Coach Kyle Shanahan knows it's a challenge to keep all of his playmakers involved in the San Francisco 49ers' offense after the addition of Christian McCaffrey.
Imagine how hard it is to defend a group that features McCaffrey and Elijah Mitchell at running back, receivers Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk, and versatile tight end George Kittle."They've got playmakers at the receiver position, they've got playmakers at the tight end position. They've got playmakers in the running back position," coach Dennis Allen said."That makes it challenging in terms of, 'Who are you trying to take away?' ... It makes it tough.
"Three second-half shutouts in a row is winning football, and if we can keep that up, then with our offense we're going to be a tough team to beat," defensive end Nick Bosa said.The Saints were without more than a half-dozen prominent players during last week's victory over the Los Angeles Rams who have tried to return to practice this week on at least a limited basis.
Those players"are obviously the guys that we were counting on this season," Allen said."Any time you can get them back out in practice for whatever amount you're able to get them back out there brings a lift to the team."Saints tight end Juwan Johnson began his NFL career as an undrafted receiver out of Oregon.
