This is a quote from Kyle Shanahan’s interview yesterday.
“We wanted to get Alf in here because we just thought all of our guys are pretty similar. We’ve got a number of explosive backs. Some guys, if they’re given a hole, they’ve got the speed and stuff to take it the distance. But I felt like all of our guys are very similar.
”If our starting two guys are going to be speed guys who can do some stuff in the pass game and can make some big plays, I also wanted to have an option of having a guy that can handle carries, can handle getting beat up a lot, get the hard yards versus some really good defenses.
