Kyle Shanahan is the master mind behind the 49ers, building a great defensive and offensive playbook. However, Kittle has now revealed one of the team’s biggest secrets, and it could change everything for the head coach ahead of the upcoming campaign.
“Kyle has this thing where, if he wants to set up a play-action or a bootleg-type pass, sometimes he’ll just call a run play that he knows is not gonna work,” Kittle revealed on the Slow News Day podcast. “Like, we’re running a run play multiple times and it’s averaging 2 yards a carry, 2 yards a carry, 2 yards a carry. And then we throw a play-action behind it, and Deebo [Samuel] goes 75 yards. … And the whole thing is set up, because it’s the exact same motion, the exact same alignment, it looks the exact same.
