I am interested to see if McVay continues with the 3 TE sets.
Hes had good success with it.
Given Shanny is great at scheming TEs open I wouldn't be surprised to see Shanny steal that look.....although they kind of run that already just with their super irritating FB.

Shanny has been using 13 and 22 sets way before McVay this year. I actually thought McVays use of 13 was him finally copying Shanahan.
We’ve had some success with it but the 9ers are way better at executing plays from those formations. I saw a few run plays where we ran towards the 3 TE bunch and either a TE missed a block or the RB didn’t know how a defender was going to be blocked and ran right into him.

Don't be shocked if it happens this weekend. For some reason the Rams have this blind spot when it comes to defending the whiners. They stopped CMC from running wild, but they allowed him to pick up crucial yards and first downs by allowing him an unguarded release out of the backfield at times.

Being that he's at least half of their offense, he needs to be accounted for on every play. The Texans took him away.

I hope Shula is on it this time.

And I never take the whiners game for granted, somehow the F-N breaks always seems to go their way. Fumbles bounce right back to them, batted balls get intercepted if Stafford throws them but falls to the ground if Jones or Purdy throws them. Phantom early whistles prevent us from a fumble return TD. Face mask penalties get missed when it's on the whiners, or punching someone in the head. That and unless our FG team is fixed, that could haunt us in a tight game again.

On the bright side, McVay has started to allow Stafford to throw for scores and our red zone efficiency has been better.

Losing this weekend would be beyond devastating.

Spot on. Easier said than done, but what Houston did to the 49ers is the script. They held them to under 20 points and scored close to 30 points (which included 4/4 on field goals - all relatively short).
And they did it by focusing on McCaffrey who only had 8 carries for 25 yards & 3 receptions for 43 yards. I know the Rams are looking hard at that film. The question is, can they replicate it?

I know Shanny uses multiple sets using multiple TEs or two TE and the FB. Didn't really pay much attention to how much he run a 3 TE set.
I have paid enough attention to know that the Whiner TEs would still be getting open when Kittle went down. Hes very good at scheming up those plays.
We saw success in the passing game with it.
Interesting.
