It's not like Jimmy never got these routes up the sideline called for him - they've been there. But Brock has a willingness to target them, bypassing on the underneath route, even when pressured.

Yeah, both Trey and Purdy have shown to be more aggressive and keep their eyes downfield than jimmy. Jimmy wasn't too good at those deeper passes and I think he knew that, hence why he constantly passed theM up.

i love the accuracy Purdy has shown for the most part on his more aggressive passes, although he got lucky on a few bad reads into double coverage etc.

No doubt. But I think its natural for a young QB to be more bold and aggressive esp. off script. That often times can get coached out of players though over time or modified for other reasons (Alex and Jimmy). I think Kyle will continue to dial up his 1 or 2 calculated (higher %) deeper shots per game just the same. It sounded like Brock started missing quite a few primary reads as time went on. That's my only concern (aside from health and post surgery arm strength). It takes trust and conviction in the bigger plays; confidence. As Kyle refines the play book for Brock and as Brock focuses more and more on executing what Kyle draws up, will he lose some of that aggression and ad lib tendency? I believe in Brock esp. b/c of his processing speed and ability but it's something to watch for.

Yeah, I hope Kyle takes notes from Kerr and lets the player be himself - like he does with curry/klay. Even if it's traditionally considered "not safe" etc. you have to let a player be themselves within your system, as long as it's working.

i think kyles system totally bogged down jimmy and his natural instincts. He looked much slower than he did in 2017, idk how much was the acl though

I think that was more Scangarello than Kyle, because Griese improved Jimmy from the year before.

Definitely possible, might be a combination of it all, who knows. He definitely looked slower out there decision making and aggressiveness though form 2017, probably because he was out there playing backyard ball.

it's why I think he will have a great year in LV in that system.

Agree, but I'll just point out that he was injured in that system too. Jimmy's a great QB, but for his durability.

Yeah, whoever has him starting needs to have a great o line. Lol poor guys body just breaks.

he's one tough SOB though, he played through some very serious injuries here. Only time he didn't play was
when he literally couldn't, mad respect for that. He never sissied out

i think it will be too much for him.

He had trouble getting to his 2nd read and is why he forced a lot passes to the middle. He had less responsibility.. now giving him more critical calls will just be too much to handle

It's more confidence in his receivers versus his confidence in what Kyle is drawing up, in my opinion. Remember even when Kittle is covered, he's open. Brock is much more mobile than Jimmy, and therein is the difference between Brock and Jimmy. Brock can save some of those bad calls by Kyle with his mobility.

I think his injuries kind of held Jimmy back from improving. If you can't play and get synchronicity and chemistry with your receivers, you can tell. It's a game of inches and those inches eradicated a lot of plays because of Jimmy's lack of playing time with his receivers. If Emanuel Sanders and Jimmy had played with each other for more than a couple of years, the way Dwight, Joe, and Rice did - that's a TD.

Yeah, Jimmy has a great release and very accurate in the middle. Very hard to stop.

Kyles system constantly opened it though with using decoys. Especially with CMC. He opened up our system a lot. Literally the perfect guy for this system.

Imagine if we add LaPorta to this offense? I was half-joking when I said, with Porta, Kittle, CMC, Juice, Deebo, Aiyuk and Jennings, Brock may never need to throw further than 7 yards ever again. LOL

That could very well end up being the case. That's what makes this experiment so intriguing to me. We'll concurrently get to see Brock adjust as well after an off season of game planning built for him (e.g. is he thinking more? Or are he and Kyle in perfect sync?).

It was easy to see too. There's a lot of thinking going on even if a good chunk of that is placed on the C.

That said, Brock seems to have an exceptionally high football IQ too. In addition, he gets to learn it Kyle's way from the start and not have to unlearn poor habits, offense, tendencies. I believe in the kid!

Paralysis by analysis would be my guess. I think it's natural given he's learning WHILE playing and doing his best to stay on script b/c the stakes were so high later in the season and through the playoffs. A little less ad lib and being risky. "Just don't lose it" mentality.

Probably just him seeing new defenses. The cowboys did a really good job against him and I think it's partially a great defensive gameplan and they were a super speedy defense.

I think he will come into this season much improved and more decisive because he has time to review the games and work on things like footwork to improve timing with different receivers. Get a better grasp of kyles system.

these OTAs are huge for installing game plans and asking questions etc. something he didn't get as a rookie because he wasn't drafted yet, or only partially got, plus the draft period has to be a whirlwind.

I'll take any awesome TE to pair with him. We need someone else who is a receiving threat and blocking threat. It would open up a whole other set of formations we could run multiple plays off of.

He had trouble getting to his 2nd read and is why he forced a lot passes to the middle. He had less responsibility.. now giving him more critical calls will just be too much to handle

That could very well end up being the case. That's what makes this experiment so intriguing to me. We'll concurrently get to see Brock adjust as well after an off season of game planning built for him (e.g. is he thinking more? Or are he and Kyle in perfect sync?).

I thought Brock started to hold the ball a little longer since the LV game. not sure what it could be

Probably just him seeing new defenses. The cowboys did a really good job against him and I think it's partially a great defensive gameplan and they were a super speedy defense.

I think he will come into this season much improved and more decisive because he has time to review the games and work on things like footwork to improve timing with different receivers. Get a better grasp of kyles system.

these OTAs are huge for installing game plans and asking questions etc. something he didn't get as a rookie because he wasn't drafted yet, or only partially got, plus the draft period has to be a whirlwind.

Agree, he was playing some of the best defenses in the NFL during the playoffs.

Naturally. But everyone in the world knew Kyle/Jimmy would be attacking the middle of the field and they still couldn't stop it, esp. on 3rd downs (Brock too). So maybe it doesn't matter. LOL

Yeah, Jimmy has a great release and very accurate in the middle. Very hard to stop.

Kyles system constantly opened it though with using decoys. Especially with CMC. He opened up our system a lot. Literally the perfect guy for this system.

Imagine if we add LaPorta to this offense? I was half-joking when I said, with Porta, Kittle, CMC, Juice, Deebo, Aiyuk and Jennings, Brock may never need to throw further than 7 yards ever again. LOL

Who's LaPorta? What position?

Top Iowa TE to pair with Kittle!

I'll take any awesome TE to pair with him. We need someone else who is a receiving threat and blocking threat. It would open up a whole other set of formations we could run multiple plays off of.

Kyle would destroy every LB in the entire league with Kittle and Kittle 2.0. Easiest pass for a QB too.
