Conceivably, that could also be CMC and Deebo.
We could be calling run plays and screens from that formation, prompting defenses to trot out heavier defensive personnel.....
And then we shift our formation to having CMC & Deebo as receivers.

It might take some time to figure out the most effective disguises and attacks... but yikes. Shanahan can really stress out the defense with these two chess pieces.

With the way defenses have been keying in on Deebo this season, I would rather we keep him out wide. The combination of Aiyuk, Kittle, Deebo, CMC and Mitchell on the field together makes me feel all fuzzy inside.

Deebo is too effective and threatening of a player to not line him up at RB throughout the game though. Obviously, now that we have CMC, and Elijah Mitchell is coming back healthy... we don't need to run Deebo into the ground with 5-10 run plays a game, but pre-snap movement and shifts to stress out a defense is one of the foundations of our offense.

Sure. But Deebo doesn't have to line up in the backfield all that often now that we have CMC. That slant/flat concept combo between Deebo and CMC could be deadly. I can also see Deebo running jet motion from the WR spot. I am not saying Deebo shouldn't line up in the back field at all but with Deebo, CMC and Mitchell, the combinations and possibilities are endless. I have to say that your apprehension to Mitchell getting snaps when he comes back is a bit weird.

I would too. But to make it most threatening to the defense, one must block, at least sometimes, for the other to run.

Those who cannot block in Kyle's run first system seldom see the field. That goes for WR's, TE's, RB's, etc.
Love that

That's a nice mix of skillset and flexibility.
Deebo: WR/RB/QB
CMC: RB/WR/QB
Eli: RB
Lance: QB/FB

Mitchell is already a quality receiver too and he's going to learn a ton from CMC, I would imagine.

It's true. He is kind of our FB.

You just needed Trey to FB dive the first two downs and Jimmy to QB sneak on third downs and this offense would have been unstoppable.

Lol Kyle sure thinks so.
Sounding like Mitchell won't be ready this week. We don't have JWJ anymore so are we rolling with TDP to split carry's with CMC ? I don't really want CMC getting more than 20 carry's a game and don't really want Deebo getting more than 2 carry's out of the backfield.
