In context
PelisseroMcCaffrey has been okay to this point, but like, you know, the big McCaffrey games are coming and Purdy's playing an MVP level.
PelisseroI think that the 49ers are a dangerous team. You know how good they're going to be defensively. You also are facing a team that's got some familiarity this week, not just because Mike McDonald has gone against Kyle Shanahan a number of times now, but also Seahawks offensive coordinator, Brian Flurry, trained under Kyle Shanahan.
PelisseroSo you've got to think Kyle is huddling with Raheem and going through all the things he thinks and all the tells he might be finding on tape. I think that's a really interesting subplot to this game.
PelisseroKyle's one of the best coaches in the NFL. We all know the one thing that he doesn't have. Right now they're 4 -0 and they're playing great and it's not a fluke. let's see what they do with a really challenging game this week. Billy, your main character, week five, Sunday in the NFL.
