Article About the Evolution of the Shanahan System and What Makes it Work

No doubt you have to fit the offense to your personnel. I'm just looking to identify guys we have that can credibly line up in multiple positions because it appears that in addition to all the motion and outside zone, a corner stone of the new system is likely to be using formations with versatile players to dictate how the defense will play you so that you can try to get the defense in a base while you are passing and in nickel/dime while you are running. It won't necessarily be looking for a "Deebo" or a "Kittle" but a guy like Hill who can credibly line up out wide and then motion into the backfield or the reserve, would help with that disguise. As would a guy like Bowden.

But, yeah, the system varies based on the players. For instance, Miami runs this system well without great blockers at WR and without the versatile TE.
I agree. I think Hill's versatility can be used to get similar production as Deebo and Kittle, but I think how Hill can be used to get that production is different from those two.

What I'm hoping for is that next season under Kubiak, the NFL world can't stop gushing over Kamara and Hill, like they do over Deebo and Kittle. The pair of players are not the same, but I think they are capable of being just as productive due to their incredible versatility stemming from multiple skillsets and dedication to working hard.
