played against the Saints on Sunday while most of the 49ers starters did not. Here's what Shanahan said courtesy of the 49ers' p.r. department.
SHANAHAN: “Just thought that it'd be good for him to get a couple reps in or a couple drives in. We were hoping it would be one long drive just to get him out, similar to what BA had last week. But we had, I think it was two, three-and-outs, so I don't want to go past that. I think it's good for quarterbacks to get in. Felt good with the guys that were in there and we were pretty conservative with what we did with them and I felt Brock kind of wanted to do it too.
Q: Was there hesitancy in putting Brock out there when you had so many non-starters out there on the field? Q: When Brock took three hits that were more than love taps in the first two series, were you like “Hey.” and that was enough?
