As soon as Deebo Samuel scored on a 20-yard run against the Carolina Panthers, I knew I was going to write about that play. Every week there is a play that Kyle Shanahan calls that will drop your jaw. Mostly, it’s plural. Shanahan has plays where he uses the weakness of the defense against them. I’ve meant to write a “one play I really like” from the game, and Samuel’s play made the decision easy.
This week, the shovel pass to Matt Breida early in the game stood out. I’ve never seen a shovel pass drawn up like that.
