San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan and full back Kyle Jashik are taking part

in a flag football tournament in Los Angeles this week.

Shanahan is coaching a team, while Jash Suck gets to play more hands-on than in his usual

NFL role.

For Jashik, it's a fun chance to handle the ball and run routes without just going in

motion on offense.

Shanahan, though, has a packed schedule with the team's draft prep and ongoing free agency

moves.

Some fans and analysts question if Shanahan should skip this for film study and player

interviews back in Santa Clara.

They see it as a distraction when the 49ers need focus on building the roster.

Others know it could be a light break, or even a paid gig during the offseason low.

Just Shik benefits more directly from the action on the field.

The tournament rolls on, giving these pros a casual outlet before NFL duties ramp

up again.
