49ers Head Coach Kyle Shanahan Thread

All in all, I think my only major complaint at the moment is CMC's usage.
23 touches against the Rams and 25 against the Steelers is a bit much... Would hope we can get him in the 15-20 range during the regular season. Save that heavy usage for the playoffs.

Shanahan explained the substitution process today. It's just odd to me that we have both Anthony Lynn as RB coach/Assistant HC, AND Bobby Turner, RB coach. They certainly have two talented RB coaches that can communicate with Shanahan on the rotation on gameday.

Jordan Mason my understanding dressed 2 games
and has 0 offensive snaps, strictly special teams

I think we can strike a better balance here, CMC is the dude, but these other guys can have more of a gameday role so they are dialed in to what we are doing offensively, and CMC is kept a lil fresher.

I'm guessing because of how close the GSM was against the Rams, Kyle most likely wanted to put the ball In the hands of his best player as much as possible.

Hopefully we'll see more of Mason and Mitchell against the Giants.

Keep those Rbs health, Kyle.

Love our coach. Honestly you couldn't get me to take any other at this point. I'd consider Reid but Bill is at the end, and hell no to Payton.

We've got our coach, and we have him for decades if we play it right.

ONE DAY.. may be ... just one day.. he may become the BEST REGULAR SEASON COACH EVER..

Still beats being the 6th best coach in the Big 10.

I'm sticking with this. Mcvay had his team way more ready to play than shanahan.

Gonna have to respectfully disagree. Kyle had a bunch of excellent designed gimmies which worked throughout the game, and McVay couldn't figure out how to stop them. How many swing screens, quick screens and reverses does it take before you start recognizing what the opponent is doing to you and adjust? Kyle used their speed on defense against them and they never figured it out.

You can tell which coach made the better half time adjustments. The one who won.

It always blows my mind that Shanahan is able to throw out so many effective screens. He times them pretty well in his playcalling.

One thing I'll point out, against the Steelers we scored 30 and put up 391 yards of offense. 1 turnover.
Against the Rams, we scored 30 and put up 365 yards of offense. 0 turnovers.

For perspective... The 2022 league leader in points averaged 29 points per game (Chiefs). Last season, we were the #5 offense in yardage, with 360 yards per game. The Chiefs were #1 with 405 ypg, then Bills (395), Eagles (386), Lions (380).

We averaged 2 turnovers per game last year, and have only had turned it over once in two games.
We're doing well offensively so far, have more room to grow, but the hope/assumption is that the offense is only going to get better.

No way the bolded is true. That would be an extremely sloppy offense.

I'm seeing 8 fumbles lost, 9 INTs thrown.

We had 17 I believe… one per game. We were 1st in differential.

Woops, I read the stats wrong. We had 20 interceptions on defense.
Only 9 interceptions on offense + 16 lost fumbles.

1.47 turnovers per game.

Derp. I keep reading wrong.
16 total fumbles, 8 lost fumbles.

9 INT's + 8 lost fumbles = 17
SmokeyJoe is correct. 1 turnover per game.

Would you rather have cousins in 2017 or solomon thomas, rueben forster and jimmy ? Ill take cousins

Mahomes is the obvious shoulda, but that's all in the past.
I like having having Bosa and Brock.

One of the biggest blunders in Niner history. We needed a QB badly too. He was right there.

How did you come to the conclusion this is about Jimmy? He's only an ancillary character here. The closest he comes to any importance in my comment is brainless love for him is the reason ̶4̶9̶e̶r̶s̶ Jimmy fans claimed Kyle forces the QB to ignore open deep guys. This post is defending Kyle. Jimmy has is only incidentally related.

Who brought up Jimmy today?

I must have missed the praise for Jimmy in this thread today.

Agree that Bosa + Brock is >>>>>>>>>> Cousins. I'll just add that Brock is 23 years old, and if he plays till he's forty years old, then that is 18+ years in the NFL. Cousin's is 35 years old, nuff said.
