broadcast and most media blamed Brock which nuts considering that 3 hardly ever plays and Brock plays every game but I can't say I'm surprised.
At 35:00, I think you can see what's supposed to happen. When the left curl defender squeezes the middle, there's a 2 on 1 with Mccaffrey and Aiyuk on the other side against the flat defender. Purdy needs to see that and swap his read from the right side to the left and make the throw to Aiyuk
I’m glad you addressed the weather and your experience with it, right away
This is not getting talked about enough and I think the 49ers look more like what we’ve seen most of the season vs last week in the rain
JT, if you're as concerned as I am about how bad a job the 49ers are doing of protecting Purdy's surgically rebuilt elbow, I'd just make a compilation of all those elbow hits and send it straight to John Lynch.
The pass at :14 seconds in 1st half. I recall a game early in the season that KS got on Purdy for ad libbing and leaving only about a second left for the field goal try. Im sure you're right: if it ain't there, bleacher it.
Shanahan only called 5 play action passes out of Purdy’s 40 dropbacks. That is not typical. The pass protection is not good enough to allow Purdy to succeed with that many dropbacks. I’m really afraid of what McKivitz will allow Hutchinson to do this Sunday.
I think it's like he said, it really was a combination of everything that caused Burdy to play bad. People forget how young he is. I know he hade someone open innthe end zone, but he learned from the Bengals game and he decided to keep it and get the yards.
NOT ONLY THAT,HE HITS AIYUK FOR A TD,THE CLOCK STOPS AND GIVES THE PACKERS A LIL OVER 1:30 SECS AND 2 TIMEOUTS!!!!
Everyone says Purdy's Offense is stacked but they fail to mention the Oline play. Oline has been consistently poor all year. Idiots.
J.T is the king! Unbiased and clean as crystal! Bravo!
Thanks for the awesome content JT! Did you see the Packers use the same presnap shuffle/shift? Kyle starting trend?
great breakdown shanahan. See you in NFC championship
Love the Lahaina strong shirt!
Watching the film and formations it's clear that the gameplan was to save their better rushing plays for another game, and run the offense through Deebo. Once Deebo got hurt that threw a massive wrench in their gameplan, and it held them back this game. The same thing happened in Cleveland.
A hot cup of coffee, a fine cigar and an HOUR of QB School... YaHOO!

For sure, the hot take pundits are completely useless ,lol.
They can't analyze shit, they just yell nonsense at the screen!
Purdy is the GOAT
Come for the football analysis, stay for the "what the hell is this motion"
At 1:01:13 the center makes an amazing reach block on a guy who was killing us all night. It really opened that hole.
It's like all game long, Purdy couldn't trust his ability to feel the pocket and couldn't trust his O-Line.
Really enjoy your break downs. Very fair.
How much do you think the field conditions impacted the timing of the routes? Looked like a few he led the receivers too much
JT you are the true MVP this season. Love the work, i'd rather watch your breakdowns than all those talking heads that pollute the nfl world with their nonsense.
really love your analysis. Also showed that it wasn't quite as bad as it looked in a lot of places, even if it was still... not good at all xD...
Thanks for taking the time to do these, makes me a much smarter viewer. Also... if you see this, How much of this performance do you think falls on the gameplan / play calling? Obviously Purdy made some serious execution mistakes and mental mistakes, but it felt to me like Shanahan was way too committed to the dropback game, even when they weren't behind, especially for conditions that the 49ers have historically played terribly in.
I feel like Shanahan gets a bit of a free pass on badly called games sometimes because of how great he is the rest of the time xD. A lot of people criticized him for clock management in this game, which I get, but honestly that's pretty consistent for Shanahan. Seemed like the play calling was *definitely* off for him on Sunday.
You can tell the Deebo injury threw almost the entire playbook out. They were struggling to find plays to make space in the middle of the field all night. They intended to pull Green Bay to the edges and once Deebo went out they didn’t have packages installed to counter the loss.
People are making too big of deal about his early struggles in this game. He clearly has issues playing in the rain as evidenced by the uncharacteristic misses and wiping his hand mid dropback. So does his opponent this weekend Jared Goff but everyone seems to have forgotten about that. The two drives where the rain let up purdy played like himself. As soon as the rain comes down hard jordan love threw a game ending pick. The rain was very heavy. He also had not played in ~3 weeks and probably had some playoff nerves. I think we have seen enough good accuracy and timing from purdy to chaulk this up to he struggles in bad weather. However, the media loves to pick on the kid and makes it a referendum on him like he didn't have a perfect passer rating and multiple 4td games earlier this season. There is no rain in the forecast next week and the SB is in a dome. I am more concern about deebo not being healthy than purdy having another game like this. He has been consistent the past year and half, lets give him the benefit of the doubt.
Purdy is at his best when he has good pass pro and feels comfortable. He’s still a young qb.
I mean maybe having three weeks off was a bad thing? I know they practice but its probably not the same thing as playing in the game. All i know is that wasn't the normal Purdy performance so it didn't happen in my mind still got the dub.
Kyle is so smart but they need a quality control play calling assistant coach to call BS on some of these designs
great work. rest Vs rust. let's see what happens next sunday
yeah i can't think this is entirely rain. I really think there was rust here. he said he was having trouble going through his reads until the end of the game.
Question about pass pro.
When you’re in meetings/watching film, is the entire OL, RB & QB going over the what went right or wrong from the previous week. While also preparing for the next week’s tendencies for pressure looks.
I think the Packers DL was very influential on a number of those bad throws. They did a good job of getting big - hands in the air to block his vision. Incredible poise and throws late though.
Purdy was so uncomfortable because the oline was having a hard time dealing with gb front 4 on defense, i think that's why trent Williams got the penalty, they consistently walked down the interior and got in purdys face (remember he isn't that tall) the pocket wasn't as clean as it was during the season and it affected the play, gb had a heck of a game defensively ...
Hey!!! Two teams you played for may the best team win
I think the other really big factor in this game was that the O-line was capital A *awful* throughout. On some of those "missed throw" plays, you can see the rush clearly getting to Purdy, and it obviously affected his comfort in the pocket on others. On that play starting at 5:13, for example, if you look at the endzone angle (5:29), every damn rusher gets to him in succession. First Feliciano (#55) gets walked straight into him from one side. Then Williams is too slow getting out to #94 on the late stunt, so that guy gets an almost free run at him. When he moves away from that threat, #52 is climbing over McKivitz to get at him. Then when he tries to get out of the pocket, #91 (the only rusher who'd been getting blocked effectively to that point) sees him and gets off his block to make the sack. I mean if you want to know why he can't find and hit Kittle on that return route, that's why: literally every time he moved away from one rusher, there was another one coming free from another direction. Avoiding one rusher and making a throw, sure, but all four in rapid succession...probably not. Same thing with the play starting at 43:52 - yes Kittle and Aiyuk eventually come open, but the rush had already gotten to Purdy before those routes were available.
As for why they didn't run the ball more, well, look at the blocking part of the play at 36:13 - both guards getting utterly blown up by the DTs. That's what our run-blocking looked like the vast majority of the game, outside of the two TD runs. CMC was constantly getting met in the backfield, and having to break multiple tackles just to get 5 yards when he could even manage that.
