“Right now, I’m still trying to see this offense and how we play football and why calls are being called through Kyle’s lens,” Purdy said. “That’s where I’m at. Obviously, his system has been very successful. So I want to see it how he sees it …”

“During the week, we talk about these situations, and I’m ready and we’re on the same page. He calls this play and it’s like, ‘All right, I know why we’re running this play.’ But there have been times in games where he’s called a play, and we haven’t been on the same page. I feel like that’s just the young Brock in me. I drop back and I try to make a play, and then I come off and he’s like, ‘Dude, just check it down here.’ Or, ‘We’re trying to hit the backside concept to set up third-and-short.’”

SNIP

Purdy is working to not determine before the snap where he will throw. It’s what (QB Coach Brian) Griese terms a “fundamental no-no” in an offense in which pass plays have a timing and rhythm designed to influence the defense.

“It’s like, ‘Don’t rush to think that you’re right and get to this guy as quickly as you can,’” Purdy said. “We have progressions for a reason. There’s concepts of routes ran on the backside for the timing of the play. So you don’t just drop back and get rid of it. You go through the read, let it time out and then you’re in time to hit it.”
