Several San Francisco 49ers players took part in this week's State of the Franchise event. The team came just short of achieving its goal last season and hopes to finish the job during the 2020 season.
Players were asked about the goal for the upcoming season. While he understands the journey will be difficult, head coach Kyle Shanahan has already stated that his expectations are to get back to the point where the team stumbled, and right that wrong.
"We've got to get right back to that fourth quarter, and get to have a lead, and we've got to finish the job," Shanahan said this week.

We've got to get right back to that fourth quarter, and get to have a lead, and we've got to finish the job."
