55 | BROCK PURDY IS COOKING...THE 49ERS ARE BREAKING! | Grit Code Podcast
Rod and Donte break down a wild win that saw Brock Purdy deliver 4 touchdowns and continue to make his case as one of the best quarterbacks in football right now. But the win came at a cost. Mike Evans, Trent Williams, Dre Greenlaw, Grayson Halton and Deommodore Lenoir all dealt with injuries, while the defense is already trying to figure out life without Nick Bosa.
How many injuries can this roster actually survive?
The fellas dive into Brock Purdy’s huge performance and MVP-level start, why the offensive line deserves WAY more credit, and Kyle Shanahan being in his bag as a play caller. George Kittle puts the Superman cape back on when the receiver room gets thin, Deebo Samuel shows he’s still got the speed, and Jordan Watkins may have finally started earning the trust of Purdy and Shanahan.
Then it’s over to the defense. The interior run defense continues to be a problem, Dre Greenlaw proves once again just how important he is next to Fred Warner, Grayson Halton continues to flash, and the lack of Nick Bosa raises a much bigger question: can this pass rush survive against better quarterbacks without making a move?
