Half Measures Fail 49ers - 49ers Loose To Seahawks - September 2013

Half measures fail the 49ers and they loose to the Seahawks. - The 49ers offense tried blending new pistol ideas with old drop back, complex play calling, motion, formation adjustments and some read options... the results were clear - they harmed more effective, quick play, exhausting, brutal, pistol read ya beat ya strategies... Hawks D was too good for half measures or fools play.... Kaepernick did not read then act on open plays to exhaust their defense, nor did he play to score on every play - instead he was just another NFL pocket passer - who can slide. Can he still be the great Pistol read ya beat ya QB athlete that he was becoming?  He was on track to be the best Pistol QB athlete in the NFL. Is mediocrity as a pocket passing ex-pistol athlete his new destiny?  Kaep was guessing and was confused against the Hawks... end of story. Some of it was his problem and some was coaching error. There are times when a QB takes control and runs his best stuff to win and he chooses when to do this. Kaepernick needs to know when and what he will do when these times arise.... Superbowl end of the game and Hawks game are examples of when Kaepernick needed to go out there and do his best stuff. Kaepernick knows what he does best and he knows how to use it. He is intelligent. No excuses from or for him. What will he do?  Interesting to watch for this next week.

49ers Vs Vikings NFL Football August 25, 2013 Sunday Night - San Francisco Home Team

The San Francisco 49ers home game tomorrow night against Minnesota is shaping up as another wringing of the hands over who to keep.  Protecting players is a good idea however players need also to play well and often to if they are to improve. This preseason has been used to evaluate talent by the 49ers which is a good thing yet some of the competition has used preseason to perfect their play. The 49ers must consider ways to improve the O game during regular season play now, hoping their defense can keep them in early games when the O must grow some legs. Catching up to teams who used preseason more to improve O than to evaluate talent is the next task for the 49ers. Eagle Duck O attack is growing wings from tireless efforts and they will hit the regular season in full stride. Seahawks, Lions, and Eagles, are each improving O during pre-season as a focus. The 49ers protected health and evaluated talent as their preseason focus. Perfect or evaluate, the balance is a concern for all teams.
