They need to run the ball better but THAT is the blueprint for beating Philadelphia
Niners do not have
big power bruisers like some fans are really ranting and raving for here.
Their RBs have long been based off speed and splash, since Shanahan took over.
They combined those splash - slash RBs with a "
misdirection" slanting, stretch lane scheme.
It can be made to mislead tacklers into committing and false step into one move & direction,
while the run flow is going another way.
Mac run scheme attack does not seem to emphasis such misdirection and stretch lane run scheme.
It seems to play a simple bland power run zone scheme that's meant to methodically grind.
