The Shanahan offense is everything I wish the Stanford offense could be. Stay true to our run oriented, west coast roots, but so much more creative. Lots of misdirection on runs, heavy use of play action, anything to keep the defense guessing and from playing downhill. Here’s hoping Shaw spends some time with Shanahan, or poaches a member of his staff. 

One play that comes to mind is the Debo Samuel TD run. Blocked like a standard trap, there was a jet sweep motion (pure decoy) and the handoff went inside to the slot WR who cut it upfield like a typical power. Caught defense flat footed — Touchdown. Brilliant play design

I feel like there’s 5-6 of these every game you could point to.
