Assistant Head Coach/Tight Ends Jon Embree

(I know you don’t coach specifically RB Raheem Mostert, but just seeing him in San Francisco for several years, what makes him such a good fit for this wide zone offense?) – “Well, I think the first thing with Raheem (Mostert) is the speed. He can really hit the gap and get through it quickly before it closes, and he’s a lot stronger than I think people give him credit for. He can run through those arm tackles, and he’s good catching the ball out of the backfield. I think in the first quarter, he had a nice pass across the middle (and) broke a couple tackles against Pittsburgh. I think just his whole skillset is just a real good fit for us. Then you throw in the fact that he’s a good size back on top of that. It’s the reason why I think Raheem, if he can stay healthy, can be one of the top backs in the league.”

(Does he look like he did before the injury from Week 1 last year?) – “Yes, he does. He does. I think anytime anybody’s coming back from any kind of injury – knee, shoulder, whatever it is – those first couple of hits, those first couple of games, you realize you’re going to be okay. Then you just kind of forget about it and go play. I think he’s definitely at that stage right now.”
