Trey Lance Not Being Featured In Game Plan
3 years agoSan Francisco 49ers rookie first-round quarterback Trey Lance, the No. 3 overall pick, didn't take a single snap in the team's Week 12 win over the Minnesota Vikings and has only played five snaps since spraining his knee in his only career start in Week 5. Lance was used in select goal-line packages early in the year, but head coach Kyle Shanahan's play-calling tendencies have changed as the year has gone on. "It's more about me to tell you the truth," Shanahan said. "In terms of calling plays, We get into a rhythm of attacking a defense and what fronts they are playing and what coverages." Shanahan thinks changing signal-callers could stunt his play-calling abilities. It's not a knock on Lance's dual-threat abilities, but with a lack of opportunities as the year has gone on, Lance has just been an upside bench stash in deeper leagues.
