From the episode

if Kenneth Walker can't get up the middle, he's just going to bounce it outside, get an explosive anyway. Like it kind of felt like towards the end of the year, they're just like, screw it, Kenneth. You just do it.

STACKED’s take

NeutralUsage

Walker's late-season role shifted to gap scheme with outside-bounce responsibility.

Kenneth Walker's role in the run game evolved late in the 49ers' season; when power and counter schemes weren't working, the team shifted to gap scheme and trusted Walker to bounce runs outside for explosive plays rather than attacking downhill, suggesting his usage may depend on Brian Fleury's run game philosophy in Seattle.
