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.

While he should have been aware of the running back's usage, the players that go in or the substitution is on the position coach. Kyle can't micromanage every detail. Especially when discussing play calling. Even Kyle said as much

We are talking about kirk cousins. Mr 0-2 kirk cousins. Mr I've only won 1 playoff game win in my life kirk cousins. Mr. 8-8 kirk cousins. the guy who just doesn't know how to win kirk cousins.

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.

Coulda shoulda woulda, but didn't. People are forgetting the butterfly effect. Many of the players we have now, in al likely hood might not be this team. PM might be dinged up on a team that had no talent.

And get sacked because he's not mobile, before he can hit those long balls.

Heres where I felt Kyle outcoached Mcvay and swung the game in our favor. Kyle being aggressive to end the half and getting the game tied. Mcvay not going for it on 4th and 2 after our defense has shown the inability to really stop them.

Agree on the McVay 4th down, not going for it, decision. I too felt the game turned on that one call. I don't think the Rams have a very strong run game this year, and in the 2nd meeting, I'm looking for our defense to load up on Nuca and their WR's and pretty much ignore their run game. We'll see, but great first win against Rams by Brock!

Can't double him unless Cooper is still out.

I expect the exponentially more talented team to have dominated this game. Yet coaching keeps these games close when they dont need to be. The only reason we won this game

1. Turnovers
2. Kyle making the right call to for it before the half (yes I give him credit)
3. Niners are more talented.

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

Inter division games are always tough, because you always know the other side. Look around the NFL even when a team is not as good, the toughest ones are the inter division games. Plus the Rams, had a lot young unknown talent that did not have a lot of tape.

Can't speak to Mason too much, but it seems that Mitchell has been pretty reliable in that regard. Assuming he's healthy, which he rarely is.

I think its more an issue of when CMC checks out of the game there goes a lot of the play sheet, and KS likes having his full play sheet.

I don't know, apart from being able to line up as effectively at WR as McCaffrey, I'm not sure there isn't anything that Mitchell can't do in Kyle's offense that McCaffrey does, at least for a handful of plays a game. He runs well between the tackles, can get around the corner a little, he's hard to arm tackle, and can catch the ball out of the backfield, what else does he need to do. I saw McCaffrey blocking in the backfield on a couple of plays and it wasn't anything to write home about. I'm pretty sure Mitchell could do at least well. The first three things apply to Mason as well, though he may be the weakest receiver of the three.

Kyle did talk about it once. While you may not be impressed with CMC's blocking, Mitch still needs to work on his he said. Mason also needs to work on his pass blocking, also, ball security. There are a lot of things we don't see in training camp and in practice. Just like no one saw Purdy making the roster last year as the number two and beating out Nate with all the guaranteed we gave him.

As faithful said, the playbook and possibly a lot of other things get narrowed down for the opponents. Still when the crowed knows its going to be a run, and the D knows its going to be a run at the end of the game, might as well run them other backs.

It wasn't a close game in the second half.

?? We were only up 7 with 5 mins left in the game and the Rams had the ball. I would say thats a close game.

I guess Brock's 3 overthrows were on Kyle, or all of Jimmy's crappy throws were Kyle's fault too in Cortez's eyes.

They are our biggest rival and they are still a good team especially if Stafford is healthy.

True. Division games are always tough. Even the Cards get me worried a bit.

Stafford seemed so meh, they had one decent drive in the 2nd half.

Was he hurt yesterday or did he just suck?
