With a short week ahead, 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan gave his team some advice to follow during their Thanksgiving day off.
“I think what helps is the tape,” Shanahan said. “New Orleans is a very good team. I don't have to make that up. You just have to turn the tape on and watch it, but it was a lot of energy last week, you have to be aware of that.
“You always have to throw in, which we do every year, the deal with Thanksgiving, which doesn't change up much.” While potentially sounding over protective, Shanahan’s approach to the day off was lighthearted -- basically, don’t hang out with your drunk uncle. “You can hang out with him on Sunday night,” Shanahan said with a smile. “He's just chilling, doesn't have stuff to do, but you don't come to his job and yell at him to come home early and hang out with you. I think we have a mature group. They understand the deal, but we are working to get our bodies back.
