Where's Coach Walsh photo lying down talking about Miami back in the day.

BPs Dome record is 4-1 if I am not mistaken.

With how athletic Purdy is, I am honestly surprised Shanahan hasn't installed at least a few veer/option plays for him. Andy Reid did it with both Alex Smith and Mahomes. I think Purdy could do it no problem too.

That's a hard pass for me. He's not a runner so much as he is a good scrambler who has good awareness/vision allowing him to pick spots to use his legs. Plus he takes enough hits in the normal course of our pass game.

They ran a zone read with Brock in the GB game. It netted like 2 yards and made me poop my pants seeing him on a designed run.

Yea I almost referenced that play in my post.

It's simply a better idea to get the ball in our elite playmakers hands and have Brock take advantage of running opportunities in the traditional pass game.

Purdy knows when to run as well. There's no need to add more rush attempts. If our OL is getting killed and the defense is in man, he will take off.

Having said that... I would like to see some more boot action this game when the defense allows it. Just get him going one way and we know he's capable of adlibbing on those types of plays for big gains.

Vegas is a fast track.

Purdy needs to throw for 3 or 4 TDS for us to win

He can do it.

Definitely agree on the boot action. Chiefs really struggle against the outside zone I believe so this is an easy next step.

I'm not saying make it a staple lol. But it might be a nice surprise play once in a blue moon.
