Kyle Shanahan talks dress rehearsal, fullbacks, new tackling rule

Do you subscribe to the dress rehearsal mantra of the third preseason game?

“Yeah, I do. To a degree. I think it’s very important that players, coaches, everyone, we are creatures of habit, and preseason we’re all over the place. But, you want them to get into that routine to where all seven days are all kind of Groundhog Day over and over. So, you want them to know what they’re going to expect Week 1. So, we try to go through that routine. Today is I believe our 16th practice. We want more. We can’t just sit here and totally focus on Indy and everything.
