"When we discuss whether Kyle Shanahan is an excellent coach, what are we really saying?"
"The answer is right here: tailored teaching, adapting to conditions, arranging and combining the weapons we have at hand to find the optimal solution."
"Although the San Francisco 49ers' offensive line isn't good at pass protection, and although their quarterback isn't a top-tier passing monster in the league, Shanahan has found a way."
"The key lies not in the offensive line, nor even in Garoppolo, but in Shanahan setting up enough emergency targets, ensuring that when Garoppolo faces pressure, he doesn't need a second defensive reading, doesn't need on-the-spot creativity; he can immediately locate the second or even third target to complete the pass."
"Everything originates from the playbook and daily training."
"Practice makes perfect, making tactics engrave into the soul and into the muscle, like a meticulous machine."
