Kyle Shanahan’s reputation as an innovator and one of the better play designers and play callers is well-earned. From his time in Cleveland, Washington, Houston, and San Francisco, there are many examples of Shanahan’s offensive prowess.
When 49ers fans think about Shanahan’s best play calling games, there are many examples to choose from. How disrespectful was the NFC Championship game against Green Bay? Basically, Shanahan said: “We’re going to run it every time, and you can’t stop it.”
On Halloween night in 2019, Shanahan helped orchestrate what many people point to as one of Jimmy Garoppolo’s finest performances as a 49er in Arizona.
