What happened: ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky highlighted the San Francisco 49Ers' rushing scheme during a film breakdown. He noted the offense uses identical pre-snap presentations to execute completely different run concepts.

Why it matters: The scheme diversity makes it increasingly difficult for opposing defenses to read their keys and fit run gaps correctly. This ability to disguise intentions remains a core element of the offensive system.

What to watch: Opposing linebackers will continue searching for ways to counteract the disguised concepts during the 2026 season.
