SANTA CLARA -- On more than one occasion, Kyle Shanahan has said that joint practices are more beneficial than preseason games.with the Saints that were scheduled for this week in Irvine. Surely, this decision wasn't easy for Shanahan. On Monday, he explained why he made it. Here's what he said courtesy of the 49ers p.r. department.
SHANAHAN: “It was tough because we like to do it. In the long run, I waited so long to make the decision because of how much we enjoy doing it. But when we realized we were just doing it because we were enjoying to do it, and trying to change the monotony, that really didn't make it worth. It really wasn't the best thing for our team, with where we're at injury-wise. Love doing that stuff, and love to go out there, but the risk was too much. It outweighed the reward.
SHANAHAN: “That's kind of what I did today. We have a team in two different spots right now. We had like 23 guys miss practice last Thursday, who couldn't play in the game also and most of them starters and things like that. And when that happens, the twos and threes really have to take a heavy load. So today a lot of those guys were sore, but a lot of the other guys hadn't practiced in five days. So we just did the ones today because they needed it.
