Ian Allan: Offensive minds

The guys calling the plays matter. A great coach can get big numbers out of seemingly modest players. Similarly, a good player can waste away if used improperly.   more »

Factoid: Kyle Shanahan

I will be interested to see what the 49ers do with Trey Lance. They coughed up three first-round picks to get him, so presumably they’re pretty confident he can be a difference-making kind of guy.   more »

Shanahan has high praise for QB Garoppolo

If San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan is a fantasy football player, he likely has quarterback JIMMY GAROPPOLO higher on his draft board than most. Shanahan said recently that the 49ers starting quarterback has the ability to become one of the best of all time at the position.

Factoid: San Francisco

If San Francisco can win one more game, it will become just the second team to go from 4-12 to a championship the next year. Only four teams have won the Super Bowl the year after finishing with a losing record.  more »

Around the NFL: Tevin Coleman

At the league meetings in Arizona, Kyle Shanahan says that he thinks Tevin Coleman will be his back-of-choice in goal-line situations. That might seem odd, since Shanahan didn’t use Coleman much in those situations when they were together in Atlanta.  more »

Around the NFL: 49ers sign Alfred Morris

I am an Alfred Morris fan. He made us look good back in 2012. He was just a sixth-round pick, but he worked his way up the depth chart in August. I remember a home game with the Colts, when they trotted him out with the first-unit offense and he really nailed down the starting job. We jacked him way up on our board, all of our subscribers drafted him, and he delivered big time, running for 1,613 yards and 13 TDs.  more »

Ian Allan: Offensive coaches

Who would you want running your offense? That is, setting aside personnel, which coaches are the best at manufacturing yards and points with formations and play-calling? I see six that I like and six that I don’t care for, with not much separation between the remaining 20.   more »

Factoid: San Francisco passing game

Kyle Shanahan is a different kind of coach. His quarterbacks tend to put up a lot of yards, yet they have a tendency to fall short in the red zone.  more »

Factoid: San Francisco 49ers

I’m not sure if I should admit this, but I kind of like Brian Hoyer. I think he’s better than people realize, and I like the fit with Kyle Shanahan’s offense. Hoyer is 16-16 as a starter in his career.  more »

Around the NFL: San Francisco 49ers

Pierre Garcon is signing with the 49ers, and I think that puts him on the fantasy radar. Could be one of the better values at the position.  more »

Shanahan to coordinate 49ers offense

New San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan plans to run the 49ers offense in 2017. He reportedly will hire quarterbacks coach Rich Scangarello and run-game guru Mike McDaniel to support hisMore offense but he will be the man in charge. While Shanahan won’t have the weapons he enjoyed in Atlanta, there may finally be some fantasy upside in San Francisco. Less
