I agree Carrier is our savior

I'm not sure HaRo have those routes in the book but they should be. The last really good TE we had that could run those routes was Eric Johnson, and he was very good.

Delaine Walker was exceptional at running these routes. I still think Walker/Davis was our best TE combo that we've had in a long time.

Walker was a nice compliment to Davis but he still wasn't that guy that sees the open area, goes there and sits down for the quick release. Jason Witten is going to the Hall of Fame for setting the standard for that type of TE. I am beginning to think Harbaugh doesn't have that in his offense although I see some instances where there is a receiver in a short zone but rarely sees the ball.

Johnny, i think he hesitates too often and it causes him to hold the ball too long. He holds it too long, gets into scramble mode or we get a holding penalty because he's still got the ball. I don't believe these guys ain't getting open at some point in their route, he's just missing the initial window, getting him deeper into the progressions where the defense thinks its more likely to see him force a pass. What do you think?

Kap is like young Alex Smith with a stronger arm. He will only throw it once someone opens up and he sees it. He will not throw with anticipation. He will just rely on his arm being able to gun it in there late.

This is a continuation from post #23 (the hard way to attack cover3).

Here, the 49ers run zone busters to both sides of the formation. This is in the 2nd quarter and it's no secret that CHI is playing cover3 as if that's all they know. Keep the 1st Fuller INT in mind as this play is shown.

From the DAL game, the route combination to Kap's left should be familiar. To Kap's right, Crabs will run a Curl to attack the CB that is bailing to his deep third zone responsibility. Get the CB to turn and bail, then quickly Curl it for separation.


The CB (blue arrow) is shown bailing. Crabs starts to curl his route. Kap is mid wind up. To Kap's left, the route combo has created a little space for Boldin. Enough for Kap to zip one in there if he wishes to. Versus DAL, the 49ers hit the Curl in this route combo several times. A short quick throw to secure 7-9 yards. Here, Kap goes backside. The benefit to hitting the backside Curl is less defenders in the area which means more chance for RAC.


8 yard catch + 12 yards RAC. This is a long throw to the sidelines. This play might be why they try it again later in the game. When they try it later in the game, it's an INT by Fuller.

I was talking to my brother the other day who is a long time Packer fan...he said Kap really reminds him of Favre in the early stages of his career in terms of decision making and reliance on arm strength.. He'd have performances similar to Kap's Sunday Night game and the next week, dazzle everyone...I tend to agree. It is what it is...
This game exposed the conservative thinking of this coaching staff once we get a lead and how they rely too heavily on the defense. No killer instinct

I do have to disagree there a little bit. While he does still tend to stare down some receivers, which I think is more the result of his confidence in correctly reading the defense, he has shown the ability, on many occasions, to throw with anticipation and timing. He'll stare down receivers when he thinks he's read the defense right pre-snap and has decided where he's going with the ball(at least what it looks like, I can't be in his head so I can't say for certain). The problem this will create is what we saw on the Conte INT, he'll ignore some of the little nuances of looking guys off.

I'm not sure how your QB throwing 2 picks on the opening play of two drives constitutes the coaching staff as having, 'no killer instinct". In most peoples' minds, that would constitute a coaching staff being too aggressive - just saying.

There were others too. Most of the roster played well, but a few players had terrible games and it cost us.

On the first play he was talking about, I think Kap was ready to throw to Crab but Martin got beat bad and he felt the pressure. Its easy to pause a film and make it seem like he's open but in real time it was all pressure.

Woah. I was just looking at that play thinking the same thing as what Cossell wrote. I decided to pass on it (cutting it up) because I thought it was excusable due to the pressure he faced. It's a very close call between when Crabs clears the underneath LB to open a throwing lane, and when Kap needs to escape from the pocket or take a big hit.

I'll just add to what Cossell already posted.
Cover3. Crabs on an In route.


At this point, Crabs has not cleared the underneath curl/flat defender (blue). There is no throwing lane yet. Young has already beaten JMartin.


If there's a time to throw it and take a hit, it's now - just as Crabs is about to clear the range of the curl/flat defender. Kap just started his attempt at escaping pressure.


It's a very close call to make, whether Kap had time to hang in there and wait till Crabs became open. I didn't think it was a good example of Kap not making anticipation throws. I thought the pressure came too fast here. I found other examples of the point Cossell was trying to make. I hope to get to it tomorrow.

I'll get to one now. This would have been a better example of the point Cossell was trying to make.

4th Quarter
11:01
1st & 10

Here, CHI comes with a 5 man rush with a cover 3 shell and 3 underneath zone defenders. 49ers go hi-low along the right sidelines using the Sail concept. The blue defender is the key defender for Kap. He is the defender that will determine where Kap should throw.


The blue defender has committed to Miller in the flat. This means the throw must go to VD. His defender has inside leverage and VD is about to break outside. That's a win for VD. Kap should start working to get his body into a throwing position.


He should now be in a throwing motion.


Kap not pulling the trigger.
