00:00 Dane barber says will pretty ever have the fastball to beat man coverage can't throw lives in a space like you can versus in zone

00:06 Versus man. Okay. It's a great question. What do you think?

00:08 His arms never gonna be elite but

00:12 You can beat man cover. Here's the thing is there's just not many teams. I understand we look at Cleveland. We talked about it then

00:20 We saw it with Baltimore a little bit and we saw it at times with

00:25 Kansas City, there's just not many teams that can do this and have the corners to play that kind of man coverage

00:32 Down in and down out

00:34 but for the teams that can I think Brock's always gonna struggle against those teams just like he'll probably always struggle and in

00:40 inclement weather and

00:42 if that's your franchise guy, then those are things you're just gonna have to try to work around the best you can and

00:47 kind of hope that when he does struggle that he

00:50 Comes back and wins you a game like he did against Green Bay and plays well when it matters most but no

00:55 I don't think his arms ever gonna be requisite enough to just start throwing people open and tight man coverage

01:01 I don't think that's who he's ever gonna be. I

01:03 Think that's a real that's one of my

01:06 The most unfortunate thing we learned about Brock Perry this year. Most of stuff we learned about Brock pretty this year

01:11 Is that he's he's the truth

01:13 The rain thing sucks. Mm-hmm really wish that wasn't a thing for him because that you play in Northern, California

01:19 I

01:21 but

01:23 Tell the player the one thing about man coverage that I think he needs to start doing more

01:28 Yeah, he doesn't have the arm strength to run run dude run

01:33 Everyone's turned their back to you freaking run

01:37 You're really good at it. It's one of the main reasons the Niners won you won the NFC Championship game Brock

01:43 So that should have been something I think you went to more in the Super Bowl

01:46 That might have been a way that you could have won because it's definitely a way that Patrick Bollins won

01:51 The thing with man coverage though and these teams that play it really well is they can send an extra player at you and make

01:59 It really hard to run they can fill all the all the gaps and kind of stop your running lanes

02:04 And then they can get pressure on you. So now you're facing pressure and you've got to get it out in tight coverage

02:11 That's a really really that's hard

02:13 Most quarterbacks struggle with that not just quarterbacks with weaker arms, so it's not just a Brock pretty thing

02:18 But that's it's hard to do against that type of defense
