Analysis: An in-depth Super Bowl preview, from game-plan clues to the speed factor
Kyle Shanahan’s offensive genius — and it is genius, those who know him insist — boils down to his knowledge of defenses. As a low-level quality control coach in Tampa Bay, he was an offensive assistant. After he finished his workof defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin’s office, soaking in lessons from Kiffin, Mike Tomlin, Raheem Morris and Tampa Bay’s other defensive coaches.
“He had drawn up some concepts we had never seen,” Sherman said. “He had broken a few of our rules. ... We fundamentally changed it after that game, because the rules that he broke were rules nobody had ever broken before.”And then came their playoff game. Atlanta led 12-10 right before halftime and had the ball at the Seattle 14-yard line.
“That’s a play Kyle came up with in the same way he came up with our entire offensive system, and that’s getting reps playing against that defense and thinking outside the box, thinking how to stress a defender’s assignments,” Mike McDaniel, the 49ers’ run game coordinator, said. “One thing that’s unique to Kyle is his understanding of defenses and their responsibilities. That wasn’t bestowed to him from God. That was from hard work.
Another factor is that coaches hold nothing back. The 49ers may not need trick plays, but they potentially have one up their sleeve. Fullback Kyle Juszczyk’s versatility is a well-documented key to the 49ers’ offense. He can line up anywhere, block anybody, run the ball and catch the ball. Niners defensive tackle DeForest Buckner was discussing Juszczyk’s versatility when he let this slip:Interesting. Juszczyk has never thrown a pass in a game. So where has Buckner seen him pass? File that away.
