The 49ers' Offensive Game Plan Against the Buccaneers
Analyzing the San Francisco 49ers' offensive game plan for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Transcript
00:00 Let's talk about Kyle Sanahan's game plan in this game, offensively.
00:02 For the second week in a row, he's facing a defense that is absolutely nails against
00:08 the run.
00:09 Jacksonville, Tampa, two teams you really can't run against.
00:12 Tampa has this Vida Vella, who's one of the best defensive tackles in the league.
00:17 He's like Kolody Nata when I was a kid.
00:19 He's just, can't move him.
00:20 Huge and moves extremely well.
00:24 So Kyle's not stupid.
00:26 We saw what he did last week against a defense that wants to stop the run and
00:31 is better at stopping the run than rushing the quarterback.
00:33 Kyle passed.
00:36 A lot of quick passes.
00:37 And I would expect to see that again.
00:39 You could do a lot of what you did last week and it should work.
00:42 This pass rush of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is okay.
00:48 They got Shaq Barrett, Vida Vella, neither one has five sacks.
00:51 So it's okay, but you can negate,
00:54 Vida Vella is not gonna have quick win sacks, maybe Shaq Barrett will.
00:58 But you can negate a lot of that pressure just with quick throws.
01:00 Now, the Bucs, at least the Bucs I remember,
01:06 play a lot of man to man coverage with Todd Bowles.
01:08 They blitz a lot, they play a lot of man to man coverage.
01:11 So it'll be interesting to see Kyle Shaden is gonna have to have a lot of
01:14 quick throws to beat the blitz.
01:17 Well, that's why you got Christian McCaffrey.
01:19 That's why you got Debo Samuel.
01:21 It seems like this is another game where Christian McCaffrey gets ten targets.
01:25 You don't need to give Christian McCaffrey 25 carries running against this
01:30 team because it's not the most efficient use of him against his defense.
01:35 Throw him the ball, another game, and this should be a screen game.
01:39 Kyle Shanahan's good with screens, he could be better.
01:42 You have the best screen running back in the league, throw it to him, man.
01:45 I keep thinking, what would Bill Walsh do with Christian McCaffrey?
01:50 He wouldn't use him like Kyle used him.
01:52 Kyle tries to use Christian McCaffrey like he's Terrell Davis.
01:54 Like his dad's running back from the late 90s and just give him 25 carries a game,
01:59 get him to 2,000 yards, and win the Super Bowl that way.
02:02 That's not him.
02:04 If Bill Walsh were the coach, they'd be throwing it to him left and right.
02:07 He'd have 80, 90, 100 catches a year.
02:10 Same if Andy Reid were the coach.
02:11 So I'd like to see Kyle channel his inner Andy Reid this week.
02:17 I'd like to see that.
02:20 Because the Bucks, that's a team, they can't run the ball,
02:24 but they do throw to their running back Rashad White a lot.
02:26 So it could be a little bit of a screen contest.
02:30 I'd like to see Shanahan with the screen game.
02:33 Another 10 targets for Christian McCaffrey.
02:35 It worked last week.
02:36 If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
