Keys to the Game - 10/02/19 01:52 AM
--Shanny is the brightest offensive mind in football. He runs a lot more 21 and 22 personnel than most coaches. Here is something that I came across when I started the Offensive Scheme thread. SF was said to run 21 personnel the best in the league:
Colman was injured, but they still have a nice one-two punch in Breda and Mostert. Shanny is so creative and intelligent. I love his use of route trees [LOL] and how he sets teams up by running certain plays and then adding on to them. It's like an algebraic equation. One variable, one variable, one variable.............then add two more variables off of the same problem. Genius!
--Talent. We have way more than they do. They suffered a ton of injuries and don't have near the talent. Hopefully, we can win the one-on-one match-ups and expose their talent deficiency.
--Jimmy G is very accurate. He is very smart. However, he takes a lot of chances by trying to fit balls into tight windows. The key will be if he can succeed in that or if we can create some turnovers. If we win the plus/minus turnover battle, we win the game.
--I don't think the SF secondary is very good, but they have created some turnovers. This is very related to the previous key, but it's imperative that Baker doesn't turn the ball over.

The Patriots’ use of 21 personnel during their Super Bowl run was celebrated as a win for football purists who yearn for a return to the days of two-back offense. The truth is, New England wasn’t very efficient on those plays despite their high usage; the 49ers, however, were very efficient out of 21p — both in the run and pass games. The key man is Kyle Juszczyk, who blocks like a fullback but can also line up in the slot and run a good route. Emerging superstar George Kittle is also a good blocker, allowing Kyle Shanahan to get creative with his run designs. He’s known for his wide zone running game, but the 49ers can turn to other concepts when defenses sell out to stop those zone runs. With Shanahan reuniting with Tevin Coleman, one of the better receiving backs in the league, the 49ers coach can get as creative with formations as his imagination will allow.
