Legends are made by having the courage to go right when everyone else goes left. This league has been pushing the passing game for so long, it was ripe for a genius run game play designer to come along and tear at its soft underbelly.
You've got that right.
I just think back to this gif and think how far Kyle has come.
I'll bet Kyle will be calling a lot of running plays against Pettine's GB defense in a couple of weeks!!!

Maybe, 70 yards away from the end zone with 0:00 on the clock brieda shouldn't try and gain an extra 2 yards. I think, with running backs, it's those extra yards you fight for that account for many unnecessary injuries.
Shanny probably saw the snap as an extra opportunity to set the defense up for a big play in the second half.
there was like 20 seconds ticking down, and i was just baffled we were running. I was like, "why are we running? why? why risk the injury potential??"
and lo and behold, Breida gets f**king swarmed for a loss and gets up limping. unreal. WHYYYYY
Sometimes things like that seem to be so FU--in' stupid.
What doesn't any of the reporters ask that question???
BrieDa could have surrendered, he pushed on.
The point some of us are making is he shouldn't have been in the game at that point.
Make no mistake, Luke Keuchley is a great player, one of the best LB's in the league and Kyle attacked him. He absolutely thrashed him. Like, specifically him.
I think it had to do with understanding how to defeat the core principles of CAR's defense. They want to funnel everything back to Keuchley and let him use his great ability. So, he was running so many misdirections right at LK that it was opening up a bunch of stuff. He had him running one way, they go another, then get him to run left and then right and prevent him from getting depth and throw it behind him, was crazy to watch how he went after one guy, even a great guy, because the opposing defense is so reliant and based upon him and his skilset.

Merciless, just like Walsh used to do to Singletary.
Oh, that's right Ron Rivera 85 Bears. Kuechly is his Singletary. Kyle is our Walsh

full video is better.... Mike Pettine was feeling himself, and wanted to look good on the mic... and Kyle gave him the Jedi s**t... and made him change his mind.

Not Brieda's effort.
All gas, no breaks. Fine with me, keep punching them in the mouth and they eventually quit. That's what happened this past Sunday. Brieda is fine, he's not seriously injured. U can't play the game scared.

Someone on Golic's radio show said that the 49ers have, to this point in the season, the most run plays of any team in the last 30 years. I believe they were quoting Elias on that. I'm sure some of that is our OT situation, but it's clear that Kyle likes to go against the grain too. When almost every team is doing one thing, doing something else is often beneficial.
That's what seems to set him apart from some of the other "genius" coaches. He know how to adapt and create trends rather than follow them. I'm not sure McVay can do that yet.
Special year my friends. Having a play caller and football savant running this offense, to compliment a defense that could go down as one of the NFL greats is magical to watch. I only hope the blowouts continue and our starters are resting comfortably on the bench in the 4th quarter to get it revved up for January. Go Niners!

To his credit, Harbaugh tried this when he was here as well, but he didn't have an evolved enough base scheme or the ability to adjust in-game when it stopped working, so it couldn't be sustained like Kyle's (seemingly) can. And if it stops working Kyle has a far better understanding of modern passing concepts to lean on.
Another thing I like about Shanahan is that he seems to have the right balance between telling players he's pleased when they make good plays but not fully satisfied unless they strive for perfection. After the 5-game winning streak in 2017 it was all about "we haven't accomplished anything noteworthy" in the 2018 offseason, which paid dividends when the 2018 offseason got derailed. It allowed him to keep the locker room and have guys continue to play hard because everyone knew they hadn't arrived in 2017 and were not going to be given anything. It's what has allowed them to treat each opponent in 2019 as a worthy adversary, because they know unless they continue to seek improvement it can crumble away from them quickly.
Contrast that with, say, the Browns and Kitchens this past offseason after they saw legit improvement in 2018 to 7-8-1. Instead of treating it as accomplishing nothing noteworthy and seeking continual improvement they assumed they had arrived and would be somewhat given a winning season in 2019. I'm not a huge fan of Greg Williams, but I think if they hired him as HC that would have been kept more in check, while Kitchens is already inspiring debate on whether he should be replaced.
Kyle is in good company. Here's our last 50 point games:
1994 50 vs Atl (papa Shanny OC)
1993 55 vs Det (papa Shanny OC)
1992 56 vs Atl (papa Shanny OC)
1991 52 vs Chi (Holmgren OC)
1989 55 vs Den (Holmgren OC)
