Brock Purdy and the 49ers were nearly perfect offensively in their 35-13 win over the Dolphins on Sunday at Levi's Stadium. San Francisco already has put the NFL on notice with their high-octane offense, and while its defense labored early in Week 2, the unit limited the Dolphins' production. On this episode of "49ers Talk," co-hosts Matt Maiocco and Jennifer Lee Chan discuss just how far Brock Purdy has come since his 2022 debut against Miami, the impact of even more wide-receiver injuries, and which 49ers defender could bolster their interior line in the coming weeks if his practice window opens.-- George Kittle leads off the show 49ers' bend-don't-break defense put emphasis on bend WR room suffers another injury Mike Evans, Kyle Juszczyk discuss reading route trees and QB options Purdy's processing ability remains elite; Joe Montana, Steve Young vouch for it Looking ahead to Week 3 vs. Cardinals Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

It came as no surprise when 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan announced Wednesday that wide receiver De'Zhaun Stribling and tight end Jake Tonges would miss significant time following a rash of Week 1 injuries, given San Francisco's history.
