Scott Dochterman likes the Tim Lester hire & the Kyle Shanahan/49'ers Offense that is to come

Surprising to me bc watching live I felt they didn't motion much, but obviously they did. I guess the added motion didn't "stand out" to me like I thought it would have
Yeah, in my mind’s eye, there were multiple shifts and motions on nearly every play. In reality, they just simply ran somebody in motion a lot more often.
I think that’s why it had the perception of not happening that much. I think they just simply ran motion as much as the average team, which is not something we have seen in recent years.
As a Packer fan, this is exactly what I was hoping to see. There will be 1st year ups and downs but finally an offense.
My son loves the Niners / Packers offenses and was downright giddy halfway thru the 2nd quarter.

i hope the offense doesn't wait to take off until the 2nd half this time around
Lester wanted to cut the 130 offense ranking in half. So far, so good.

That minny game last year was just a giant cluster F all game. It was the most frustrating game I've ever watched at kinnick. A complete clown show on offense, QB play and refsRushing yards:

I noticed Iowa was motioning Gill from side to side, and then back to his original side before the snap. I think that had the Goophers LBs and DBs running away from the point of attack when the ball was snapped.
Going to break my own rule and mention Brian Ferentz. I don't think Brian even considered the idea that more motion would make the offense a little less predictable. Of course, more motion would have probably have just confused Deacon and led to more interceptions.
It's amazing how simply adding motion has made such a huge difference to the Iowa offense.
Thank God Lester came in and started cleaning up the QB room.
Tim Lester, unlike Brian, seems to be taking what he's got talent-wise and utilizing it to the full capacity.
The offense simply looks better coached, starting with the OL and everyone else assigned to block.

Iowa's coordinators all meet with the media today. Lester, PP and Levar.
I think Deacon would have just sat down and cried if there had been motion to the offense.
