“I had hold my breath so I didn’t lose my mind.” One moment from the 49ers' second week of practice is burned in coach Kyle Shanahan’s mind: DL Clelin Ferrell’s hand came down towards Brock Purdy’s throwing arm in what ended up as harmless near miss.
SANTA CLARA — One moment from the 49ers' second week of practice is burned in coach Kyle Shanahan’s mind.
Thankfully, the play when defensive lineman Clelin Ferrell’s hand came down towards Brock Purdy’s throwing arm“I had hold my breath so I didn’t lose my mind,” Shanahan said. “I could see he was alright but, it’s human nature. The only way you can finish a sack is if you run, run and reach. And those guys do it and that’s why we have to get on them all the time not to do it, because it’s human nature.
As Purdy dropped back, Ferrell got pressure rushing into the pocket as the quarterback’s arm was moving forward. The pass rusher’s hand slapped the ball to the ground but missed hitting Purdy’s surgically repaired throwing arm by a fraction. Sign up for NBC Bay Area’s Housing Deconstructed newsletter.

That’s all we talk about.” suffering an injury to the ulnar collateral ligamentThe coach would like the team to find the balance between getting good work done on the field while also protecting each other from injury.
