Kyle needs to up his drinking game. It's clear he needs more time at the practice bar.

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.

Agree, great points! I'll just add that the condensed formations allow guys like Deebo and Jauan to block at the LOS easier for the RB, and also allow the outside zone to have more room to go sideways and break a DLines gap control.
