Does not make any damn sense

 

[largebillsonlyplease]

seattle isn't elite enough to do all of that.

and if they get the calls in correctly false starts and shit won't be a factor and he can make his checks.

when we started the game he came to the line with plenty of time.

it wasn't until later there were problems and that's because the plays are late getting into him

not a problem with a clear and direct game plan that makes sense which i think we'll have on both sides and the calls getting in on time so kap can go and make his adjustments with plenty of time.

we will be focused we will be ok we will show and prove.

we only participate in classics!

this is how football should be. straight up competitive something on the line even in game 2.

as long as we don't give up special teams shit like last time we should win. last time they got a penalty cause of dashon and scored then we came down and they blocked a field goal and returned it for a touch down then got another penalty after a punt and that was it.

Kap man... we gonna do it this time. specially since last time we didn't have hunter to spell gore

Its going to be tough cuts in week 7 or 8 when Manningham, Crabtree, Wright, Carradine, and Dial are eligible to come back.


On a side note:
Why the hell has Clay Matthews NOT been fined yet

 

[largebillsonlyplease]

he won't be fined.

like i told my friend, if this don't prove to everyone that Colin is black, nothing will.

Clay should have been ejected for what he did. the dude from the panthers game got ejected from the game for WAY LESS

Great article highlighting what I talk about with the slant Kap gets as opposed to other qb's

http://www.profootballcentral.com/2013/09/10/has-criticism-of-colin-kaepernick-finally-ended/

Rick Reilly’s January article on ESPN.com titled “A Call Kaepernick Should Make” was a prime example of this. Simply because his own daughter was adopted, Reilly seems to believe that he has the right to give Kaepernick advice in a public platform:

The Kaepernicks have told Colin they’d have no problem with him speaking to Russo (birth mother). They even met with her recently without Colin. But Colin hasn’t budged on the issue. One of his friends told Yahoo! Sports that Colin would think it’s “treasonous” to meet with Russo.

But it’s not. It’s healthy. It’s healing. It’s natural.

Does Reilly know Kaepernick’s personal situation? If so, what does he have to do with it? Far be it for anyone to tell the young man what is healthy and natural in his “relationship” with his birth mother. Besides this being completely out of the realm of professional journalism, it failed to show any type of class and tact.

Earlier in the article, Reilly wrote…

The 49ers’ 25-year-old starting quarterback, Colin Kaepernick, is adopted, too. I wonder if he sometimes feels for the woman who gave him up, who didn’t get the joy of knowing him and raising him.

No, Kaepernick is an unfeeling stooge. He’s just a football player who lives and breathes the pigskin 24/7. He has no life outside of football and was made in a factory in Canton, Ohio. Again, Reilly assumes that his public opinion of a private matter sheds light on the Kaepernick situation. He must be one arrogant individual.

Has Criticism of Colin Kaepernick Finally Ended?
September 10, 2013 by Vincent Frank 1 Comment

COLIN-KAEPERNICKHe ran a college-style offense that won’t translate into the National Football League.

He doesn’t have the pocket awareness or accuracy to succeed at the next level.

He can’t get past his first read and struggles with complex defensive schemes.

These are just a few of the knocks we heard about Colin Kaepernick when the San Francisco 49ers made him a second-round pick back in the 2011 NFL draft. For the old-school scouts, it was more about seeing someone go against the grain of the prototypical drop-back passer and capture the attention of front offices around the league leading up to the draft. They just couldn’t possibly believe that decades of scouting could be turned on its head due to this new-breed of quarterback.

These were the very same scouts that had an issue with the Carolina Panthers selecting Cam Newton No. 1 overall in that draft. No, it wasn’t about skin color for them. It was about the understanding, or lack thereof, that this new generation of quarterbacks could break from the mold.

Heck, I was even guilty of this.

The scouting reports leading up to the 2011 draft may have varied, but there were a ton of common themes.
NFL Draft Geek Scouting Report

NFL Draft Geek Scouting Report

NFL.com filed the following report immediately prior to the ’11 draft:

Kaepernick has enough physical tools to be viewed as a developmental backup quarterback prospect. Experienced, competitive, productive and durable but very raw in terms of making NFL reads and throws. Will need to become accustomed to making pro-style progressions and must improve overall accuracy.

Arm strength is good but needs to tighten up his delivery and work on getting the ball out on time with more consistency. Can make a lot of plays with his feet but will be too confident at times and take unnecessary sacks.

“developmental backup quarterback.” That is a wide-ranging term that could mean a whole heck of a lot of different things. Developmental as in he might turn out to be a good quarterback one day? Maybe developmental in the form of a Tim Tebow? Not exactly sure what that was supposed to mean.

“Very raw in terms of making NFL reads.” Was this because he played in the pistol offense at Nevada? It’s the idea that because someone hasn’t been asked to do something before, it’s reasonable to believe he can’t.

That’s just one example of a “scout” using hyperbole in order to fill words onto a parchment for page clicks. There was no real analysis here, nor was there any concrete evidence that Kaepernick’s game wouldn’t translate to the next level.

Once we viewed Kaepernick in his initial preseason with the San Francisco 49ers back in 2011, a lot of these criticisms seemed warranted. He struggled making specific reads, seemed lost in the pocket and lacked accuracy.

Maybe this is where the term “developmental quarterback” came in. It was readily apparent from day one that Kaepernick wasn’t anywhere near ready to see action as a rookie for San Francisco. Sitting on the bench and learning from Jim Harbaugh as well as starting quarterback Alex Smith in 2011, something seemed to click for the young quarterback. He spent the entire offseason after his rookie campaign working on accuracy and technique concerns.

Once Kaepernick took the field during the 2012 preseason as a sophomore, there were marked improvements. He seemed to be more accurate on the intermediate routes and did a solid job with pocket awareness as well as progressing past his initial read.

Still, he didn’t seem to be quite there yet.

Fast forward to October of last season. Once Smith went out with an injury against the St. Louis Rams, Kaepernick was called into duty and never gave up the job again. I remember tweeting out something to the effect, and I am paraphrasing here “if Smith is out, there goes the 49ers Super Bowl chances.”

See, I wasn’t anywhere near as sold on Kaepernick as some today might think I was.

I wasn’t alone…

Many critics took to the airwaves on the radio, the television screens in our homes and to the computer on the Internet to display some sort of criticism directed at Kaepernick’s ability to lead San Francisco’s offense if Smith was out for an extended period of time.

Once it became clear, especially after his solid performance against the Chicago Bears the following week, that Harbaugh was hellbent on sticking with the young quarterback over Smith, even more criticism was directed out west.

Only this time, it was directed at the head coach; not the quarterback.

Even former 49ers’ quarterback Jeff Garcia chimed in on the situation, mostly looking at it from a fairness standpoint…

Most coaches would have put Alex Smith back in as the starting quarterback as soon as he got over his concussion symptoms. He would have been put back in the starting position because he’s earned it. He’s done the necessary things from a consistency standpoint to be that guy, especially from the outside looking in.

We all know how the remainder of the 2012 season played out for Kaepernick and the 49ers after the loss to St. Louis on the road. They were a couple questionable calls and a bad play or two away from capturing their sixth Lombardi Trophy in the Super Bowl against the Baltimore Ravens. Pure conjecture here, but it is my belief that San Francisco wouldn’t have gotten that far if Kaepernick was still on the sideline holding a clipboard. In fact, he was a primary reason they won the NFC.

Still, the young man couldn’t hide from what would be an onslaught of criticism this past offseason.

From shots at him about his relationship with his birth mother to ignorant remarks about the tattoos he displayed, people still found a way to criticize the quarterback off the field. However, disconcerting this might have been, the criticism about his on-field performance might have struck a cord with those of us who quickly became fans.



Though, these off-field attacks seemed to represent nothing more than a racial double standard around the football world. Placing a young kid under a microscope simply because of the success that he had early in his career.

Rick Reilly’s January article on ESPN.com titled “A Call Kaepernick Should Make” was a prime example of this. Simply because his own daughter was adopted, Reilly seems to believe that he has the right to give Kaepernick advice in a public platform:

Again, Reilly assumes that his public opinion of a private matter sheds light on the Kaepernick situation. He must be one arrogant individual.

Back in November of 2012, David Whitley of The Sporting News wrote an article about Kaepernick’s tattoos that seemed to be more of an attack on his race and personality than anything else. The article started…


Approximately 98.7 percent of the inmates at California’s state prison have tattoos. I don’t know that as fact, but I’ve watched enough “Lockup” to know it’s close to accurate.

We should have stopped reading there, right? After all, the shock effect of the opening sentence which seemed to be vying for page clicks, seemingly compared Kaepernick to inmates in the largest prison population in the United States. This despite the fact that Kaepernick has never been in trouble, that he’s been clean off the field and comes from a great upbringing in California itself.

Whitley didn’t stop there…

Did Sammy Baugh, Johnny Unitas, Doug Williams or Joe Montana have arms covered in ink? Do Tom Brady, Drew Brees or Aaron Rodgers?

No, whitley they didn’t and they don’t. By the way, nice attempt to save face by throwing one African-American into the conversation. Kaepernick possessing religious tattoos means that he can’t be the face of the National Football League, right? He’s a thug. He’s a felon. Heck, he’s the lowest common denominator of the league, right?

Unknowingly, Whitley showed even more racial ignorance later in the article…

Then there are Michael Vick and Terrelle Pryor. Neither exactly fit the CEO image, unless your CEO has done a stretch in Leavenworth or has gotten Ohio State on probation over free tattoos.

Way to compare Kaepernick to to individuals who have had off-field problems. Because all three are African-American and are inked up, they are similar individuals. Again, the media showing that arrogance of ignorant thoughts can receive a tremendous amount of play on the Internet. After all, Whitley’s article received over 1,300 comments and was retweeted nearly 2,000 times.

Kaepernick’s performance was questioned by mainstream experts across the football world.

From indicating that he needs to show he has it upstairs on the field to questions about his ability to read defenses, unfounded skepticism seemed to follow Kaepernick at nearly every turn leading up to the 2013 season. Despite possessing a better SAT score and GPA in college than the likes of Aaron Rodgers and Andrew Luck, some thought it made sense to question his intelligence. While I won’t even come close to questioning the smarts of those two aforementioned quarterbacks, that’s precisely the point. After all, have you heard anyone question whether Rodgers or Luck have the smarts to succeed in the NFL?

San Francisco ran less than one handful of designed read-option plays against Green Bay on Sunday. Instead, it relied on Kaepernick’s arm strength and accuracy to get it done. The young quarterback responded by putting up just the fifth 400-yard, three touchdown, zero interception performance on opening day in the Super Bowl era. It was also the best performance for a 49ers’ quarterback on opening day in the history of the franchise.

The 49ers announced early Wednesday they have placed LB Nick Moody on the Injured Reserve/Designated for Return List. This will create room for Kassim Osgood on the 49ers' 53-man roster.

You have no idea how Im disappointed with Von now...I don't understand how a great talent can act a dayum fool....


I don't even know if Elway wants him or not,when his contract ends...I know Fox is not happy with him,right now...He has a warrant out for his arrest and dude is fucking up the team...


We have a promising DE in Quanterus Smith,who was tied in college for the lead in sacks last year,before he tore his ACL....

I hope Von can get his shit together,because they're having little patience with him....

there's really only so much an organization can take to be honest regardless of the talent.

the promise he's shown already is the only reason he's still on the team now especially since its things that he actually did/didn't do and continues to do.

heard on nfl live that his parents are back with him to give him supervision.. he's a grown ass fucking man i just shook my head

this time out should hopefully refocus him and get him motivated to be great on the field again.

can he practice at the facility and stuff or is he barred from there too?

WAIT A MINUTE

http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/writer/jason-la-canfora/23610187/bucs-lavonte-david-fined-7800-for-late-hit-on-geno-smith

Buccaneers LB Lavonte David, an emerging player in the league who seems primed for a breakout season, not only suffered through the aftermath of his late-hit on Jets QB Geno Smith, but also got fined for his actions, according to a league source.

David's unnecessary roughness penalty set up the Jets comeback win, giving them a field goal chance with seven seconds left to beat the Bucs, 18-17. The youngster took the loss hard, accepting blame for his mistake but saying he thought the quarterback was going to stay in bounds.

His misery was compounded when the NFL office fined him $7,800 for the transgression. With the Bucs 0-1 and facing a re-energized Saints team this week, and head coach Greg Schiano under fire in the locker room, Tampa's season could be reaching a crossroads much sooner than most would expect.

http://espn.go.com/blog/green-bay-packers/post/_/id/771/starter-pack-no-word-on-fine-for-matthews

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- The NFL planned to review the hit Packers linebacker Clay Matthews put on San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick during Sunday’s game, but the league made no announcement about any fine or disciplinary action on Tuesday.

Perhaps they were too busy dealing with Detroit Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh, who was fined a whopping $100,000 for his hit on Minnesota Vikings center John Sullivan on Sunday.

If Matthews is fined, which is likely, don’t expect it to be anywhere in the neighborhood of Suh’s penalty. Matthews doesn’t have a history of disciplinary problems like Suh does.

The NFL typically announces fines on Friday, but Matthews likely would have received notice of a fine by now.

Seattle isn't elite enough to do all of that? Forty-whiner fans stay delusional.

First of all, Boldin had a good game against a shitty-ass Green Bay secondary. But, do you really think his old slow ass is going to have that many catches and yards against the best secondary in the NFL? He's slow as fuck, and we play man/press coverage, vice that shitty-ass zone Green Bay plays. The last time Boldin played against the Seahawks he had less than 30 reception yards. He'll have less than that this time around.

Without Boldin what do you have? Davis? Look at my Sig. That nigga is shook. He won't have a good game. Moreover, Kapernick won't put 300 yards passing (let a lone 400 yards ) against Seattle. Lastly, San Fran didn't have much success running the ball against the Packers, and they won't against the Seahawks either.

Forty-whiners will lose this game big. Maybe not 42-13 big. But they'll lose by more than two touchdowns, and the game will be over by the time the fourth quarter begins.

1st welcome out of hibernation.

2nd no they aren't your back 4 is eons ahead of your front 7 so you can't stop both.

next, boldin doesn't have to be open to make a catch, that's been proven.

you can say what he won't do all you want to. doesn't make it fact or close to what will happen.

lastly green bay spent the entire off season concentrating on stopping the run, and stopping the pistol offense so we didn't even try to run effectively. we just ran for small sense of balance. they sold out on the run and in turn gave up the pass.

seattle i don't believe will sell out on the run. you'll play a mixture which means our game plan has to be aware of that.

so i wouldn't take the packers game as an indicator of our running game, they geared up and sold out for it which is why we didn't

should be a great game. don't think any of the shit will be over by the 4th and 2 touch down win will happen

we'll see.

everybody is crowning you guys.

good luck

Man, how am I supposed to talk shit when you're being all reasonable? It will be a good game. And as much as I hate Jim Harbough, he generally schemes well offensively. The thing that worries me most is the new wrinkle, or two, he'll use to throw our defense off. Moreover, I don't really trust Dan Quinn--our new defensive coordinator--yet.

I take exception to the statement that our front 7 is that far behind our secondary. At DE, we probably won't have Chris Clemons, but Cliff Avril should fill in nicely. And our DT's are proven. Lastly, we have very fast, and instinctive, young LB's who have at least a year's experience now.

It will be a good game. But, honestly, I think our home field gives us too great of an advantage. And as much as I'd like to, I just can't bring myself to wish the 49rs' luck against the Seahawks. The best I can do, for now, is to wish that your team makes it out of the game without any significant injuries.

The best I can do, for now, is to wish that your team makes it out of the game with out any significant injuries.

This is where I believe Mangini will earn his pay. His job is to study your defense and tell Jim what he would do if he was the defensive coordinator to attack and stop the 49er offense. Thus Jim and Greg come with a plan to counteract what would presumably be your plan but its better because its coming from a defensive point of view and not offensive. So it's like we're game planning with your defensive coordinator.


Our line is much better than last year, we couldn't really pass block to save our lives but we could run block i think our pass blocking is way better, especially considering how much pressure gb brought on us. don't take exception to it, your secondary is set, it's tops in the nfl I don't think ours is too far behind but yours can cover longer. Your lb's are fast but vernon is faster and i don't know touch much about the depth for the nickle and dime cb's for your team, not saying bad or good but i don't know. people sleep on the wr position but Patton will make some noise and vernon isn't shook he's looking for redemption.

The crowd is crazy there last year I believe it blitzed us, new england wasn't as loud so we got relaxed. Not an excuse but it tumbled down hill. we for 1-4 in the red zone so we got there we didn't finish.. and then the field goal block returned for a touch down.. just a perfect storm of things to go along with how you guys were playing.

I believe we'll show up and have a good plan. I believe the team is hungry and eager to prove as well as yours is.

So it'll be a good game.

Yea I feel you on the luck thing, I don't want you to win, I just mean luck as in nobody gets hurt we can shake hands afterwards and kill the rest of the competition in the NFL.

neither team is taking it lightly so the respect is there. I don't do the name calling shit like i see on the message boards and stuff

 

[largebillsonlyplease]

What i was talking about with Mangini

If most NFL teams have two coordinators, one offensive and one defensive, in their press-box perch overlooking the field, the 49ers have a distinct advantage.

They really have three.

One week into the season, senior offensive consultant Eric Mangini has come in handy for the 49ers coaching staff. So said the offense’s play-caller on Thursday, entering San Francisco’s Week 2 matchup in Seattle.

“He’s been great. Very, very thorough work put in on us and the opponent,” Greg Roman said. “He contributed to the game plan last week as he will every week. During the game, he’s in the booth with us helping us upstairs, communicate … between series.”

As Roman has alluded to, Mangini may have called a play one name for years in other cities and is now calling the same play something different in the 49ers playbook. He spent much of his previous 15 seasons of coaching on the defensive side of the ball. Obviously then, he brings an expertise Roman can pick from. He sees things from an angle Roman may not.

Now they’re speaking the same language.

“He’s up there, eyes on the defense and between series, we’ll get together and talk," Roman said.

The offensive coordinator added that, while he may script a given game's first series', his play-calling is dependent on the opponent, on the situation and on his fellow coaches. Beyond Mangini, there's a host of voices on the headset that includes quarterbacks coach Geep Chryst and Jim Harbaugh.

“It’s not a board meeting," Roman said of their in-game banter, "but we’re getting to the point where we can communicate a lot more efficiently than we did once we started.”

Of course, Mangini adds something different to the discussion.

The 49ers other coordinator, defense guru Vic Fangio, was asked during training camp whether he had sat down with quarterback Colin Kaepernick to review opposing defenses in advance of games.

“Him and I had never have. Occasionally I would walk by the (quarterbacks’) meeting room and say a thing or two and they’d ask,” Fangio said. “That’s why Eric’s here now.”
