Overview
- Through the first two games the 49ers have allowed zero sacks and been charged with just 11 pressures, giving Brock Purdy a consistently clean pocket.
- Purdy leads the NFL in completion percentage and QBR, with 492 passing yards, five touchdowns and one interception across the two-game stretch.
- Coach Kyle Shanahan says Purdy’s biggest growth is a deeper understanding of the offense’s “whys,” which helps him make faster, more confident reads at the line.
- Left guard Connor Colby rebounded from a poor Week 1 to earn an 86.3 pass-blocking grade in Week 2 and allowed no pressures on 27 pass-blocking snaps.
- The line’s protection has powered top marks in yards and points per drive, but the sample is small and upcoming matchups against stronger defensive fronts will determine whether the trend holds and sustains the 49ers’ balance between pass and run.
