1. Brock Purdy finally got a normal offseason. And you can see — and hear — what he used it for.
2. Ricky Pearsall’s offseason tuning away from the facility will be monitored by the #49ers a bit more moving forward. Just to make sure he isn’t overdoing it. pic.twitter.com/5tWjNIbvPn

The NFL’s movement toward measuring first downs with technology instead of the traditional chain gang doesn’t fix everything, but it’s a step.

Once the ball is spotted, Hawk-Eye tells officials if it’s a first down. That will speed up the game and eliminate the few errors with the chain gang measuring.
