Also Greg Cosell has said San Fran are one of the worst defenses on 3rd down and have been ineffective rushing just four.

Shanahan has been pretty inconsistent about how much he has Kittle actually run routes. Has had nothing to do with whether Kittle's injured or not, as far as I can tell. If he goes according to history, Kittle will see less than 6 targets in the SB, which should be a crime. Really good for us, though. Doubt we could cover him if he was running around on most passing snaps. He is a tremendous blocker, but his other receiving skills are largely being wasted, imo.
