Episode notes
Planned Workload Shift For Christian McCaffrey
- Kyle Shanahan wants to reduce Christian McCaffrey's snaps to preserve explosiveness and durability.
- Shanahan expects Jordan James to handle more traditional running-down reps while Isaac Gendreau covers passing-down roles, pending health and roster additions.
Use Jordan James On Early-Down Runs
- Play Jordan James on running downs to protect McCaffrey from 400+ touches and reduce injury risk.
- Use James for tough yards while preserving McCaffrey's pass-catching role to keep him fresh for season-long impact.
Scheme Will Follow Personnel Under Raheem Morris
- Raheem Morris will adapt scheme to available personnel rather than forcing a system.
- Shanahan expects Morris to wait until OTAs to finalize specific schemes, mirroring Fangio's approach of tailoring plans to players on hand.
