Niners Nation on Kyle Juszczyk
From the article
Shanahan uses Juszczyk in motion creatively. On Thursday, Juszczyk was often aligned as a tight end before he looped across the line of scrimmage, often running a half circle, allowing him to have a running head start as a 235-pound lead blocker.
STACKED’s take
Juszczyk's creative rounded-motion role central to Shanahan's Week 1 offensive scheme
Fullback Kyle Juszczyk was used extensively in Kyle Shanahan's creative motion-based offensive scheme featuring 'rounded motions' and banana-shaped routes. Juszczyk aligned as a tight end before looping across the line of scrimmage in half-circle motions to gain a running head start as a 235-pound lead blocker. On the first snap, he led McCaffrey's 6-yard run; six plays later, he cleared Kam Curl on a 5-yard screen to Kaelon Black. These motions created social-media buzz and drew praise from Fox Kyle Juszczyk Tom Brady, who said 'In 25 years of watching football, I've never seen that exact concept.' The concept was not new—Juszczyk executed similar motions against the Rams in November.
