I take it you didn't watch the Falcons much.
His staple is the playaction bootleg to get receivers open on crossers. If we can't run the ball effectively the playaction doesn't work. And if you have one GLARING hole at RT in the run game who is not able to do what Shanahan wants there is a huge problem.
Shanahan's teams have consistently been top 10 in rushing attempts. His offense revolves around the stretch runs. If Trent can't execute it he won't be here.
We will not become a run and gun passing team. It won't happen under Shanahan.
