The San Francisco 49ers got two great snaps out of Bruce Ellington in Week 5, and then never used him again. Any idea why?
There were a lot of "interesting" things to come from the San Francisco 49ers Week 5 loss to the New York Giants. I put "interesting" in quotation marks because they were not all interesting in a good way. The most notable example has to be Bruce Ellington.
The 49ers rolled Ellington out fairly quickly in the game. After Carlos Hyde rushed for five yards on the first play, Geep Chryst dialed up back-to-back screen passes to wide receiver Bruce Ellington.
