I got a closet full of their stuff and I love it all right Time for an instant reaction as the Niners trample Seattle with a dominating second half. In fact, I am taping this with three minutes left in the game. That's when you know it's a blowout. The first half looked a lot like I thought it would. A thought Brock Purdy was a little tight expected first playoff game.

Before today, the last nine rookie quarterbacks who played their first playoff game where one and eight. He was a little tight. Shanahan maybe had been a little more restrictive than normal in the play calling. But you know, a couple series I wrote down some notes here, but the third series, he got his legs under him. He was confident, he was slinging it, he had composure, and the second

half was just a relentless Niners attack. You know, this morning, I'm looking on the internet and I don't even know why the media would would put this out there, but you know, we do what we do that, you know, Tom Brady the Niners. There's some potential discussions. I'm not sure, and again an offseason, looking at Brock pretty film, maybe people see all sorts of weaknesses. He doesn't have a power arm, his throws to the sideline. You know, he

didn't have a whip. He's not Herbert, he's not Mahomes, but he's basically free. He's more mobile than a Garoppolo or a Brady, Totally coachable, very competitive. Go look at what Iowa State has done since he left. Iowa State want to a lot of football games. For the four years he was starting. They were a disaster this year in the Big Twelve. And that's with a good coach, Matt Campbell. So he obviously has an impact in winning

and production and momentum. I mean, listen, when is the last time the Niners had this level of production at quarterback in the playoffs? It's ten years ago. Like it's Kaepernick. Kaepernick was Garoppolo's not mobile. Kaepernick had a couple of years there when he was running around and making the Packers miss. You didn't know what you had. You really didn't. You thought, is this are we looking? I mean, I was fooled. I was like, this is different, tall, lean, fast, strong,

power arm. Now Brock doesn't have a power arm, but this offense does not demand you make a lot of difficult down the field throws. It's not what it demands. That's my first takeaway that I think Brock Pretty's really unique. Now, maybe this is a lightning in a bottle. It's a magical run. We have an off season and people figure him out, But I don't know. I like what I see. Second thing is Deebo Samuel. John Middlcoff, who's on the Volume three and Out podcast, had a great tweet. He said,

Deebo Samuel's like Draymond Green. The biggest games tell me what matters, and he comes in like a heavyweight champ. You know, Deebo Samuel has been such a physical, crucial Niners player in these big, tough playoff games. He has such an impact justice physicality. When you watch the Niners. There's been a lot of physical defenses through the years,

and they're certainly qualifies. But between Debo and Kittle and Christian McCaffrey, I don't remember a running back, a wide receiver and a tight end on a singular team that played with that kind of physicality, they are a complete handful. I don't think anybody matches up with the Niners outside

of maybe Ladelphia in the trenches. Listen, Pete Carroll's a really good coach and at halftime, you know, have you seen the staff this year, or it's twelve or thirteen teams that have played San Francisco the following week, they either lose or don't cover the spread. Didn't Seattle look beat up midway through the third quarter? They look beat up. Even that late hit at the end of the first half of the Niners, which was a really big mistake, gave Seattle a field goal. It's just the way they play,

one inch from out of control. So the second half, I just didn't expect that the weather was not as bad as everybody was forecasting. I went and looked up two days ago the Bay Area weather and it was really bad this morning, wasn't bad by the end of the first quarter, and was fine in the second half. So there's just and listen, Gino has been a great story, but don't confuse great story with great player. Gino Smith has limited Seattle's got two first, two second, a third,

and two fourths. They're going to draft a quarterback. Chicago's not going to draft a quarterback. They're not going to take Bryce Young, I doubt, so that'll that'll leave Houston to take a Bryce Young. Seattle's got a Denver pick. You know, does somebody fall in their lap certainly possible. They'd prefer to get a corner or an edge rusher, but it wouldn't be a mistake getting a quarterback for Seattle with one of those picks. Gino has been a

great story. He's not a great player, not a great quarterback. And you know, my takeaway on this is what San Francisco did today. To beat a team, a playoff team a third time, a borderline Hall of Fame head coach, and to beat him like that that last taff of football for the Niners was just wow. And you know, circling back to brock pretty I really like his decision making when he rolls out. You know, there's a lot of quarterbacks when they move out of the pocket, their

accuracy dips, but he resets his feet. He's got really good quick judgment. He has what you know, I always love Sam Darnold, but Sam had really poor split decision judgment. Purdy's got so many college starts, and he's obviously been well coached at college and now the pros. He's got really good split second judgment. He knows when to fold him, he knows when to dirt it. He did that once.

He knows when to throw it for a rookie. He's got really good snap judgment over and over because there was some pressure, especially in the first half, from the interior of Seattle's defense. He resets his feet, he sees the field. I just there's a lot I like. You know, some of these guys, like a Taylor Heineke, you know, you see them and you come to terms very early

with That's not it. That's not somebody you're gonna build around. Listen, you gave up a lot of picks for Trey Lance, right, you gave up nothing and won't have to pay brock Purty for three or four years. I can see this organization sticking with him. I'm trying not to overreact here. Four touchdowns, I mean mobility, judgment, accuracy. Man, he's good. He's a good player. He is a good football player. The physicality, McCaffrey, Debo Kittle, the play calling. You get smart,

you get power, you get speed, get smart. That second half is just jaw dropping. It's hard to do that in the playoffs. You don't roll people like that. You've played a third time. Seattle knows everything they're gonna do. You're not fooling anybody the third time. You play him in the postseason. Congrats to the diners. That was a wow. That was a wow.
