Something super interesting. In Shannan’s system - the QB doesn’t change the protection (like ever) - he just throws hot when he has to - that’s why if there is a blitz - the RB is often in protection unless he has a free release route as the actual play call. The emphasis on the QB is taken off in passing and more of a just “go play ball” — BUT it is HEAVY in checks in the run game where sometimes there are technically 2-4 different plays in 1 call. (They nearly always get a run into the perfect look) In Lafleur system - the QB is encouraged to get the running back out as often as possible (which requires re-miking, flipping the protection if there are 2 threats, etc) meaning, if there is 1 backer blitzing the QB is “required” to flipper or remike the protection to get the RB out into the pass play - the negative is that this puts more of a presnap* burden on the QB on plays that he has to also physically perform on. Where as in the run game in this system - it’s pretty vanilla and simple to get down. Just another reason imo why a young guy can play well in the Shannan system quicker IF he can master the run game checks - because the pass game is way simpler when you don’t have to change protection every play. Another aspect - every word of every play is on a wristband for the Niners, whereas the Lafleur system is hearing a full play from a coach then having to remember and repeat it versus read it off.
