Probably Brock's worst half as a 49er, but he got the least amount of help from his line as well.
Steve Young use to complain about passing lanes when his OLINE did not get the hands of the DL down.
Probably diverting blame from his 6-2 height compared to prototypical 6-4 or 6-5 guys.
Brock is even smaller, so lets hope we don't see more of that, but on the flip side if the DL is trying to get their hands up that will slow down the pass rush.
I think it is clear that the offense can be more explosive with Purdy, wonder if the training wheels will come off and Purdy will get more chances to attack the defense.
That may be the best pair of interior defenders in the league. They've been disrupting passing lanes all season. We don't hear about them much because their games have not been broadcast out here, however, if you get a chance to look at some of their games, you will see how good they are. Purdy will not face a tougher test this year.
