The pivotal moment in the Super Bowl loss to the Chiefs for the 49ers came when their was a blocking blunder by right guard Spencer Burford. It is a blunder that offensive line coach Chris Foerster blames himself for.
One of the most admirable things a coach can do is take the blame away from a player that made a mistake and make it his own.San Francisco 49ers offensive line coach and run game coordinator Chris Foerster
In overtime, the 49ers had a chance to seal the game but failed due to Burford's mistake of allowing a free rusher. It was something that Burford took ownership of and laments over to this day, but Foerster didn't want that spotlight on his player. Instead, he wants all the blame to be pointed at himself for why that blunder occurred.
This is amazing leadership by Foerster. He's trying to redirect all criticism towards himself so that Burford doesn't get in his own head, which can create confidence issues or mental breakdowns. Now, it is interesting that he is doing this now instead of before, but this is only because it's the first time he's been asked about this publicly.
