Kyle Shanahan will call those plays on purpose

with the back side look initially not being part of the read. However, if the guys in the box notice that nobody covered the guy, they will come back to it later. He does that a lot with his outside zone play action/half roll.

Of course, now he is calling plays with a very mediocre qb but when he has the horses he is as good a play caller as there is. I am not sure if that is what Kelly and co. were doing here.
