Purdy's role shifts to balanced attack after pass-heavy 2025 season

Purdy's role is shifting from the pass-heavy approach that defined the 49ers' 2025 season. With Brock Purdy at the helm, San Francisco had more confidence in its passing game at all levels, which was both a strength during the regular season and a downfall against the Seahawks defense. However, Week 1 showed a return to a run-first approach (174 rushing yards on 30 carries), suggesting Purdy will operate in a more balanced, ground-oriented system against Miami despite the 49ers' continued passing game efficiency.
