Roman really was brilliant, it seems like he’s getting better and better as a play caller, a lot of fans of his previous teams had bad things to say about his situational play calling and over reliance on the run, but a lot of that could just be Kaepernick and tyrod, because he’s still relying on the run heavily but not to a fault, as a matter of fact the only time we’ve struggled is when he’s gotten too pass happy.
He seems to be finding a perfect balance now, I love how he treats a lot of third downs like second down, running on 3rd and whatever knowing that we’ll either convert or get it short enough to convert on fourth, and when he does treat a third down like a must have conversion, he dials it up beautifully, like the Hayden hurst drag early on, the andrews out route where he cleared enough space to turn upfield out of the bunch formation, the Boyle TD, etc.
He is really dialed in with what works with this personnel and it’s awesome to watch. Your shanahan comparison was spot on, he is using a well rounded squad, brute force, and confusion and movement to completely dictate the game with absolute authority. At this rate, I don’t see anyone stopping this unit, everything is firing right now, and it’s getting better every week.
