I get the same feeling Sus.

You wanna see one where there's great anticipation not to a checkdown for a big gain? gotcha! And here's an example of how taking those checkdowns early can set up bigger plays - last weeks TD to Celek was another example, btw.

12:32 4th qtr.


This was probably his best throw of the day. We're going run a curls concept against a fire zone blitz. If you've followed these threads for the past couple seasons, you're used to seeing this concept against SEA.

we ran it a couple times earlier in the game as well. It creates a horizontal stretch of the underneath defenders.


You see the 5 man rush from Seattle - just some more confirmation that Sea never went "shell".


Gabbert keeps his head down the middle of the field on his dropback, looking first to the TE. He feels the outside rush and on his plant foot puts his hitch step in to take a step up in the pocket.


You see he's in his throwing motion - Boldin doesn't look anywhere near open. But, he recognizes the zone defense and anticipates Chancellor driving on the outside curl route.


You see how Chancellor breaks off for the outside curl, by keeping his head in the middle of the field he held Thomas off to create room for the seam.


Catch for a big gain.


You see him keeping his head down the middle of the field up to his plant step.


He steps up into the pocket, has great knee bend, good shoulder squaring and is in a prime throwing position.


Delivers the ball just about a foot infront of the numbers to Boldin.

This is one reason why I seem to goosh over the guy right now. That's a pretty darn good play. I'm really liking what I'm seeing. I just hope he continues to play like this. If so, we got a pretty good QB.

What I saw on film: seahawks>49ers

lol his arm strength is just fine, he's got zip

I don't have anymore time today to do breakdowns, but, there was one throw he made to Boldin that was on a curls concept into a TIGHT window. He showed all the armstrength and zip you'd need from a QB on that play. If only we could get a breakdown of that play(I'm looking at you Thl!!! haha)

Yeah this is a nice throw into a small window. I like the keyframe here. As coverage of Boldin is handed off from the Curl defender over to the deep 1/3 defender, that's the window to zip it in there.

That was great throw, with great anticipation.

I don't know if you had the chance yet. But can you break down the two should be interceptions. It looked like the defenders read those plays the whole way.
It seemed like as the game progressed, the Seahawks defense was able to figure out Gab.

Don't think you have to break that one down. Just about everyone who pay attention to the game knows that one

The pass was inches between 2 defender from them to take it away.

We saw how the bomb to Ellington that just missed plays off of a concept the 49ers often run (three level flood). Here's another play where the 49ers play off of a tendency to try to trick SEA and hit a big play.

We've seen the 49ers run the Fade-Out concept often in the past. No doubt SEA has also seen it on film. Refer to the Concepts thread for details on Fade-Out combination.


Looks like an Out route by Celek. SEA is all over it.


Then Celek heads up field to go for the big play.


Pass overthrown. That's twice the 49ers have tried to hit a big play by running a variation of a frequently seen concept. I'm showing this because on the Vance TD catch, it finally pays off. I'll show that later.

I'll show that play later. Here is a play that occurred before the catch that is being referenced in this block of quotes. It's the exact same route combination. This is the play immediately after the deep throw to Celek above.
All Curls vs Cover 3
Blue are the deep zones. The four Curls look to horizontally stretch and flood the underneath zone defenders. Three step timing. Ball must come out or the Curls die standing still.


Read the Hook defender. Three step throw on rhythm. (shotgun snap + 1 step drop).

This one very similar to the one that was almost INT at the end of the game.

The TD drive had a few nice throws. Here is a good anticipation throw in the face of pressure.

Curls vs Cover 1 blitz (I think)


Boone whiffs on blitz pickup as Gabbert starts his windup before Patton exits his break.


Gabbert is crushed as soon as he releases. 3rd down converted.

Later on the drive is that very tight throw to Boldin.
All Curls vs Cover3
Blue are deep zones.

Wow. Gabbert is so amazing to play!
