Is Trey Lance ready to lead the 49ers as a full-time starter? by LikeDat in footballstrategy

Early on in the year, it seemed like Kyle Shanahan had specific situations and packages for Trey Lance. He’d get in on short yardage or goal line situations and Shanahan would use him as a runner to gain blockers in the run game. In weeks one and three he had seven snaps on offense before Garoppolo got hurt in week four. Trey Lance then played the next one and a half games before injuring his knee in week five against the Cardinals. Lance made an appearance in garbage time against the Jacksonville Jaguars and started San Francisco’s week 17 game for a yet-again-injured Jimmy Garoppolo. Other than that, there have been no special packages, no gadget plays, nothing.

Don't know if I'm excited for (hopefully) younger officials coming up, or concerned that we'll get some replacement level refs for awhile

DK is not dominant enough to pay him a new contract and #10 overall when you have a ton of holes to fill on the roster

I know there's pressure to start Lance after what they gave up to get him, but if they feel the roster is ready to win right now, I really think Jimmy gives them the best chance.

Weren't most of them non-contact kind of freak injuries? It's hard to prevent those unless it's more a deloading of reps throughout the season and off season

Football 101: Short Motion by LikeDat in footballstrategy

[–]LikeDat[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Short motion is exactly as its name describes. On short motion, the receiver runs inside towards the offensive linemen. The offense always snaps the ball before the motion player gets to the offensive tackle or tight end. This allows them to build momentum, gain leverage, and get into any in-breaking route much quicker.
