Actually we have.
Kyle Shanahan breaks out the "Pony Personnel" in the red-zone (2 running backs).

Yeah we have seen it one time and was highly successful. Posters also have mentioned putting mcaffrey in the slot and another back in the backfield.
Basically if you put mcaffrey somewhere unexpected he's instantly draws attention and creates confusion.
Have not seen that either.
His scheme basically boils down to only two things put the world on brocks shoulders with 20th ranked oline protecting him or feed mcaffrey the ball and hope other teams don't force him inside.
This plus a jet sweep to deebo within the first 3 plays of the game which we have now seen two games in a row.
This year is way worse than years past because now he is just leaning on Brock or mcaffrey to bail him out for lack of creativity. We used to be able to rush 150+ yards and just grind a team down.
Posters just don't want to accept we run maybe 1 or 2 creative plays a game. Plays that make you say "that was a sweet design". And I'm not talking about those single high safety blow ups like the mcaffrey foot race or the throw to ayuik where it's just bad defense.
