It appears the San Francisco 49ers’ training camp isn’t going as well as they expected. They had thought it would reflect how strong is their offensive line but it ended up showing their defensive line is better prepared.
That was proved after Brock Purdy– who is anticipated to lead the Niners to the Super Bowl victory in the coming 2024 season, recorded three interceptions as he struggled inside the red zone. After the training camp kicked in on July 24, they had their first red zone session this Monday (July 29) but it didn’t turn out great for the offense.
As the practice session began, Purdy threw an early interception after he evaded pressure by scrambling to his left. It was initially intended for tight end Logan Thomas but despite the ball being catchable, he couldn’t and linebacker Fred Warner successfully intercepted the ball in the red zone.
The second one came when the quarterback was in a non-red zone situation, where he was intending for a deep throw down the sideline by connecting with tight end Brayden Willis. But cornerback Deommodore Lenoir read the move from a distance and went for the ball. He succeeded by beating Willis to the catch point and made an impressive diving catch, which was rewarded as the ‘Play of the Day.’
The third one came the roughest for Purdy when he threw the ball in the direction of star wide receiver Deebo Samuel in the right zone. This time, the pass was intercepted by George Odum, who took the ball away from Samuel and finished the dominating defensive day.
Fan reaction to Brock Purdy’s three-interception at the camp
Even though Purdy didn’t have a bright day on the field, it was only the training camp and if viewed from a different perspective, it was rather good so the quarterback can ensure not repeat these mistakes during the matchups in the regular season. However, fans didn’t seem to view it in that way as they brutally criticised him on social media.
One fan wrote, “Most overrated player in the league,” while another wrote, “Window officially closed” referencing the Niners’ Super Bowl window with Purdy in the lead in the upcoming 2024 season. Here are some of the fan reactions:
As fans criticized the signal-caller, many took this opportunity to appreciate the defense by calling it the best in the league. However, it appears all the love that Purdy earned last season by making the run for the Super Bowl trophy while dominating the NFC was lost as he made some poor play calls on Monday.
