I'm not a fan of giving Deebo more than 5 carries. The dude was exhausted last game. Kyle needs to start trusting other players more.
Wilson will be big in this game.
Let's hope it's because Shanahan want to maintain fresh RBs and not because Mitchell got hurt. Most coaches use 2 RBs when they have two decent to good ones. The 49ers have a future star in Mitchell and a good backup in Jeff Wilson Jr. Kyle needs to use both, and not work the crap out of Mitchell. This is the first season where Kyle simply doesn't trust any other RB as long as Mitchell is 85% healthy, he gets pretty much all the carries.
Think it is more about how well Mitchell is playing rather than lack of trust in Wilson/Hasty. Mitchell can also run anywhere. Mostert was faster but not an inside guy.
Yeah, 10 straight times at a top of the line Ram run defense, Mitchell is a stud workhorse.

Those chains kept moving.
And he's just a rookie. If he can pack another 10 to 15 lbs and not lose too much speed, WOW! I'll say it backwards next year! WOW!
