How much of the field can Brock Purdy see, and why does quarterback processing matter?
You are listening to the Dan Levitar Show in partnership with the DraftKings Sports app. Now live in all 50 states.
Do I have it right when I say the following? Because I really do believe that most of the people covering this sport, even if they know a great deal, don't truly understand what it is we're watching on Sunday when Brock Purdy says that he sees where he's going to throw the ball 40% of the time, maybe, like that he's throwing to a spot and he's throwing to a spot.
Dan, how about we let Brock Purdy describe what he sees out there?
So my quarterback coach, Brian Greasy, the last couple of years, he and I talked about that. He played 11 years. His dad's Bob Greasy. But we got talking about how really it's 60-40. You can see about 60% of the time and the other 40%, you really can't. I mean, it doesn't matter how big or you are. I'm already short in stature, yes. But he goes, that's why it's so important when it comes down to knowing coverages, knowing scheme, where our players are supposed to be, how many steps they're breaking and where the ball should be over a certain backer. Like all those things, man, it matters. And that's why like guys, you know, if you go to a combine and all those things, you're just throwing on air and yeah, you look all good with a strong arm and fast jump and all that stuff.
But when it comes down to 11 on 11 and you got guys that are a foot taller than you and you can't see, it comes down to the processing. Like, Before the play, I know that the safety is probably going to rotate down. It's going to be one high, and I got one hitch, no more than that, to rip it where Debo's supposed to be just inside the hash, and there's a backer that's also got a 40-inch vert that I got to put up. That's what's crazy. All those things. When you fit it in over the backer and underneath the deep safety, I'm like, oh, my. And
he's elite in the middle of the field. Elite. Given all of that, are you guys stunned or surprised when I say, I think factually, that all but two of the games yesterday, I changed the result with a single pass interference call. Not just a fumble. With one pass interference call. Because that Denver Rams game is decided by what gets called or what doesn't get called. Terrible call. At the end.
Terrible.
Terrible
call. Terrible. Who you doing? Who you doing?
So that actually led me to my next take. And I saw this and there was like a tweet that went viral that the precision on a touchdown pass on Sunday night was it just skirted past a helmet. That if the dude were wearing a guardian cap, the window is eliminated. Oh, the waddle catch, right? Yeah, yeah. So here's my take. If you're on defense, forget player safety. You need to be wearing a guardian cap just to reduce windows. That's a good point. You have a social responsibility to your fans, a responsibility to your teammates. If you're on defense and there is something out there that can make these windows even smaller. If that ball hits the
guardian cap helmet and you think it can incompletely pass, you think the fans are going to say, oh, but he looks stupid? Nope. They're going to say, great breakup.
Do you guys understand what I'm saying when I say how silly whatever the analysis is the next day when I can change all but two of the results with a pass interference?
Dan, you can change more than that if everybody's wearing a Guardian cap. And not the standard one. I'm talking about the Alave edition.
T. Higgins had an amazing catch yesterday. Parker Washington had an amazing touchdown catch that was wiped off by penalty and then had a more amazing touchdown catch the next play.
What happened in the Texas-Tennessee game, and is Arch Manning a future No. 1 NFL draft pick?
My algo is all his post-game interviews. It's different from my
algo. You guys mentioned the Texas game this weekend and the Texas-Tennessee game, and you mentioned that Texas is good. Texas had 10 sacks in that game, had 12 tackles for loss, but I think what everyone is talking about is the pantomiming of going to the bathroom celebration where you're watching Texas and Tennessee. It's a pretty great game. There are two games.
