The Facts: White, a four-team Pro Bowler and holder of all of the team’s key receiving records, is not worried about his role being diminished in the new offense. White spoke about the new offense, which is being installed by OC Kyle Shanahan on Sunday. “I just don’t think we’re going to go out there and throw it 30, 40 times a game like we did in the past,” White said. “I’m not saying that we didn’t like that, but it’s going to be different. We have to get back to our old (style) where we run the football. Play-action passes and convert on third downs.”

Diehards Line: White has 765 receptions for 10,357 yards and 62 touchdowns, all team records. Last season, White had 125 targets and made 80 catches for 921 yards and seven touchdowns. He’s not worried about receiving fewer targets in the news scheme. “I’ve never concerned myself about that,” White said. “When we had Mike Mularkey (as offensive coordinator), we ran the ball and we found ways to get me the ball. I never worry about passes or things like that. My opportunities are going to come. I just have got to hold onto the ball and make my plays when I have to make them.” The new coaching staff is installing the outside-zone perimeter running game. But to assume the team's passing attack won't be a major part of the scheme seems like it would be unwise given their personnel.
