Might be time to ask some tough questions in the off season. Not in the shouty show burn it all down kind of way but if the powers that be decide everything is just fine with the scheme and personnel and hope for better injury luck next year, we're in for some chop. Last year, this was the 3rd least injured team according to Adjusted Games Lost (AGL) so not likely to be sustainable. Sorry this was kind of a wet fart of a game and a season, JT.
3:15 Clicky footwork. You mention his footwork and mechanics several times later; seems like an off season tune up wouldn't hurt.
7:30 weakside inside zone, no way the wing was ever going to get there. Unless there was a mistake sorting it out as 3 crept down, it's an odd schematic choice.
11:40 Deebo cursive U route. Lol. Is it a foregone conclusion that he's gone after this season? Whatever I think of him as a human aside, his tape has looked rough. Looked like a shitty route in 2022 against the Dolphins too. The drop sucks obviously but continued lack of explosiveness on tape, inconsistent effort, and being dogshit against man coverage is the on-field red flag.
16:40 7 step drop under center. Is Martz hiding under one of those raincoats? You've made a pretty good case in past videos why it's tough to live in that world. Also, Emily and I are both demented AF so not too soon. Lmao.
21:35 3rd down sack. What does the jump checkdown technique actually add? Both Young and Purdy are on the shorter side so is it to see over the OL? Seems unsound even though the next one goes his way.
25:00 Y cross with an in and looper return. Nice to see bright spots in the drop back game. Multiple runaways.
32:00 Mudder time. Festivus pole is in the crawl space and ready to go. Nice tricks of the trade insights. I wasn't the biggest fan of every aspect of his game but learning from Favre must've been a massive value add.
40:00 First play of 2nd half. Pretty sweet, Bob (Thanks, I'll be here all week). Why couldn't they live in this world? 19 runs all game. Damn. Missing big 71 real bad. Might need to add a few guys in the off season.
43:00 Seems so strange to have the hot on the other side of the field from the 1st read. Only takes once and Purdy is on IR.
47:00 Watch out, we got a golf pro over here. Never got into golf; played a few times over the years but it always fucked up my baseball swing, which is good lol. Took lessons as a teenager from local guy who spent a couple years in the pros. Sassanella was his name I think.
57:00 Nice breakdown of why and when motion is appropriate.
58:00 Chef's kiss or Dr. Brule kiss? Why not both?
Armchair GM time: Easy decision to give Purdy the bag. Deebo looks washed. Ride Kittle until the wheels fall off. Definitely time to upgrade the OL and make sure there's an answer for when 71 runs out of gas. More touches for Pearsall but seriously concerned for Aiyuk's future; unhappy triad is no joke, even with modern treatment options. Mason/Guerrendo seems workable if both McCaffrey's achilles explode. Jonathan Taylor would be amazing in this offense but that might not be in the cards (and would break our hearts lol).
Thanks for the breakdown, JT. Last few videos you've sounded a bit under the weather. Feel better and take care

Thank you for this one. I don’t like the 49ers, but I really like watching him play.

Thank you JT, it was a rough one to watch but I appreciate you taking the time. Purdy is getting a lot of blame for this loss but it wasn’t all on him. Every part of the offense failed.
