We don't really get any Niner's games here in NOLA. So, I mostly just get their highlights. I'm sure his hire, would change our draft and FA options. Any insights?

The scheme has evolved to fit different rosters, our biggest need will be upgrades to the OL. I think we would need to be more McVay than Shanahan, operating out of 11 personnel with Olave, Shaheed, And Perry. Moreau is good enough, and Kamara and Miller should excel in a zone run scheme.We don't really get any Niner's games here in NOLA. So, I mostly just get their highlights.

We hopefully they will find a legit LT draft/FA, and not try to force feed us Penning at RT.

Watching some 2021 Vikings games, Kubiak ran a lot of similar pass concepts to what we did. What stands out after watching three games is more PA keepers and a better screen game.
This is much more of what Carr does well. Carr isn't a dink and dunk, check down to Kamara kind of QB.we will see greater depth of target (~2 yards)
These discussions are always interesting to me because human beings have tendencies. That goes for coaches also. Good coaches, IMO, read the room and figure out what tools they have to work with, and what tools they feel are missing, but needed to create their masterpiece(s). I think (and hope) KK takes stock of the offensive skills already in the building and starts translating them into HIS tendencies. That will be revealed in time. But before any of us gets to see it, I'm wondering what other tools he feels are "missing". Again, a speculative exercise, as none of us knows for certain. But again referencing tendencies, coaches draw upon their established relationships and spheres of influence. To that end, I'm wondering what PLAYERS on the 9ers offensive side of the ball KK might bring with him?The scheme has evolved to fit different rosters, our biggest need will be upgrades to the OL.

After watching five Vikings games, it seems Kubiak shares Shanahan’s preference for 12/21 personnel sets on early downs, particularly when running the ball. If he wants to run that here, he will likely be evaluating Johnson, Hill, and Prentice to see if they can be effective as the fifth skill player in his base run offense. Financial commitments to Johnson and Hill will likely put them on the field before we go shopping for replacements, but we can line them up in ways to give them easier blocking assignments and also benefit from any mismatches they find on those times we pass.These discussions are always interesting to me because human beings have tendencies.

I'm not talking pie-in-the-sky trades for frontline players like Purdy, McCaffrey, or Samuel. I'm thinking of younger players who may be up-and-coming but haven't gotten their shot yet? Or a FA that may follow KK to NO? Guys with familiarity of KKs offense, and KK likes 'em enough to bring 'em, and they're actually GET-ABLE. Mostly likely linemen, IMO, due to the big change (expected) in blocking scheme. I'm not familiar with the 9ers roster at all, and I don't know much about KK and his preferences. Anyone care to speculate who KK may try to bring into the B&G offense? Maybe they're not even 9ers....maybe they're Broncos who got lost in the shuffle when CSP took over? Or possibly even Vikings whose contracts getting ready to expire? Anyone care to speculate?
I love these breakdowns, keep them coming.After watching five Vikings games, it seems Kubiak shares Shanahan’s preference for 12/21 personnel sets on early downs, particularly when running the ball.

In those games, Kubiak ran 63% of the time with <3 WR on early downs and passed 83% of the time with 3+ WR.
Good stuff Rouxble! In YOUR opinion, what are the chances KK moves TH7 to that fullback/H-back role that I think he was born to play? TH7 needs to be on the field more, stressing defenses, IMO; but when he lines up in the backfield now, it's a telegraphed run. I'd like to see TH7 play that hybrid fullback/H-back role on the majority of snaps....sometimes handing off to him, sometimes sending out for a route, sometimes "checking down" in the flat, and sometimes just a decoy. Any chance (in YOUR opinion) KK deploys him in this way?After watching five Vikings games, it seems Kubiak shares Shanahan’s preference for 12/21 personnel sets on early downs, particularly when running the ball.

I don't believe the round is the problem, I believe the problem is in the selection process.If it's the draft, I hope it's not the first round. I know the Saints need help on OL and at DE, but they keep drafting OL and DE in the first and keep getting nothing out of it.
