SANTA CLARA — It’s easy to forget that Kyle Shanahan’s vision of his offense going into the season was more similar to that of the Philadelphia Eagles than what he will operate with the 49ers Sunday in the NFC Championship Game.
The 49ers are at their best when Purdy gets the ball out of his hands. When Purdy does go off schedule, he’s not looking to run. Instead, he wants to buy some time until he can find Christian McCaffrey, Deebo Samuel, George Kittle or Brandon Aiyuk. In Week 2, Lance was 2 of 3 for 30 yards and rushed three times for 13 yards before being injured, giving way to Jimmy Garoppolo. Over two games, that’s 15 complete passes and 16 rushes. While the ratio wouldn’t have been as extreme if Lance had remained healthy, it was clear Shanahan had every intention of tweaking his offense with designed runs for his quarterback.

The Eagles still weren’t sure at the time if Carson Wentz would be their quarterback going forward, with Hurts as an intriguing insurance policy.
