San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan joined KNBR Thursday morning to discuss playing time for Saturday’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Shanahan said the starters (Jimmy Garoppolo) would play one series. Then, “once they’re out, I’m hoping Trey can finish out that first half. I’d be surprised if we play him in the third quarter.”
Hopefully, Trey Lance gets a few series with the first-team offensive line before they get pulled, before finishing the half behind the second-team offensive line.
On Thursday, offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel was asked what he’s expecting to see from Lance in his first preseason game:
“It’s much of the same, it sounds kind of annoying or redundant, but you just want to see players continue to learn from mistakes.
