The Mina Kimes Show featuring Lenny on Brock Purdy

PodcastIt’s Brocktober! Previewing Week 4October 1, 2026

From the episode

I was actually looking at Purdy's numbers last year, which I didn't realize last year, he was 27th in EPA per play against the blitz so far this year. He's first.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Purdy ranks first in EPA per play against blitz; massive year-over-year improvement.

Purdy has dramatically improved against the blitz this season; he was 27th in EPA per play against the blitz last year but is now first in the NFL through three weeks. This elite performance against aggressive defenses suggests the 49ers can handle Denver's blitz-heavy approach in Week 4.
