Patience and Vision
In the 49ers’ new rushing scheme, Hyde will need to exhibit patience before cutting and hitting the hole at top speed. He will also be required to read the blocks in front of him and take what his offensive line gives him.
Over his career, Hyde has successfully run the ball behind a variety of blocking schemes, including many identical or similar to the 49ers’ 2017 scheme. Over training camp and the preseason, Hyde will need to work with coaches to improve his understanding of the scheme and build upon his past successes.
Although he’s usually a quick-hitting running back, Hyde has shown the ability to be patient, and the vision to find creases in the defense:
