I really think that Karpernick is going to make the pro bowl this season.

Last year we didn't have any versatility at the WR position, and Vernon was hurt all year. This year we the perfect combination of WRs.

AB- possession
T.Smith- deep threat
Simpson- red zone target
Bruce- shifty, slot receiver
Patton- He is the one receiver that I don't know how to classify

Also we have Bush, and if he's utilized properly, he's definitely a great target in the passing game.


If the O-Line can consistently give Kap time, combined with the talent we have, he's going to have a exceptional year.

I think Patton can do all of the above, as well as being an excellent down field blocker.

Harbaugh should have been playing him much more earlier, and his tendency to favor his veterans and not give the younger guys that Baalke brought in a chance played a role in ending his tour here, as well as dividing the locker room.

Now that Patton is entering his third year, even without much playing time, he should be even better. As far as being a deep threat, it really helps to have two of those on the field at the same time, so I can see him joining Smith on the outside, with Anquan in the slot. (No 22 or 12 formations).

There are many WRs who play much better if they can get into a groove by playing a lot. Jerry Rice was a good example...he hated being in for a short series because he couldn't set up the DBs or work out various attacks. Neither Patton or Ellington have had the chance to show if they can develop with extensive play...but that might still be a problem with Boldin, Smith and Simpson on the team.
I know it was grant Cohn writing the article but didn't anyone read it? How he looked great with his new technique during warm ups but soon as the team drills started he went back to it old throwing motion and starred down his primary receiver too long

It could be that Cohn's assessment is correct, but given his history I would need some kind of similar assessment from someone like Matt Barrows or Matt Maiocco before I'd give his "observation" credence.

Maiocco "kap working on his check down" lol right at the top, what are you looking at ATT?
Hopefully our offensive line is working on "pass blocking" and the receivers are working on "catching" because Kap wasn't the only issue with the passing game.

Cohn is all about pushing narratives. Eff him.

Since when do journalists replace staff coaches. Thats the opinion that counts.

Are we supposed to be upset he's working on his check downs? I mean in the past he wouldn't even do that, he'd force it somewhere or scramble.

This is a HUGE coaching target. I could NOT be happier. They are literally, teaching him progression reading WITH finally targeting the outlet as the last resort (not running). I can't even begin to explain how significant this drill is for CK's development. It also says so much about our coaching philosophy change as well. I also love that it's the FB (Millard) who gets the ball after 2 reads down field and after the RB (Bush) has released. This means Millard would probably be wide open coming out of the backfield with nobody covering him while everyone is preoccupied with T.Smith, VD, Boldin, Bush, etc.

THE NOT SO GOOD

1. Colin Kaepernick, quarterback, fifth year. Threw a few wild passes. Seemed to muscle up and over-stride on a couple of throws over the middle – one to Garrett Celek, one to Quinton Patton – and both passes sailed high. Also threw a deep pass intended for Dres Anderson that landed out of bounds.

but I thought Kurt Warner fixed him?

And this one is even more special. Two backs (Bush) and (Millard) in the backfield...both cross at the snap and run opposite off tackle. How do you cover that? These would be great early-game calls as these little roll-outs helps calm CK down, get that adrenaline out and settle down while setting him up for quick, easy passes, while giving the defense yet another thing to defend against and think about. Imagine if the defense flows with Bush out of the backfield? Now CK has two options...quick strike to Millard who will be special in the open field OR CK runs while having his FB, Millard, out in front of him. The third option is that even if the defense guesses right and flows to CK/Millard's side of the field, Bush can sit down in the hole behind the RDE.

It looks like to me this is another sign we plan to use the full width of the field...the full 53.5 yards.

All the reports coming out are very positive so KFFC will go against the grain to incite fans to stir up hits to their website. Cohn just suckered you in. J/k

PS: These are OTA's...it has been known that some passes will sail, some players will run the wrong routes, drop passes, confuse terminology, have off days, may work on things that don't make them look as crisp at first, etc.

Like Anthony Davis says, Cohn doesn't even deserve a press pass. Honestly, if we invited a super-biased Seahawk writer to our practices and asked him to write an article on the 49ers, I don't S/HE would be as inciting/negative as KKFC.
