Head Coach Kyle Shanahan Press Conference – December 9, 2018 San Francisco 49ers vs. Denver Broncos Opening comments: “Before we start just wanted to say, everyone knows the tragic stuff we dealt with yesterday, losing Tony York. This game was definitely for him. Getting to know the Yorks the last two years, the one thing that was so apparent to me about Tony, the times I’ve been around him, he was the biggest Niners fan out of any of them and really out of anyone I’ve been around since I’ve been in San Fran. Yeah, he is an owner, but just the true fan he was for the Niners always was so fun to watch. That’s what was so cool about him. For us to have a win today with what happened to him yesterday, it means a ton. I know it means a lot to the York family. He was a special person who will be missed a lot. Prayers are with all the Yorks today. Jed was able to come and we just had a special moment with him in the locker room. I know his parents weren’t and we’re there with them and I hope everyone’s prayers are for them. “The injuries today, [DB Tarvarius] T Moore, he had a stinger but he returned and [CB Ahkello] Witherspoon had an ankle, but he returned. Alright, go ahead.” When TE George Kittle is getting those kind of plays, are you just calling his number to take advantage of this or was it just happening naturally? “We always try to call Kittle’s number, but it depends what the coverages are.
