Of all the players on the 49ers, no one explains the game better than George Kittle. So after Jordan Mason's incredible performance against the Jets, I had to ask Kittle what Mason adds to the 49ers offense. Kittle's answer was fascinating.
So after's incredible performance against the Jets, I had to ask Kittle what Mason adds to the 49ers offense. Kittle's answer was fascinating:
“He’s very different. Like I told Christian, literally the only good thing that came out of him not playing is that our playbook shrinks just a little bit, which I'm always a fan of, the shrinking playbook now. Kyle Shanaan can make all these awesome plays and the cool thing about Christian, is you can do all these things that no one else in the world can do, but we really just ran the most simple outside zone all day.
MY TAKE: I love how Kittle took a subtle jab at Shanahan for overusing McCaffrey. We all understand that McCaffrey is excellent, but Shanahan's fixation with him leads to the offense becoming overcomplicated and McCaffrey getting worn down. Mason's emergence helps everyone.Grant Cohn has covered the San Francisco 49ers daily since 2011.
