I watched San Francisco/Baltimore again last night.

The Ravens did a masterful job disguising where their pressure was coming from and messing with Purdy’s programmed reads.

And yes, two of his picks in that game were tipped passes, but he threw at least one more that should have been intercepted (it hit the defender in the face mask) and another that really should have been (ball placed behind Samuel on a slant, tipped by him, hit DB in both hands).

This San Francisco offense is the same design it has always been; it just has better skill position talent than Shanahan has had. And Purdy is slightly better than Garroppolo.

If you get them off script or mess with the QB’s initial reads, you’re in business.

And Spagnuolo, whose defenses have consistently performed well against the Shanahan/McVay school of offense, is one of the best around at messing with reads and getting teams off script.
