49ers Stuff…

We just need him to at least try. I know he has it in him because he was a willing tackler in the first Eagles game.

But in Monday's game, you can make an argument that Diggs made more of an effort to avoid contact/hits than Tom Brady.

Less. Tom tried to slide tackle

Incredible that a team that is starting Jaylon Smith is going to play in a divisional round game.

13 carries 27 yards. In a playoff game. Stat line against the Bucs for Zeke. Pathetic.

Throw him in there in goal line and short yardage, but you gotta put your best back out there in a do or die situation. Pollard should get 75% of the carries. TP ran the ball 2 more times than Zeke and had 50 more yards.

I guess this means the gameplan is to attack him.

Contractual implications if the star on the cup is not perfectly aligned with the camera

How the Cowboys can stop Brock Purdy
By Clark Dalton | Last updated 1/19/23


Stopping surging 49ers rookie quarterback Brock Purdy presents a challenge for the Cowboys, but he has an Achilles' heel: an inability to hit targets who aren't wide-open.

According to CBS Sports, in a 41-23 wild-card round victory over Seattle, Purdy completed 9-of-20 passes when his targets didn't get five or more yards of separation. Purdy completed 9-of-10 passes when targets did get five or more yards.

The 49ers creating space is partially why the seventh-round pick out of Iowa State broke out. Per Next Gen Stats, four San Francisco wideouts average three or more yards of separation, the most in the league.

The Cowboys must take note because it gives defensive coordinator Dan Quinn a template he can use to stop Purdy, one that uses tight coverage against WRs.

Per The Atheltic's Ted Nguyen, Seattle focused on stopping San Francisco RB Christian McCaffrey, so it ran more spot coverage. Spot coverage is a concept where a player watches the QB and tries to break on the ball when he releases it instead of focusing on the WR's route.

It was Seattle's downfall. 49ers HC Kyle Shanahan used play-action to combat it, creating open targets for Purdy. Off play-action, he completed 8-of-13 passes, threw three TDs and posted a 145.0 passer rating.

Consequently, Dallas needs to avoid this scheme and run man-to-man coverage or other variations of zone coverage instead.
While it may leave them a little more susceptible to the run, slowing Purdy is a top priority. San Francisco is 6-0 with Purdy as its starter. The 49ers scored 30 points or more in five of his starts.

However, simply being aware of Purdy's tendencies give Dallas an edge.

Their WR's arent especially amazing either, you have Deebo and a bunch of schlubs, kind of similar to us with Lamb. Those 5+ yards of separation are more from design than overwhelming talent, design that is mostly based on play-action and run fakes.

If we can limit the run, and thus limit their ability to work as much play-action off of it, we should be able to get some stops and make some plays on some poorly thrown balls from Purdy.
