Chiefs coach 'can't find weakness' in 49ers QB Brock Purdy
Kansas City Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo hasn't changed his opinion of San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy.
Spagnuolo had a ton of praise for Purdy after Super Bowl LVIII, going as far as to seek out the QB's phone number to reach out individually. Purdy's performance in 2024 has only solidified Spagnuolo's thoughts on the 49ers' signal caller.
The Chiefs' defensive coordinator spoke with reporters Thursday and said he can't find a weakness in Purdy's game.
"I can’t find a weakness in this quarterback," Spagnuolo said via ESPN's Nick Wagoner. "Every time I put the film on, I’m more and more impressed."
Perhaps Spagnuolo is simply trying not to enflame an already big Super Bowl rematch. However, given his praise for Purdy immediately after the game and Purdy's strong start to the 2024 campaign, it's tough to imagine he's being entirely untruthful.
On the other hand, if there was something Spagnuolo thought he could exploit with the 49ers' QB, he wouldn't divulge that in a press conference.
So far this season there's not a glaring weakness in the way Purdy has succeeded. Teams have tried heavily blitzing him. Teams have tried not blitzing him. They've taken away the middle of the field. They've forced him to scramble. There's nothing in particular that jumps out as the secret to beating the 49ers' QB.
If there is a secret to doing so and Spagnuolo has it, the 49ers would love to have it come out in Week 7 instead of later in the regular season or in the playoffs.
