In Trey Lance’s first and only start of the season, he dropped back on a first-and-10 at his own 35-yard line at the end of the first quarter and faked a handoff against a four-man Cardinals front that had added an extra blitzing defender just before the snap.
With his three seconds in the pocket, he was able to see the fruits of the Kyle Shanahan system laid out in front of him. The tight end was open on a modified wheel-type route to his blind side, forcing the outermost Cardinals defender in the middle of their zone to keep an eye on him.
