Our reading
Brock Purdy yelling at Kyle Shanahan wasn’t a dramatic clash of wills—it was just a quarterback fed up with a broken radio. Shanahan says it’s normal for play calls to get cut off after 15 seconds, and Purdy’s ‘Hey Kyle!’ was less a protest and more a plea for clarity. The 49ers have ‘go-to’ plays for when the communication fails. You’d think a team that’s 6-0 would have better tech than a middle schooler’s walkie-talkie. But here we are, watching a coach explain that the real issue was a headset that couldn’t keep up with a 30-13 win.
