San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan explains his thinking on the offensive line and building the league’s best roster. Does it hold up to scrutiny? Yes and no.
Kyle Shanahan sat down to talk with The Athletic’s Tim Kawakami recently, covering a number of topics including the primary concern for The Faithful, Shanahan’s philosophy on the offensive line.“I’m not too concerned about the ceiling. I want to know if he’s going to be a starting left tackle, a starting left guard, whatever, a starting NFL player.
TAKEAWAY: Shanahan is taking chess pieces not linemen. To be expected when the true GM is also the offensive coordinator. That aspect has worked for Shanahan, the weapons are stacked.draft weapons over offensive linemen. My mantra in pro team sports: balance wins championships. There is no balance to Shanahan’s philosophy, it leads to overloading on weapons and underinvesting on the line. And that’s exactly how it has played out.
TAKEAWAY: The Niners are an outside zone running team, yes. However, they are also a left-dominant running team due to the lack of elite talent on the right side of the line. Lack of balance in a different context. Shanahan keeps speaking in the Kawakami interview about having one of the league’s best rosters. That thinking does not separate regular season and playoffs. Matchups drive playoff results, the floor-driven OL to the right of Williams is overmatched and that played a key role in both Super Bowl losses.
