McKinnon/Coleman/Breida

All can also line up at WR. Shanahan's utopia: never know if it's a run or pass.

Agreed (by the way, nice going in being so quick on the draw in creating these threads).

Or maybe every nfl team uses more than one RB.

They are usually different types. We got the same back. Coleman probably better. Short yardage?! Hold on Kyle, we need to take out all 3 of our smaller backs, two of which are being paid well to come off the field.

49ers' HC Kyle Shanahan coached RB Tevin Coleman in Atlanta, and has long admired and respected his work. Now Coleman and Jerick McKinnon give the 49ers the type of 1-2 punch many teams seek.

Too bad we couldn't get a real talent like leveon bell. Gotta settle for lower level dudes.

I love Breida but he's slight of frame, banged up quite a bit. Nothin wrong with healthy competition btwn all three. McKinnon has to show he is fully healthy and that may lbebthe very reason they signed Coleman

Love me some Breida... but lets not pretend like he was reliable. All of these dudes are much better in a rotation. Remember, all can also line up outside. Extremely versatile group.

Hardly. However, it may be a sign that McKinnon isnt coming back from his injury quite as well as expected. Most likely is the fact that Coleman gives the team a great 3 man rotation and comes at a great price.
