Brandon Aiyuk leads the NFL in separation but faces challenges in production due to defensive strategies that limit open throwing lanes for the 49ers.
Kyle Shanahan explained that teams are using zone defense against the 49ers, creating space for Aiyuk but limiting the opportunities for clear passes.
Aiyuk noted that defenses have adjusted their strategies against him, leading to a different game plan for both him and quarterback Brock Purdy this season.
Despite challenges stemming from a contract dispute that sidelined Aiyuk in spring and summer, his separation metric suggests potential for improved performance.
