Kyle on why Lance is no longer used in packages mid-game.
"It's more about me to tell you the truth," Shanahan said. "In terms of calling plays, We get into a rhythm of attacking a defense and what fronts they are playing and what coverages. Every play kind of plays off the next play and you get a feel, our players do and I, of what we are going to."
"What's been hard on me, that I didn't realize, is when you do bring in a different quarterback who gets a different set of plays, it's almost the first play I've been seeing of a new defense," Shanahan said. "You see what fronts and coverages they are doing but they are doing it completely to a plan as a threat of the runner at that position.
"I don't know what to anticipate with it, and then I got to stay in it for a while to get a feel for that. And then you go back and that feels kind of off for the last guy, so it kind of hurts my rhythm a little bit of understanding what a defense is getting. That's why personally as the year has gone I've gotten a little more away from it because I like to get a feel for what the defense is doing."
Which makes sense. I think he would've been used at least in the RZ since that wouldn't really take him out of his flow, but the fact that our RZ offense has also looked good with Jimmy hasn't been needed. If we have a couple games where the RZ offense isn't clicking that well, I think we will see a bit of Trey in that role. But for now, it's not broke so no need to fix it.
The only time we've failed to score in the RZ all year was when Lance got smacked at the goal line vs the Cards. That's crazy.
