Kyle Shanahan’s creative play design and deliberate play calling have allowed the 49ers to have one of the best offenses in the NFL this season. The New Orleans Saints’ defense faces arguably their toughest test of the season.
Who will come out on top?
The scheme that Shanahan uses could be seen as a modernized version of the West Coast offense that his dad, Mike, used to great effect while head coach for the Broncos and Redskins.
The main idea behind the west coast offense is to use the short, quick passing game as an alternative to running the ball.
