We don’t have somebody to throw them a life line standing behind the huddle, which is how most teams practice this time of year.
SANTA CLARA – One of the benefits of not having coaches behind the huddle during practice is the 49ers’ quarterbacks are working on their problem-solving skills during training camp.
First-year 49ers offensive coordinator Geep Chryst said there were advantages to how the team ran practices under former coach Jim Harbaugh, who communicated directly with the huddle. But this year, the play calls are being sent from quarterbacks coach Steve Logan to the quarterbacks, who relay the play calls to the other 10 players in the huddle.
