i found this article quote interesting. Shanny can look at a team and appreciate the top offense based on a strong offensive line. We had some top skill people before the injuries and his scheme. what's the difference between them and us?. The focus on a top OL.
You'd think he'd realize that's where we need to focus and improve but so far it's been an afterthought most of the time. just scheme around them and have Purdy run around or get rid of the ball to make hm appear better than they are.
Shanahan knows the 49ers will have their hands full against a dynamic Lions offense. So is this the best offense the 49ers have faced this season?
"Yeah, definitely," Shanahan told Papa. "It starts with their o-line. That's really what is special...They'll probably have four Pro Bowlers on their o-line this year." And when you add in the talent they have at running back, tight end, wide receiver, and quarterback, it's no wonder the Lions offense averages over 32 points per game. And that doesn't even mention the scheme and playcalling from their talented offensive coordinator.
