Hutchinson: No one should be surprised about that 49ers loss
“Because the 49ers run an offense with “hots” — rather than trying to protect against all eligible rushers, the quarterback throws “hot” to a receiver when there’s pressure — teams turn up the pressure — frequently with overload blitz to target one side of the offensive line and those faulty protections — on the 49ers more than any other team. On third-and-mediums or third-and-longs, Brock Purdy has had to get the ball out quickly, often resulting in plays directed at option routes short of the sticks.
