[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 873749, member: 12283"] LaFleur's offense is predicated on using personnel that forces defenses to pick a poison. It's run most effectively in San Francisco by Kyle Shanahan, who I think is the best offensive mind in the league currently using this style. If you look at the offensive personnel in SF, there aren't many superstars. Before today, their WR2 was Kendrick Bourne. They have a number of running backs who can be effective within the offense, but no one that would be considered a top 10 (or even 15? 20?) NFL back. Even their QB is hardly going to be featured on anyone's top 10 list. Yet last year they were 7th in offensive DVOA, 4th in total yardage, and 2nd in scoring offense. The keys to their offense are George Kittle and, to a lesser extent, Kyle Juszczyk. Kittle can line up in line and Juszczyk in the backfield and they can be in 21 or 22 personnel and force defenses into a base look. But they can audible and put Kittle in the slot or have Juszczk run a route and shred that base look with a passing attack. But if the defense goes light to match up with the passing threat, say nickel or dime, those same players can bury people as run blockers. So the defense has to pick their poison, and the offensive personnel can make them wrong either way. I believe that's what LaFleur wants to build in Green Bay. He wants personnel that can alternate between 11, 12, and 21 personnel formations without subbing (and thus without giving the defense a chance to sub). Deguara is a part of that, fitting in the Juszcyk mold. Sternberger could be a part of that as he comes along. And then of course for it all to work, the running game needs to be effective. Last year, the 49ers were 2nd in rushing attempts, 2nd in yards/game and 8th in yds/attempt. The Packers were 13th, 15th, and 14th, respectively. Adding Dillon to the backfield should help address that, as Aaron Jones isn't a 25 carry back, and Jamaal Williams just isn't very effective. [/QUOTE]
