Kyle Shanahan was noticeably upset in his postgame press conference when asked about the Steve Wilks "zero blitz" call late in the first half that set up a 60-yard Jordan Addison touchdown and sent the Vikings to the locker room with a 16-7 lead on Monday night.
Shanahan provided more context to reporters before Wednesday's 49ers practice about the discussions the head coach alluded to after the game Monday night.
“Yeah he knows, you guys I think talk to him tomorrow, he knows he messed up on that call. I have no problem with zero blitzes, especially when people need a lot of yards. If you need to get 20 yards to kick a field goal, I have no problem with a zero blitz. But I do when there's 16 seconds left. That's where he lost track. There was no necessary need for that just because of the time. I have no problem with that play call, but when it's that time you can't do that. That's not an option.”
