Allen Park — The 49ers offense has a lot of moving parts and that’s something commanding the attention of Detroit Lions coach Matt Patricia prior to the team’s matchup Sunday at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara.
It starts with the personnel. The 49ers mixed and matched at an extraordinary rate in the team’s opener, using 35 different combinations on 66 offensive snaps. From there, coach Kyle Shanahan and offensive coordinator Curtis Modkins like to employ a number of pre-snap shifts and motions to disguise intent.
“That’s the whole point right there,” Patricia said. “So, try to make it look a thousand different looks and directions and adjustments and changes.
