Brock Purdy was the talk of the town when he led the San Francisco 49ers in the second half against the Miami Dolphins. However, the next challenge for this 22-year-old Quarterback is to lock horns against Tom Brady’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who are on the backs off a terrific comeback victory against New Orleans Saints.
While many are excited for Purdy vs Brady’s unpredictable matchup – Stephen A. Smith feels that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are going to much more prepared than Miami Dolphins, as they had time on their disposal. To be precise, this si what he said on the latest episode of First Take.
“You can’t have Tom Brady dropping back to pass and throw 50 times not against these brothers. And I think that that’s a that’s a situation that’s incredibly daunting for them now to have a base defense on no slouches. And when you take into account the fact that it’s Purdy and now you’ve got a week of film to watch on him, so you might be better prepared for him than Miami was okay, because they didn’t expect and anticipate going up against them and until Jimmy Garoppolo got hurt.”
He added, “You got a situation where San Fran I’m sorry, Tampa Bay might have a little bit more familiarity with him and what he can do. But you still got debo, you still got George Kittle you still got those cats?”
That being said, Niners are still a strong defensive unit, something which the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be keeping an eye upon. Given that they will lock to stop Tom Brady’s men just like Saints in the first 3 quarters in Week 13, there could be no shortage of action.
“Of course, Christian McCaffrey will call Shanahan call the plays getting into football out of his hands. So I expect San Francisco to put up some points. Maybe not a boatload of points.”
