Episode notes
Production Driven By Scheme Fit
- Puka Nacua rarely lines up as the single boundary receiver and is almost always used in multi-receiver concepts.
- His production relies heavily on scheme and formation fit rather than isolated one-on-one dominance.
49ers' Run Game Is The Real Problem
- Brock Purdy has shown balls sailing which could indicate injury, but the bigger issue is the 49ers' inability to run the ball.
- Christian McCaffrey ranks last in yards before first contact, exposing a weak run foundation for the offense.
New Spy Tactics Limit Lamar's Space
- Teams are adjusting to Lamar Jackson by bringing defenders closer to the line and using tighter spies to limit his forward running.
- Cutting his space forces more complex protection and reactive decisions from Jackson on every play.
