The San Francisco 49ers have seemingly had an issue with their special teams unit for years, which led them to fire former special teams coordinator Richard Hightower and replace him with Brian Schneider.
Still, the issues have persisted, and it seems that the 49ers have a problem arising in nearly every game, be it in the return game or with one of their kickoff units.
With the issues ongoing, how have the 49ers looked to improve that unit during their preparation on a week-to-week basis?
“We devote a lot of meeting time and a lot of practice time [to special teams],” head coach Kyle Shanahan said on Thursday.
