Shanahan: We Have To Be Patient To Take Our Deep Shots
A: You know, our guys played hard. Our running backs ran well. I thought we had a pretty good plan going against their fronts and our guys blocked well. Our guys ran hard and they did a good job. I was real pleased with the run game (in Seattle), especially.
Q: When you look at Laken Tomlinson and the game he had (against the Seahawks), particularly in the run game, were you surprised he was able to catch on to things so quickly?
A: Yeah, he did do a good job. I was definitely pleased with him. He needs to keep getting better and I hope that he does the more that he’s here. But, in his first game with the limited time he had, he didn’t have many mistakes from an assignment standpoint. He still needs to continue to get better with his techniques and things that we’re asking him to do. But, especially in his first game and not being here throughout the off season, I thought he did a good job.
Q: Brian Hoyer didn’t throw any passes longer than 20 yards and he threw only two passes longer than 10 yards. Why so few long throws? Was that the game plan coming in?

Will Mostert run for 49ers again?
Raheem Mostert was primed this year to be the centerpiece of one of the NFL’s most dynamic offenses, featured as the lead performer in San Francisco’s grinding rushing attack while making his climb among the league’s top running backs.
THE WONDER OF WARNER
49ers make All-Pro star highest-paid LB in NFL
Making the right choice at QB
In the weeks that follow after you read this — and perhaps sometime even sooner than that — Kyle Shanahan and the rest of the 49ers organization will make a titanic decision that will have present, future and perhaps even everlasting implications for the franchise. It will chart the course for the team’s pivotal 2021 season while determining whether San Francisco really does have the juice to return to powerhouse status and again be considered a legitimate contender to get back to the Super Bowl.
TOP 10 Linebacker seasons
Fred Warner vaulted to stardom with a spectacular 2020 season — and the 49ers rewarded him this summer with a $95.225 million deal that makes him the highest-paid inside linebacker in NFL history. By today’s standards, Warner’s performance last year was worth the money as he posted an Approximate Value of 19 — matching the highest score ever recorded by a San Francisco defender according to a Pro Football Reference formula that puts a single number on each player-season across all positions since 1960. Patrick Willis and NaVorro Bowman (twice) also had seasons with an AV of 19 as they dominate this list of the greatest individual seasons by a linebacker in 49ers history.
