Purdy's 20 rushing attempts for 122 yards and mobility threaten Seattle's pass rush if not finished.

Purdy is much more dangerous once a play breaks down; he has the ability to escape the pocket, extend plays and pick up yards with his legs. Through four games, Purdy has already rushed 20 times for 122 yards and a touchdown. The source notes that Seattle has already seen quarterbacks hurt its defense with their legs this season (Drake Maye rushed seven times for 47 yards in Week 1; Justin Herbert ran six times for 40 yards in Week 4). Seattle cannot allow Purdy to turn third-and-long into a scramble drill; pressure must become sacks, not just hits or hurries, because allowing Purdy to escape pressure and still complete the play is almost as damaging as not pressuring him at all.
