Your San Francisco 49ers links for Sunday https://www.49ersfanshop.com/Deion-Sanders-Jersey , May 12th, 2019"Sharp Football Stats creates a statistic to track the percentage of explosive plays of each NFL team. This stat can be misleading as it doesn’t necessarily correlate to total offense or points scored. However, this stat correlates well to how exciting it is to turn on a game and watch the team. Offense is the reason we brought Kyle Shanahan in to run this team. He has a unique ability to scheme people wide open. Having lost Jimmy Garoppolo, Jet, Garcon, and others, how did he do in creating these explosive plays with his backups on the field?Our run game was supposed to star Jerick McKinnon with the fear of Jimmy G tearing apart defenses on the play action. Instead, we were all given the opportunity to watch Beathard and Mullens handing the ball off to Matt Breida, Alfred Morris and Jeff Wilson. It would not have been a surprise to see us rank near the bottom of the NFL when looking back at our 2018 starters. However, our rushing offense had the 4th highest percentage of explosive plays (runs of ten yards or more). Shanahan found a way to create openings even without his starters. The real question is how explosive will our run game be when Mckinnon and Coleman are behind the line? Will motioning Hurd from WR to RB yield even more?So if our run game was so explosive Roger Craig Jersey , what about our passing game? Were we anemic in this area? We didn’t have Jimmy G. We lost Pierre Garcon, Marquise Goodwin, and Dante Pettis for parts of the season. The only active WR for the entire season was Kendrick Bourne. Fortunately, we did have Kittle to save us in this regard. But from the players we trotted out each Sunday I would not have been surprised to see us rank near the bottom of this stat as well. Yet, somehow Shanahan created the 3rd highest percentage of explosive plays (15 yards or more). This is an amazing job considering the talent at QB and WR. I am excited to see what he will be able to do with Deebo Samuel, Hurd, Tevin Coleman, and Mckinnon added to the list.These stats lead to two conclusions most fans realized when watching the games last year. One, Kyle Shanahan is an amazing offensive mind who can create consistent mismatches no matter who he has to use as weapons. Two, our offense is able to move under the tutelage of Shanahan but our red zone numbers must improve. We have the explosion to get down the field Ronnie Lott Color Rush Jersey , now we need to utilize that same explosion around the goal line. Hopefully the addition of Samuel, Hurd, and Coleman along with the return of our injured players can create enough mismatches to improve our red zone percentage.On to the links....San Francisco 49ers have the NFL’s best kept secret in 201949ers’ 2019 ‘Whos is?’ series: Defensive end Ronald BlairWhy Jason Verrett could be 49ers comeback player of the year49ers roster battle: Cornerback competition could define 2019Jimmy Garoppolo still hopeful he’ll be ready for week 1 Each year, the Senior Bowl committee selects a roster of players and as is the case with any postseason event, sometimes players have to back out for one reason or another. When it comes to the Senior Bowl, it is usually injury related, although for some players it is to avoid injury rather than simply rehab an injury.Senior Bowl executive director Jim Nagy offered an intriguing bit of insight in the selection process during his recent podcast chat with Matt Maiocco. When January arrives and the Senior Bowl is figuring out replacement players, their staff gives the coaching staffs a list of options for a given position and lets the teams select the players that will join the roster. The teams are allowed to provide asks prior to that, but it sounds like they get an even bigger opportunity with the last minute adds.Maiocco noted seven players that were late additions to the South roster. Given what Nagy told Maiocco, this suggests these are players to keep an eye on this week and through the rest of the pre-draft process. They include:RB Wes Hills https://www.49ersfanshop.com/Jerry-Rice-Jersey , Slippery RockWR Gary Jennings, West VirginiaOT Oli Udoh, ElonDT Demarcus Christmas, Florida StateDT Daylon Mack, Texas A&MLB Gerri Green, Mississippi StateCB Mark Fields, ClemsonDo any of these players jump out at you? None of the positions are a shocking inclusion. Running back might seem lower priority, but a day three back wouldn’t be entirely surprising. The process of just figuring out who some of these players are is a long one for those of us that don’t watch much college football. Any early opinions?
