Niner fans be like "Kyle needs to be inside his hotel room with an ankle lock, ordering room service and watching film until kickoff."

To be fair we don't know what was going on in the team bus.

True. Plus, if Kyle wants to quickly sober up just stop by Foerster's room. Problem solved.

He was better drunk doing these interviews. Take some stress off of these pointless events he's forced to do.

Lol, totally.

As always, I defer to the people who have been here before. If throwing back a few before a media event is a way to relieve the pressure from a week there are not a lot of opportunities to do so, then I trust that Kyle knows this was a point he could relax. We need this man and this team dialed in when in counts, not during a press event. I'm glad he knows this stage well enough to know that this was a night he didn't have to be stressed about. Anyone critical is likely already looking for something to be critical about ie 21ring.

Which is funny because he's literally required to be at media night, so sober or not he couldn't even do that if he wanted to.

Also if he is enamored by lights

Kyle just practicing for the parade.

Honestly when he was doing the side by side with Reid I thought he came off amazingly, the dude is a f'ing stud. A brilliant leader of men. I love Kyle and fully believe he's gonna have us in a great position to bring this home.

just goes to show how uptight some can be, which I can understand if it's some life/death military rescue mission, but geez its just a sporting event.

like ice cube said, you better check yourself before you wreck yourself!

Dan Bunz makes that tackle, 49ers hold on to win 26-21 in SB XVI, and Walsh dressing up as a bellhop is a clever tactic to keep his team relaxed.

Dan Bunz doesn't make that tackle, 49ers blow a 20-0 halftime lead and lose 28-26, and Walsh dressing up as a bellhop means he didn't take the SB seriously enough and let his players get too relaxed.

Bunz tackling a guy 1-inch short of the goal was the difference between Walsh's tactic "working" or not.

My point is: Shanahan being chill and perhaps having a couple drinks the Monday before the SB will be as much of a correlation, not a causation.

lol, yeah

Article with some stats on why spread formations are becoming less frequent and tight formations (WRs in reduced splits) are rising. Kyle was one of the first to make this a defining aspect of his offense, and now it's catching on around the league.

TLDR: By using tight formations and condensing the middle of the field, the defense has to worry about the areas outside the numbers, which then allows the offense to attack the middle of the field. Tight formations also give more uncertainty when it comes to run or pass as opposed to spread formations where it's more likely a passing play.

Shanahan's condensed formations, which are beginning to proliferate through the NFL, take the same principles as the spread—and completely invert them. The goal of any offense is to create and exploit space. Spread schemes do that by forcing defenders to line up from sideline to sideline. The 49ers achieve the same goal in an unexpected way: by forcing defensive backs to worry about the enormous empty patches of turf on the outside, it actually opens up the middle of the field to attack.

This season, Shanahan lined up his offense in tight formations more than ever before: San Francisco has run 63.9% of its total plays in this style. What that means is that when the offense lines up, the average width of the formation is just 19.9 yards, according to Next Gen Stats, or nearly 5 yards narrower than the NFL average of 24.6.

For six straight years, Next Gen Stats has found that the 49ers have targeted in-breaking routes more frequently than any other team in the NFL.

Those passes explain Purdy's incredible efficiency this season, when he led the league with 9.6 yards per pass attempt. In condensed formations, in-breaking routes average 9.2 yards per attempt with a 69.4% completion rate. Those numbers drop to 7.9 yards and 63.9% from spread formations.

One downside of this is that (slot) CB blitzes have less distance to cover, and defenses can get very creative regarding where to bring rushers from since so many defenders are close to the box. It also muddies the presnap picture for the QB.

Montana hooked him up with some of that Gold Bar
