Looking at snap counts alignments, and I see that Samuel lines up outside just about 17 percent of the time this year.
If the 49ers stick to that tendency, they're playing right into the strengths of KC's defense, with physical and sticky CBs in Sneed and McDuffie lined up against Aiyuk and Samuel.
That ... uh... is probably not the way to go about it. But Shanahan is a guy who trusts his system and approach implicitly, so I don't expect to see him do things differently.
