There’s no doubt that Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love is talented enough to put up points against any defense, and the San Francisco 49ers are well aware of his abilities. Most stick to the left side of the ball, but there aren’t many realistic scenarios where the Packers will stop the Niners when they have the ball.
We work together with our employees. matches. the experience The 49ers are a defensive team. That’s what they do and most opponents have done nothing about it. I want to highlight one lineup in particular today: a mismatch that favors the 49ers Very good empty condition
According to Sports Info Solutions, Brock Purdy threw 89 times during the regular season when the 49ers were free agents. At this point, the running backs are separated from the wide receivers, leaving the quarterback alone.Purdy’s completion percentage was below par at 63 percent, but he averaged a video game-like 11.2 yards per attempt.
With the combination of Deebo Samuels, Brandon Ayuk, Christian McCaffrey and George Kittle facing one side of the field, this lineup leaves the 49ers vulnerable. Jawan Jennings will be paired with one of the aforementioned players on the other side of the court.
One-on-one situations are guaranteed, and the defense is stuck spreading the field and unable to direct coverage in a specific direction.The result went in favor of the home team. This year, no team generated more yards, more yards per attempt or more EPA than the Niners. Another benefit of being loose is that many defenders turn their backs and drive yards after catching the ball.
This is a 49ers specialty. San Francisco will also have No. 15 instead of 84. Jennings is one of the key returning players in the playoffs. McCaffrey’s appeal deserves support. Teams will screw up their plans to double him, but if they do, they’re asking for a beat in coverage.
The same was true against the Eagles and Cardinals later in the season.But those who don’t support Purdy here might want to take a different view. Even though there have been no opposing results in 16 games, we still see the “QB system” and “check Charlie” ideas.One of Brock’s greatest strengths is his ability to play across a wide range of terrain.
In some cases, it becomes possible for the ball to be thrown deep and travel downfield. Sometimes you have to let Purdy fly into a level 3 trap.Purdy’s timing and accuracy will allow Shanahan to call looser formations. He is hard to defend and defenders tend to attack him. But when you have a quarterback who knows the offense and can read the picture the defense puts in front of him, you can get results from top to bottom.
The next example is my favorite because it tells us who Purdy is. Look at number 15 on the left Is open. Easy to photograph and store. This is an easy first step and will get you moving the chain. No, says Purdy. Security was irresponsible and paid.
Purdy’s instincts tell him to look deeper, and his inspection is average. At worst, you get cut. But that goes against what Purdy has been since high school. This is why the 49ers are favorites to win the Super Bowl. There are 10 play units in the playoffs and it’s unrealistic to expect them to be able to get up and down the field. Against a Packers defense that ranks eighth-worst in the NFL in yards allowed and yards from scrimmage, it’s reasonable to expect Shanahan to create loose formations that allow his players to succeed.
The Cowboys waited until late in the third quarter and had plenty of success. It’s game over by then, so whatever.Another area where the Packers have struggled is protecting their tight ends. He ranked 27th in DVOA. Kittle is averaging five receptions and 87 yards at home. Has at least 67 yards receiving in all but one of his home games.
The Packers ranked 23rd in QB rushing this season and allowed the most yards per attempt with 39. George Kittle’s 100m performance was recorded on Saturday night. Kittle wasn’t the only player to have a successful night. Additionally, the 49ers have a matchup advantage in this final fashion. Deebo Samuel’s teammate Casey Nixon became a free agent in 2019.
He is the quarterback of the Packers. On 89 targets this season, he has completed 80% of them with a passer rating of 101.4. Carrington Valentine starts against Jair Alexander. Drafted in the 7th round in 2023. He has allowed 11.6 yards per reception on 70 targets this season. These players are responsible for slowing down Ayuk and Deebo while Shanahan runs the offense.
