Steve Young highlighted the 49ers' need for improved red zone efficiency, stating, "It is red zone, red zone efficiency, and touchdowns. Every field goal brings you closer to losing..." He emphasized that scoring touchdowns is critical for their playoff prospects.
Young expressed concern for the current efficiency level, mentioning, "We need seven. And in the big games, obviously, that's the difference-maker." He believes that every red zone conversion must aim for a touchdown.
He urged quarterback Brock Purdy to utilize his running ability more effectively, stating, "Purdy owns an 86.4 run grade from Pro Football Focus this season... doing so in the red zone could be a game-changer."
The 49ers aim to return to last season's form where they achieved a 68% red zone touchdown success rate, the highest in the NFL, and anticipate Christian McCaffrey’s return will spark this performance.
