00:00You want to hear this from Brock Purdy?

00:01Yeah.

00:02This is pretty interesting.

00:05Because we had a lot of talk the last two weeks about two guys

00:08in particular, George Kittle and Debo Samuel.

00:11George Kittle, because he had the comment after the Buffalo

00:14game that was sort of like, don't ask me why I

00:18didn't run that many routes.

00:20And then he also had the comments after this game

00:22about, well, now we're showing the fight and the urgency

00:26that we've been looking for all year.

00:27And then Debo goes to Twitter yesterday.

00:29I'm not struggling.

00:30I'm just not getting the ball.

00:33And has since deleted the tweet, by the way.

00:36Oh, deleted.

00:36Has deleted the tweet.

00:37Bawk, bawk, bawk, bawk, bawk, bawk, bawk, bawk, bawk, bawk.

00:40Stand on it.

00:42Stand on what you tweet.

00:43Exactly.

00:43Stand on what you tweet.

00:45Stand on it.

00:46Stand on what you say.

00:48Stand on what you do.

00:49Thank you, Draymond.

00:50Brock Purdy spoke about both things.

00:53Listen to what he said about George Kittle's involvement.

00:57Just how we scheme it up and everything, for me,

01:00it's like I trust in the game plan.

01:02I trust in our guys to go and make plays.

01:04And I just try to take what the defense gives me.

01:06I don't walk up to the line of scrimmage in a play

01:09and go, I'm going to go here, here, here, just because.

01:13There's a reason why I go to a certain guy.

01:15And it's per coverage.

01:17And I'm just trying to get to my answer per play.

01:19So George has had a great year.

01:20I think he's done a great job of catching the ball

01:22and then getting yards after and sparking us in that sense.

01:26But that's sort of just how I go about it.

01:29But definitely when you walk up and you

01:30see man coverage in situations, that's

01:32where it can be like, all right, I

01:34like my guy here in this situation or match up.

01:37And I'm going to do what I can to get him the ball.

01:39I think that's a little different.

01:40But when you're going through progressions against zone

01:42and things like that, it's different.

01:44I like what he's saying there.

01:46He basically, the whole idea of like, dude,

01:48just throw it to George.

01:50I think there are plays where he might say before the snap,

01:54that's likely to be where I go.

01:58I like this match up.

01:59I'm going to look there first.

02:01And so I'm going to lean in that direction.

02:02Obviously I'm not going to throw it

02:03if it doesn't end up being there.

02:05But there are a lot of plays where that's just not,

02:08that's not real quarterbacking.

02:09It's how I play Madden.

02:11I've told you that a bunch of times.

02:13I decide exactly where I'm going to throw the ball

02:15before the play starts.

02:16Cause I can't run through progressions

02:19on this gizmo in my hand, A, B, C, Z.

02:22What's the button on the underneath?

02:23X triangle, circle, R1, L1.

02:26I'm like, I got the guy in the left slot.

02:28That's the A button.

02:30That's where we're going.

02:31And if he gets picked, who cares?

02:33It's a video game, but this is real life.

02:35And Brock Purdy is not going to decide

02:38before the ball is snapped, where he's going.

02:41Because if he does that, I believe he becomes vulnerable.

02:44Defenders can read eyes.

02:46He becomes Jimmy, is what he becomes.

02:48And if you watch Jimmy G and all his film,

02:51he had a hard time going from one receiver to the other

02:54and working through progressions.

02:55And all you have to do is go back

02:57and look at the Bears tape.

02:58And I look forward to Greg Cosell tomorrow

03:00breaking this down.

03:01I didn't see a lot of plays where Brock had to go

03:04to a second or a third read.

03:06A lot of his stuff was just open.

03:09He'd get back and he'd look at his primary read,

03:12boop, and it was George.

03:13And George was open.

03:14And a lot of the plays that they called

03:16were screens to George.

03:17And those were plays where Debo ran down the field

03:21to draw the defense away.

03:22And then George kind of slipped out

03:24and he had three blockers in front

03:26and it worked like a charm.

03:27Yep, yep.

03:27Those were, I mean, again, I said it yesterday.

03:29Two of the biggest plays.

03:31I thought Sunday was Kyle Shanahan's

03:33best play calling performance of the year.

03:36All right, then what about the aforementioned Debo Samuel?

03:39And the issue of his social media comments yesterday,

03:43I'm not playing poorly.

03:45I'm just not getting the ball.

03:48Purdy addressed that.

03:50I mean, Debo and I talk all the time

03:51and he's like one of my best friends on this team.

03:54Like, I absolutely love Debo

03:56and what he's done for me and helping me out.

03:58We talk all the time.

03:59And yeah, I think he's right.

04:02Like, he's doing great right now

04:04with what we ask of him in the offense.

04:06And he's not struggling.

04:07Like I've said before about, you know,

04:09like guys like Ricky or last year

04:11with Iyuk for a little bit.

04:13Like, there's just moments, I guess,

04:15throughout seasons where, you know,

04:17guys just don't get the ball.

04:18You know, just depending on like scheme

04:20or like what the defensive scheme is

04:22and, you know, them taking guys away.

04:24So I wanna get Debo the ball every play if I could.

04:28I wanna have him break all the records as best as possible.

04:32I want Debo to do Debo things

04:34and we all do in this building.

04:35So it's just how the games have gone,

04:38but I love my guy and I'm gonna do everything I can

04:40to, you know, get him the ball, so.

04:41Yeah, I mean, not a surprising answer

04:43that Brock is going to find a way to back his guy,

04:47to try to throw water on the whole thing.

04:49And again, there's a piece to me at least

04:52to what Debo is saying that has some truth to it.

04:55But I also think that that's wrong time to say it,

04:57wrong way to say it.

04:58Yeah.

04:59I don't think Debo has lost a step.

05:02I've told you that a bunch of times.

05:03I can't really quite put my finger on exactly

05:07why the production has been so different.

05:10I just personally don't put it on that

05:13because he looks just as fast to me.

05:15He still looks like he's got his burst.

05:17He's just not getting the ball in space.

05:20But that does not mean that Twitter and I'm doing great,

05:24but I'm not getting the ball.

05:26You could have said it.

05:28Option one would be say nothing.

05:30But option two, you could have said it.

05:32I'd just say it a little bit differently.

05:34Then I'm not getting the ball.

05:36I just don't know the productivity in that.

05:38But Brock's answer is not surprising.

05:40Kyle talked about it too.

05:42Yeah, I do think that Debo,

05:43I don't know if he's lost a step,

05:45but he doesn't look to be as explosive in scrimmage plays.

05:49Now you look at him in kick returns

05:50when he's able to get the kick off and get ahead of steam.

05:53Yeah, he still looks as fast as ever

05:55when he's able to build up ahead of steam.

05:57And I was looking at all of his plays yesterday

06:00as I went through the game one more time.

06:02And one of the most frustrating runs

06:04was when he was in the backfield in the pistol

06:08and Brock gets the snap and he hands it to him.

06:11And they actually had run a play

06:12where they're pulling Dominic Poonie

06:14from the right side over to the left side.

06:16So it's a guard pull on a shotgun snap or a pistol snap.

06:21So he gives it to Debo and Poonie comes around

06:24from the right side to the left side of the formation

06:27and Poonie just whiffed on his block.

06:29So Debo gets the ball and he goes right behind Poonie,

06:33right in the hole that Poonie was supposed to create

06:35and Poonie just missed.

06:37And the defender, the linebacker came right through

06:39and pow, hits Debo at the line

06:42or behind the line of scrimmage.

06:44And you can see the frustration from Debo

06:46because that was a play that if Poonie would have hit

06:48his block, Debo would have been able to get

06:50to the second level and actually do something

06:52with the ball for a change.
