Episode notes
Purdy's Picks Were Timing, Not Intent
- Brock Purdy's three first-half interceptions were timing issues rather than poor decisions according to Kyle Shanahan and Purdy himself.
- The throws were late and would likely have been fine if they had come out earlier, revealing timing over judgement as the core problem.
No Official Injury, But Timing Worries Persist
- The hosts emphasize there were no reported injuries affecting Purdy, with Shanahan and team saying his toe was fine postgame.
- They still question whether lingering effects or rust from time off could be causing timing problems on throws.
Defense Carried The Game
- Despite Purdy's turnovers, the 49ers won thanks to dominant third-down defense and clutch fourth-down conversions.
- San Francisco's defense limited Carolina to one of seven third downs while the 49ers converted seven of 13 offensively.
