Kyle Shanahan on Purdy: 'The poise, the competitor, everything. It was all real. To me, it was, ‘All right, this dude you can trust.’”
Still, Shanahan felt like he had no choice but to go with Plan B. As his players were getting ready to spill onto the field, he was changing the plays to something Johnson could handle.Most assume he was hurt on the opening snap, when Buccaneers safetyclobbered him for an 8-yard sack. It may have been Purdy’s worst play of the season because he’d changed the call at the line of scrimmage — “Hey! Can! Can! Can!” — to something he shouldn’t have.
The injury happened on the next series on a third-and-11 play in which Purdy scrambled to his right. He’s never been the type who safely slides for the first down. He’s always dived. “He did it all the time,” said his father, Shawn, who was watching from the stands that day. “In fact, he would tell his brother , ‘You need to dive — get that extra yard.’ And then last year, his brother, in the Michigan game, sort of got caught in between a dive and a slide and broke his ankle.”
Brock Purdy committed to a full dive against the Buccaneers, and it ended up costing him, too. Just as he extended his body at the sideline, Neal arrived and thumped him in the lower left side of his back. The blow left Purdy with a broken rib, though no one suspected it at the time, including Purdy.The quarterback immediately popped up and pumped his fist because he thought he’d picked up a first down. The 49ers coaches didn’t know anything was amiss. Neither did Purdy’s parents.
