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.

Purdy's smug arrogance (and it just drips out of him) annoys me because he seems to think he's had things hard in SF.
Guy was favored in every game this year because the talent he has around him FAR outstrips his opponents. And he's faced mediocre, at best, defenses for most of the season and all of the playoffs.
Dude - do you really think you've seen ANYTHING that's going to help you out Sunday? Anything at all? I mean, apart from the strafing you got from Baltimore and even then, Baltimore's defense isn't as varied as ours. Moreover, I still don't think it's as GOOD as ours and I think the AFCCG supported that.
Put your humble hat on kid, because you haven't seen anything like you'll see Sunday.
