This quote from Kyle Shanahan about Trenton Cannon made me think that Cannon will receive a few touches against Seattle — especially if it’s a screen pass:
“We brought him here for special teams but with what he’s shown us in practice, we have no problem putting him in at running back. I’ve watched what he’s done on other teams and when he’s gotten his opportunity, he has playmaking ability.”
Traditional boot-action concepts are built like any old ‘flood’ concept: there’s a deep route, an intermediate route, and a short route. In the modern game, with almost all just about quarterbacks mobile enough to be a perimeter threat, the quarterback is – as coaches like to say – his own checkdown.
