49ers' Kyle Shanahan and Rams' Sean McVay always thinking pre-snap motion -- after too much coffee and even at the movies

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- No matter where he is or what he's doing, football is never far from San Francisco 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan's mind.

On a recent Friday night, Shanahan ventured to a local theater as part of a family birthday party, with the animated film "The Addams Family 2" on the big screen. By the time Shanahan left, he hadn't spent much time basking in Snoop Dogg's swing at the voice of Cousin Itt.

Instead, he spent the one hour, 47-minute run time on his iPad concocting new play ideas, many of which included the biggest staple of his offense: pre-snap motion.
