It is not Shanahan's scheme.
This is astounding to me. We can all get access to the All 22. We can see there are down the field routes called. Are you trying to tell me that Shanahan is telling his QBs to not throw to the open man if he is down field?
About the only possible reason beyond QB reads/preferences anyone could even attempt to argue os to claim that Shanahan doesn't trust Garoppolo's deep ball, but that is belied by the All 22 in which deep routes are called. As Shanahan uses progressions, it would be quite the stretch to claim Shanahan tells Jimmy to ignore the open man.
Is that what he has done in the past?

By the way, you'll note that I have pointed out repeatedly that Jimmy was tenth in the NFL last year in completed air yards per completion. It is in fact somewhat of a myth that the 49ers are only a rink and dunk offense.
No, IL not saying deep routes aren't called or that Kyle isn't telling Him to throw to the open man.
When it comes to the shanny quite you referenced earlier, if I remember right from that presser he said, "sure you'd always love for them to see the open guy for a bigger play but at the same time he went to his first read and it was open. I'm not gonna get on a guy for taking thr 1st read when it's open cause that's what we want and expect from our quarterbacks"
But when it comes to a lot of our deep sideline routes, theyre mostly alerts. That's just how it is. That's not me making up my opinion, that's what's in the playbook. That means the QB shouldn't be hanging on to those routes over going through his progressions.
Most of our deep routes that are in progressions are down the middle. You talk about the All-22, it's not like you're seeing time and again guys running wild behind the safeties down the middle. Believe me, if that were true guys like Jessie Naylor would be flooding Twitter with it.
As per the same game, ok, I don't care if it's the same game if it's a different coverage. Coverage dictates the throw, not that it was in the same game.
