Well, the multiple people who asked you to knock it off in the within thread and whomever reported your posts after the last part of your exchange didn't seem to think so.
Someone earlier asked about why Kap was not under center as much as he was the last game when it seemed to really help his game. I ADMIT I turned it off at the half (I had a pressing need to redecorate the closet) but: is it true that he wasn't under center as much, and if so, any theories as to why?

There's really only two reads for Kap here:

His left: The FS over Torrey and the underneath flat backer. If Kap picks this side to read first, then his first read should be the LB since the FS is obviously playing help over Torrey. The LB floats too far back for an EASY quick pass to Patten who may have beaten the LB with his speed after the catch.

His right: This read is easier since Boldin isn't going deep. If Kap picks this side to read first, all he needs to do is ready the LB. This LB floats too far back as well shutting off the Boldin out. Quick hit to Vernon is a no brainer.

What's odd is that Kap climbs the pocket here with two hitches as if he wanted to go deep. WHY!!!!!??? Why would he do that with the FS shading to Torrey's side over the top? All in all, it was terrible recognition on a play that could have picked up close to 1st down yardage.

Actually, Vernon short of the first shouldn't have even been a thought in Kap's mind considering he's horrible after a standstill catch.


What should he have done? You have two burners on your left. With Torrey getting shaded over, it should have been a quick pass to Patton. If that was taken, then that means Boldin's under backer is probably jumping Vernon so you go straight back to Boldin on the out.

Also notice the DT staying back as a spy. Good call on keeping Kap in.
so, a pass to torrey would have been useless?

Personally, I don't think we were confident enough in our ground game or pass pro under center vs Seattle, so play passes under center wouldn't have worked as well. It is true that kaps numbers are better under center from a rating standpoint, but he completes a higher % of passes from the gun. The main difference between the two is his Sterling TD to int ratio under center. Numbers:

CAREER
Gun: 62% 86 rate
Under: 58% 96 rate

2015
Gun: 64% 79 rate
Under: 54% 91 rate

I think the undercenter numbers are being pumped up by a 31 to 6 TD to int Mark for his cAreer. For 2015, he has yet to throw a pick undercenter. The stat we need to see is rating undercenter with no play fake. I just think it a tough ask to move the ball all the time undercenter if the pass game is entirely based on PA. Also within that TD to int Mark is a bunch of goaline TD passes from heavy sets that were essentially a throw to a wide open VD or a throw away.

High-low read to each side versus Cover3 (man cover on backside WR, Sherman vs Torrey).


Kap completes the dropback and looks to Boldin. Because VD and Patton were kept in tight to help widen the pass rushers, they are slow to get into their routes. Blue does a good job impeding Boldin, then takes a deep zone drop and prevents any throwing lane to Boldin's Out.


I get that the 49ers wanted to protect Pears/Staley by lining up Patton and VD next to the OTackles, but that affects the high-low read. Help OL and reduce effectiveness of route combinations, or protect Kap so he can make a throw? One way to beat zones is to get 5 routes in play and move defenders around. Keeping WRs in to protect doesn't help other routes get open as far as route combinations and how they work in unison with one another.


Kap hits a trainer with the pass. Pow! Right in the kisser! Two drives, two 3&outs.
Kap hits his back foot hitch and fire that to smith! I understand the safety is on smiths hash but maybe kap can perhaps use his eyes to manipulate the safety plenty of time in the pocket. Sherman falls and smith is wise ass open with his speed that a td! Smfh dude isn't gonna ever get it period time to move on!

Presnap and the drop showed safety shading over so, considering the OL blocking and presnap read, it wasn't the best initial decision.

I'm not disagreeing with you on that but he was looking right the whole time by doing that the safety sifted his backpedal in that direction he had a clean pocket with enough time for not one but two hitches if he knows it's not there look to the other side of he does its 7 instead a trainer gets concussion protocol!!!
Regardless win or lose, these are still my favorite threads and always a big thanks to THL and Johnny for these. There's always things to look at, how the young guys played, how the coordinators called the game etc.

Yeah, each week the thread gets shorter and shorter in pages. Soon, no one is going to gaf anymore. Usually I am anxious to watch the film. This week I was not.

I was honestly expecting you guys to take a week off, I wouldnt have blamed you.

This thread confirms this is a bad team. I'm mainly on the zone for Marvin's thread and then the coaches film. There's no other reason to go back and forth with folks I don't know on who sucks the most.

The Brock TD, I think we got caught in a different type of cover-2 defense. I've seen it a couple times before, but it's not too common. Where your 2 outside corners act as your 2 deep safeties in a cover 2. So, it allows your safeties to play the hook/curl/seam aggressively, which was a result of how Sea was attacking us. I'll show it in a little bit.



About the only thing good on this play was Brock seemed to make up some ground on the end and on the broadcast replay it looked like he actually got his finger tips on the ball.


Also is it just me or does this look like the top WR is on the line of scrimmage covering up the TE? Possible illegal formation?

With the score 17-0, the 49ers try to get something going with 2:30 left in the 1st half.

Sack #2
Right: Inverted Smash
Left: Levels
versus Cover3


Kap takes the snap and correctly looks to his right towards the Inverted Smash. (Levels doesn't work versus Cover3). Passing windows are small versus good defenses. If a defender has his back turned and is playing with leverage that favors the route, that's 'open'. Bush is running a quick flat route, has outside leverage on the defender. Bush's route breaks to the outside. Bush is "open".


Same moment as pic above. Kap might be looking to Torrey so maybe that's why he didn't pull the trigger. Devey about to give up pressure.


Kap is already scrambling around the pocket, but Bush does end up getting some separation.


Sacked for -4.
