49ers, Brock Purdy don't downplay Browns' sack artist Myles Garrett
"He's not just the Cleveland Browns' ultimate quarterback chaser and annihilator. He leads the NFL with 18 sacks, five shy of breaking the single-season record. Obviously, he's the best in the league with what he does, Purdy said before the 49ers' Wednesday practice. You have to have a game plan ready for him, and more than anything, understand you can't hold onto the ball too long."
"If he gets ample time Sunday when the 49ers visit the Browns, that likely will be thanks to left tackle Trent Williams, who noted that Garrett has lined up on his side 85% of the time this season. He gives you everything. He's one of the best who's ever played. And he has no weaknesses, Williams said. He wins about 95% of his reps. He's always on top of the quarterback. He's been like this a long time."
Brock Purdy is focusing on Cleveland's Myles Garrett after committing three interceptions against Carolina. Garrett leads the NFL with 18 sacks, five shy of the single-season record, and is regarded as the league's premier pass rusher. Purdy emphasized the need for a game plan and quicker releases to avoid Garrett's pressure. Left tackle Trent Williams noted Garrett has lined up on his side 85% of the time and praised Garrett's relentless ability and lack of weaknesses. Garrett recently recorded three sacks and two forced fumbles, earned AFC Defensive Player of the Week, and holds multiple All-Pro and Pro Bowl honors.
