Robinson clearly was the best cornerback on the field. Broke up a short pass intended for Pierre Garcon, then intercepted a deep pass intended for Rashad Ross two plays later. Shanahan needs to find times to delegate the passing game instruction so he can work with the rest of the team even though he’s his own offensive coordinator.

That’s what a head coach is supposed to do. When Harbaugh was the head coach, he spent time with every position. He spends no time with the running backs, the offensive linemen, the defense or the special teams. He spends all of his time during position drills with the quarterbacks, wide receivers and tight ends as they practice their pass patterns. All of this is impressive.īut if you didn’t know better, watching practice you would think Shanahan is the passing game coordinator. And sometimes Shanahan stops drills to demonstrate how he wants receivers to run specific routes. Sometimes he actually plays cornerback and tries to take away certain reads for the quarterback so he has to go through his progressions. During position drills, Shanahan stands in the middle of the action like a defender – the only one on the field. Shanahan is an interactive coach, like Jim Harbaugh. Before I get into the good and not so good from the players, I want to start with the good and not so good from the head coach – Kyle Shanahan. The 49ers held their first practice of the offseason in front of the media Wednesday afternoon.
