From the episode

Purdy checks into that because the front that Seattle is in, they have like a two eye just inside the left guard. And then the next guy on the defensive line is like way out in the D gap. And Purdy's like, well, shoot, let's just run it into the gap.

Positive signalUsage

McCaffrey's TD runs show 49ers' improved run-game execution vs. Seattle.

McCaffrey scored a touchdown on a check-down run where Purdy recognized Seattle's defensive front alignment and audibled into the gap; the source notes 'Purdy checks into that because the front that Seattle is in, they have like a two eye just inside the left guard' and 'they climbed to a well and had some really good combo blocks and they got him into the end zone.' McCaffrey also had an 11-yard touchdown run where 'Evans is so condensed on that play that he almost becomes a tight end the way that they're blocking it.' The 49ers' run game showed marked improvement, with a 47.8% success rate on blocked-box runs in this game versus 17.6% in the playoffs and 25% in Week 18.
