The Game Plans That Could Decide the Chiefs-49ers Super Bowl

Andy Reid and Kyle Shanahan are both excellent play callers with a lot of experience in big games.

So how will they come out of the gate?

Which team will counter better defensively? And who’ll ultimately win?

Greetings from Chalk Wars! The idea is straightforward:

Ben Solak and Steven Ruiz are cosplaying as the two coaching staffs for the 2024 Super Bowl,

speculating and designing their game plans.

Solak has the San Francisco 49ers,

and Ruiz has the Kansas City Chiefs.

The offensive will pose the central query that will serve as the section’s definition at the outset.

As an illustration, how can one stop Christian McCaffrey?

Which poses a greater threat, Rashee Rice or Travis Kelce?

The defense will get a chance to answer the question and explain how that unit will attempt to account for those offensive challenges.

These exchanges ought to reflect the maneuvers,

modifications, and countermoves that we witness on Sunday.

Let’s start with the 49ers offense led by Solak.

The 49ers’ Offensive Scheme Question: Can Kansas City Account for All of San Francisco’s Looks?

Solak: Let’s talk about the 49ers offense’s basic problem,

which is that it is too excellent to stop. As a result,

San Francisco will win and the other team will lose.

Ruiz: Well … crap.

Solak: The 49ers possess perhaps the best group of offensive players in the NFL.

The league’s best running back, McCaffrey,

is joined on the field by George Kittle,

one of the top four or five tight ends, Deebo Samuel, and Brandon Aiyuk,

who are both top-15 receivers (I contend that Deebo should be in the top ten),

and Trent Williams rounds out the group. This season,

the Niners average 7.2 yards per play (491 of 1,154 plays) and have a success rate of 51.7 percent and an expected points added per play of 0.21.

To put things in context, the league leads in those parameters with 6.5 yards per play,

48.6 percent success rate, and 0.15 EPA per play. And the 49ers have all of them.

All of the team’s key offensive players are fit for the championship match,

making this a superteam.

However, the way these players are used is just as important as the players themselves.

The best offensive football designer in the NFL is Kyle Shanahan.

He is the type of coach who can bring out the best in these league-defining skill players on the field,

as well as the man who brought them in and developed them.

An entertaining tidbit from Next Gen Stats:

The 49ers employ more compact formations than any other club.

This season, their average formation width was 19.9 yards,

the lowest of any offense and the lowest from a 49ers squad under Shanahan’s leadership.

The 49ers’ enduring offensive philosophy is what led to their dedication to compact formations:

Put tight ends in the middle of the formation,

pull wide receivers close to the line so they can contribute as blockers,

look like you’re going to run the football at all times (and, let’s face it, run it pretty frequently),

get under center and pound the daggum ball, sonny.

No team runs more two-back personnel than the 49ers.
