“Got crazy lucky”- Nick Wright continues to downplay 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo

published

Jimmy Garoppolo is one player who simply doesn’t know when to back down. After being hit on his same knee which he got surgically repaired in 2018, the veteran Quarterback, who has single handedly held his team’s playoff hopes alive, lied on the floor in absolute pain.

This caused the penalty flag being waived in the air for the blatant roughing the passer by New Orleans Saints defensive tackle Malcolm Roach. Moreover, Brock Purdy was even told to warm up on the sidelines, looking at the condition of Jimmy Garoppolo, yet he remained determined to stay on the field.

It seemed like a pretty painful blow – just the way Roach’s helmet collided with Garoppolo’s left knee. The San Francisco 49ers’ signal caller said he never thought about coming out of the game, and that the physicality on Roach’s hit wasn’t the only play like that one.

Nick Wright wrote in his latest tweet, “Jimmy gonna Jimmy. Just got to wait and see when. Got crazy lucky with that penalty that had nothing to do with the pick.”

In a game where he was sacked six times and came out of it with major injuries. After a blowout win, it is safe to urge how Jimmy Garoppolo never wanted his team’s winning momentum to take a turn.

“No, I was staying in the game,” Garoppolo, who finished the game 26-of-37 for 222 yards and one touchdown said, as per MSN. “I knew what type of game it was. I mean that’s what it was all day. That wasn’t the only hit that was questionable like that. Throughout the whole game it was like that. That’s football.”
