Been saying for awhile that were I Shaw I’d spend the summer with Shanahan. And try to poach one of his coaches (prob QB coach - relatively young. Has been with a Shanahan a couple years) Shanahan is a tremendous offensive football coach. Of course he learned from his dad who is right off of the Walsh coaching tree. And a great coach.
49ers had a second and long from about the 16. I knew they were going to run a draw – because it’s fairly common for teams to run on second and long. They were in the shotgun and what made the play special is that he sent someone in motion and then had the flow moving left, then shot Coleman straight up the middle. He scored. Shanahan uses misdirection incredibly well.

Lots of misdirection on runs, heavy use of play action, anything to keep the defense guessing and from playing downhill. Here’s hoping Shaw spends some time with Shanahan, or poaches a member of his staff.
One play that comes to mind is the Debo Samuel TD run. Blocked like a standard trap, there was a jet sweep motion (pure decoy) and the handoff went inside to the slot WR who cut it upfield like a typical power. Caught defense flat footed — Touchdown. Brilliant play design
I feel like there’s 5-6 of these every game you could point to.
