49ers Kyle Shanahan got a lil testy with question about special teams 😅

[@abnushagnasty805]

😂 Yep. I immediately thought of him after reading the title.

[@mr.nuna916]

Just....get rid of Moody.

[@fualexander7798]

Moody has got to go. He lost us the Super Bowl. And let's be frank here, he has been missing kicks pretty much from the moment he stepped onto the field in a 9ers uniform. In fact, his misses were so bad in his rookie year whereby the bulk of the fanbase was calling to get Robbie back before the playoffs. Remember that? To date, he is still regularly missing kicks for the 9ers. It is just unacceptable. When he was injured, some of the stand-ins from the streets actually did quite well. You don't need to draft a kicker for cry out loud!

[@16ktsgamma]

Moody isn't going to solve the Special Teams mistakes.

[@PJ12Fr]

I know this sounds crazy, but Jake moody isn’t all to blame for the kicks. While that sounds stupid, if you watch the tape, especially the lions game, his holder would straight up hold the ball wrong and even drop it at times. Also, Moody started missing kicks when Wishnowski was hurt, so his holder might be why his kicks were bad. Just watch a video on it, it’s crazy

[@mr.nuna916]

@@16ktsgamma the punt team and kickers are part of special teams. Moody has contributed to a shit ton of Miss points this season

[@stevegooch1776]

There are lots of former NFL kickers making the point that the holder has been the main issue in the FG game, and Moody being young probably isn't saying anything to anyone. Robbie literally taught Mitch how to hold, and that was starting from a blank Australian mold who had never held before. This one thing might be the most underrated or underappreciated part of having a veteran who knew how to bitch to get his way. Jake will be okay, and I know that's hard to take. He just needs a proper holder.

[@PaulGaither]

That question was PERFECT. Especially the snap back by the reporter who quoted Kyle who said he doesn't watch kicker tryouts and how Kyle has said repeatedly that all he asks of special teams is that they don't lose you the game. It is accurate to say that Kyle has no interest in special teams.

[@PaulGaither]

Do you know the last time the 49ers had a kick or punt returned for a TD? Tedd Ginn Jr under Jim Harbaugh. Do you know that in 8 years there has not been one special teams trick play that was called? Mitch Wishnowski improvised on his keeper because he saw a wide open lane. Not Kyle on film. Not the ST coach. Just in the moment he did it himself.

[@cooterdavenport-te8yq]

how come nobody asked why they lose leads in the 4th.. why do they always collapse

[@balln415]

Is it just me but I found Kyle's response that Schneider ended up being the fall guy odd. I interpret the fall guy as someone who is wrongfully blamed.

[@Canit19]

@@cooterdavenport-te8yq they did ask that, did you not watch the presser?

That's what you get when daddy Mike surrounds his son with staff who won't push back (earlier in his coaching career with Wash) and Kyle has never taken it upon himself to grow into comfort with challenge from others. Great leaders surround themselves with people who are even smarter than they are and they're secure enough in their intelligence and ability to do that. Kyle's not ACTUALLY CONFIDENT AND SECURE. He's cocky and arrogant and it's a mask for failings and insecurities. Leaders (and great leaders) do the following 1) Invest in their subordinates' strengths [and empower them] 2) Surround themselves with the right people and maximize their team 3) Understand their followers' needs [and adapt]

[@dnycednyce1774]

Dam i thought it was a Grant special 😂

[@leonidas9969]

Smh ST Been bad for the past 3 yrs nothing happened should have cut moody after the SB and kept Carlson. The kick coverage was ass and to many missed tackles for a big gain for the other team

[@gfrerking]

The Carlson who missed the 41 yard FG against the 49ers in the playoffs last year... giving the 49ers the chance to win? That Carlson? The one who had a worse FG % last year than Moody? Makes sense. (facepalm)

[@Yellow_Flannel]

I like that my coach has a little bit of edge to him, also credit to John for stepping in and giving Kyle a chance to formulate a complete answer.

[@profniner80]

fair enough, u do need some of that but where is it when the game is happening? he's only arrogant towards ppl he sees as inferior

[@kroq93er]

Assuming Kyle doesn't care about special teams is like telling the journalist they don't care about the stories they write. Kyle is the HC he cares about all the aspects of his team.

[@profniner80]

@@kroq93er Look, you're entitled to your opinion but the guy has explicitly said "I just want them to not lose the game for me" and got pissy and defensive when called on it like he always does when someone challenges him. It's all there, u just have to open ur eyes and see it for what it is.

[@ConcernedNinerFan]

Kyle got testy because they know they made bad decisions on Moody and special teams coach. Of course, Kyle and John won't give you straight answers. It's always about how they feel about the player and how special he is.

[@ComposerConductor]

I agree with Kyle. That question was a gaslighting question. No matter what Kyle would say, he would get scolded.

Being held accountable as a head coach shouldn't be problematic. I don't think Kyle evaluates the team as a whole just the offense because that's his specialty.

And Kyle's offense isst as great as many purport it is. He's no offensive guru and if the rumor/report is true, giving control to an OC will at least help the offense improve. Still many other areas to address.

I couldn't imagine being in Kyle's position and having to speak to the press. It drives me crazy when someone claims to read my mind like that.

Damned if he does, damned if he doesn't - and I'm not even talking about the jerks out there intentionally twisting his words, putting words in his mouth and generally stirring up crap for clickbait.
