Pretty clear that Mac Jones is perfect for the system. Niners gonna have a real hard time finding what to do with him once Purdy comes back.

What a gutty performance by Mac. Short time to prepare for a start and he comes out balling with the backup WRs/TEs. Multiple tight window throws and took care of the ball. I only remember one pass that was put in harm's way. I think him keeping it simple by being quick to checkdown to CMC helps the offense so much.
24 catches for CMC in Mac's three starts. Don't know how many of those were checkdowns, but by using CMC in the passing game, it keeps the drive on schedule. The drive that led to the 59 yard field goal was clutch, starting at their own 2 yard line with the short passing game taking over for the ineffective run game.

Extension of the running game. It's what I was saying in the Brock thread…it's completely fine to take those "checkdowns" on 1st and 2nd down. Move the ball and it will open other things up, helps everyone get in rhythm, helps the OL, helps the QB. I would like Kyle it get the other RBs involved in the passing game as well

With more two deep coverage shells, the running game and short passing game is where teams need to attack as defenses look to take away explosives.

The Two-High Revolution Continues
The most significant trend shaping modern NFL defenses remains the proliferation of two-high safety looks. According to Next Gen Stats, the percentage of two-high safety formations on passing attempts has dramatically increased from 44% in 2019 to 63% in 2024, and this trend shows no signs of slowing in 2025.

Dawg!

One question: Could Brock play this way with all the guys that are missing?

Hmm, lost last week and didn't see it last season.

After hearing him speak, it's confirmed that McCorkle is an appropriate name for him. Dude can ball though.
