If they aren't going to use Kaeps strongest weapons (legs).. I'm done with him as our qb. His throws are inaccurate.. he shoves his chest into our offensive lines backs. And cant make the simple touch passes. . We can't win anything if our offense consists of miracle/ lucky plays, and our defense playing 80 percent of the time.
 
Number 2 and 1 for passing tds and rating outside of the pocket. Stop making him a pocket passer, he doesn't have that kind of vision. If so, it is super inconsistent.
 
Sorry for the vent, don't wanna lose to the raiders, and I don't want to beat them with our offense only scoring 9 points.
 
Tarrell Brown talks 49ers


[COLOR=#red]On extra meaning for playing former team:[/COLOR]

Nah, it's just a normal game for me. You try to approach every game the same way, prepare throughout the week, and get yourself ready to play. Go out there and try to have the best game you can.

[COLOR=#red]On transitioning to new team after career with 49ers:[/COLOR]

It's definitely different, something you have to adjust with on the fly. Being there for seven years, that's all I knew. Going somewhere else, other coaches, locker room is different, atmosphere is different. Everything overall is different, but the good thing is you adjust to it, you learn, and you take the good and the bad with both, and just try to adjust and make the best out of every situation you're put into.

[COLOR=#red]On working with Charles Woodson:[/COLOR]

Oh, it's amazing. Just being able to come in early with that guy. We're two early birds, so we like to get in early and get our work in. Just watching him approach the game after 17 years, and the hunger and the passion that he still has for it. How he flies around on Sundays, and just seeing the guy that you see on TV, and you see why he's so successful in this league because he puts in the work throughout the week to make him successful on Sundays.

[COLOR=#red]On Harbaugh rumors and if it surprises them:[/COLOR]

Well y'all know, as we know in this profession, so many rumors come and go through the league as far as players, as far as coaches as well. So you can't really harp on that or get to deep into that because you never really know. There are always rumors until something else prevails, and something else happens. For me, from afar reading into it, I don't read too much into those things until I see it happen. Then I'll take it for what it's worth and go from there. But I think having a coach like that, with an organization and as much winning as he's had, and the ability to come in and change the organization around, I wouldn't think that they would get rid of a type of guy like that. But you never know. This business is up and down, and you just wait and see what happens.

[COLOR=#red]On if he enjoyed playing for Harbaugh:[/COLOR]

Oh yea, most definitely. He's a great coach, he's a great competitor. Just being around him, day in and day out, you see why guys like to play for him, why guys try to understand him as far as being a competitor. Us as players, we don't always agree what the coaches might think, or the coaches decision. But at the same time, you know that he's trying to put his best foot forward, and trying to help the team. And he's always been the type of guy who's always been about the team. He's not about one player, or one coach, or one decision or whatever.

[COLOR=#red]On Frank Gore:[/COLOR]

I think he's the guy that keeps the train rolling, to be honest with you. Every successful game that they've had this year, he's started the game off physical and running the ball. And they've had a great job of doing that, and that's the identity of their offense; to be physical, to run the ball, get the ball in his hands, and then the rest of the passing game feeds off of that. So my opinion, Frank is the train that runs that offense.

[COLOR=#red]On Vernon Davis struggles and potentially injury related:[/COLOR]

Oh yes, it's always something. What people don't realize is that each year, you can't live in the past, each year is a new past. You'll deal with different types of injuries, you'll deal with different types of setbacks, different types of obstacles to overcome each year. It's not gonna always be that magical year every year you come out and play football. The thing that I can see with Vernon is that he's trying to stay consistent and come in and try to do his job. I think being a player that's used to getting the ball multiple times, and so many weapons on the offense, it definitely takes away from your opportunities. But at the same time, you have to take advantage when you do get the opportunities. Those guys, and Vernon included, it's only one football and there's a lot of athletes out there that can make a lot of plays. They just have to go out and do their jobs.

[COLOR=#red]On 49ers deep threat with Vernon struggling:[/COLOR]

I think all the guys do a good job of making plays. I wouldn't just pinpoint one guy and say he's the deep threat guy. I think Kap spreads the ball around really well, gets the ball into his playmakers hands, and let those guys do the rest. We have to come out and play a physical game. We have to come out and be fundamentally sound and disciplined in our checks and our reads to have a successful day. All those guys, so many weapons on the offensive side of the ball, all those guys can potentially hurt you. Can turn a short gain into YAC yards really quick. For us, we have to be sure tacklers, be physical, and just come out and play Oakland Raider football.

[COLOR=#red]On 49ers offensive struggles:[/COLOR]

All I really watch is the games and the film study. I don't really look into their stats from last year, or those kinds of things. All I can see is guys out there making plays. Still over .500, 7-5 team, a team that can still get into the playoffs. A team that's still capable of coming out and being an explosive offense. A team that's capable of getting a lot of turnovers. For us, and me included, you just gotta be fundamentally sound and do your job. You have to win your one-on-one battles. Like you said, bringing in a lot of different weapons, there's only one football to share around, so a lot of guys have to be unselfish in that way, and just try to help in different areas. So that's what I kind of see from that offense. I see guys making plays, I see guys doing whatever it takes to get a win.

[COLOR=#red]On the job Vic Fangio did in 2011 after lockout:[/COLOR]

Well, bringing in a group of guys that have never played together, didn't really have a full offseason together. But one thing you can say about Coach Fangio is that he's an amazing coach, he has an amazing staff with him. And he's a very, very bright guy. He picks up things really well, puts guys in position to make plays, and it's your job to go out there and make the plays. I think he's doing a great job this year with the same thing, losing a guy and bringing guys in, and having guys step up and make plays as well. I wouldn't see anything different from him. I know he's a very aggressive coach, has aggressive play-style calling. He's always been a great defensive-minded coach, and always been a great defensive coordinator in my eyes.

Harbaughs transcript from Wednesday press conference.


Were you able to get a lot done out there?

"Yeah. It was good focus. We did get a lot done. Could rain Sunday, so, it was good to get that work in the rain as well."


I noticed 49ers security coordinator Mike Hughes was out there.

"Great to have him back."


Did you get a chance to deliver the ball to him?

"Not yet, no. As you know, we dedicated the game ball to Mike for the New Orleans game, and dedicated it to him before the game. Guys did a great job of getting that win. Dedicate a ball to somebody, dedicate a game to somebody, then, boy, you better win it."


Risky, isn't it?

"[Laughter] You got to win it if you're going to dedicate one to somebody. Great to see Mike back. Looks good. That's a big boost to have him back."


We saw T Anthony Davis go into the weight room. Does that mean he's progressing through the concussion protocol better than a week ago?

"Yes. He was doing cardio today and will lift today."


Did T Joe Staley come out for practice?

"No, he wasn't feeling good. Throwing up [laughter]. Had a bug."


After Thursday's game, did you sense this team's confidence was shaken after that game?

"I sensed everybody was unhappy about losing the football game and that's the case."


Is it something that you've had to build back up this week? Do you notice a change in their mindset?

"No, the mindset is to win the next game. They've done a good job in that regard. You can't do anything about that one."


You said time and again that your focus this week is on this week's opponent and getting things right, fixing the things that need to be fixed. But back at the alma mater, your alma mater, there's a job opening there, and not that you're even thinking about that, but any thoughts on what's happening back with Michigan and what's happening there?

"I think about only my job. Went through a lot of those types of questions on Monday. Concentrating on what effects our football."


I guess it's just interesting that the Michigan job opened up yesterday after Monday's presser, so.


FB Bruce Miller said we like the check downs for first downs and touchdowns. And when I looked at the game a second time the other day, there were a couple of opportunities that QB Colin Kaepernick had to check down and didn't see it for one reason or another. Is that something that you want to accentuate more or that you're working with him on because it seems to be maybe one thing that could help him get over the hump a little bit?

"We're going forward. Probably a lot of things that you could pick up, pick out from the last game. We didn't play our best football. We're moving on without excuse or apology. Going to make it right this week. That's our intention."


How does Colin go back and look over that last game? Does he really dig into the game film on that for a day or two or does he quickly review it and move on to the Raiders?

"Reviews it and moves on to the next game."


Do you do it with him?

"Yeah."


Last week you talked about how well he's playing and everything along those lines. But do you think that, he came out in 2012 and played so well just from the beginning, that maybe he just set the bar so high as far as expectations that people expect him just to get better and better and better statistically every season?

"His approach and ours, he does a great job. Our coaches do a great job, our players do. It's the work. That's our approach."


Do you pay any attention to that, to the statistical data, completion percentage, touchdowns, interceptions, passes per attempt? Do you look at that? Do those numbers mean anything to you?

"Yeah."


But what means more? For you, is it just the eyeball test and how he's performing to certain plays? How do you evaluate a quarterback such as Colin?

"Doing his job."


Is there a decision or a strategy with him to do less pistol, less read-option this year, more keeping him in the pocket? Is that a kind of concerted effort to change him from a quarterback that runs?

"No."


So, is it just coincidental?

"All those options are open."


But why not use it as much this year as in previous or are you using it as much as in previous?

"No. It has not been a concerted effort."


On television it looked like you called the plays during the second half Thursday night. Was that the case?

"No."


From watching the Raiders and getting prepared for them, what stands out about just what you think about how they're going to present as a challenge?

"Stingy. On the defensive side of the ball, they're a stingy team for every yard. They'll fight you for every single yard. Very physical team. They run extremely well. They've got some outstanding players. [Raiders LB] Khalil Mack is an outstanding football player. [Raiders DE] Justin Tuck is playing extremely well. You can see the leadership that he's providing. [Raiders CB] Charles Woodson, 17 years in the league. He is running, he's hitting, doing a great job of undercutting routes. It's a very physical, good defense."


What do you see out of Raiders CB Tarell Brown?

"Same. He's doing a very good job at diagnosing routes. He's very good at having the instincts to play the route. He'll sit on routes. He gets involved with the breakups and he's looking to be in position to get interceptions. A lot of respect for his game. And [Raiders CB DJ] Hayden's a very good corner as well. Great makeup speed, great speed and ability."


FB Bruce Miller said Monday that defenses aren't reacting to all the motions and switches as they have in the past three years when you guys were more successful in the running game. How do you guys overcome that at this point? Do you continue to focus on one-on-one battles or do you guys need to changeup what you're doing?

"Both. Focus on one-on-one battles?"


Yeah.

"Yeah and as a unit. Both of those things are critical."


Is your success in the running game, how much of that was dependent on rhythm that you were able to gather throughout games last year? It just doesn't seem like the rhythm has been there offensively this year.

"Like I said, there's probably a lot of things that you could pick and point to and we're working to get it right."


You spoke on Monday about what you need to do better as a coach. What are those things, adjustments, you make week to week?

"What you control. Preparing the team for the football game this Sunday. And players preparing themselves to put themselves in a position to have success on Sunday. Those are the things that you can control."


Will WR Bruce Ellington, is he back at full-strength and will he resume his role as punt returner?

"It looks that way. He looked good today, had a good practice."


How do you think he's done in that regard so far this season?

"Good. He's done a good job. First year doing it he's had a knack. He's had an instinct for it. He's made some very good decisions."


Speaking of controlling what you can control, I was driving down from Marin and I heard your name once or twice on sports talk radio. Have you been able to keep that turbulence out of the room? Are you sensing that you still have the player's full attention?

"Yeah. And we really talked about a lot of that on Monday. And now that's what we're doing."

Watching that game and then watching Rodgers play on Sunday, it was just unreal at how far Kaep is from the upper echelon. I used to think that Kaep was getting jobbed when he was being put as like the 16th best QB in the league but the pundits have been right. :{

I can't remember the last time I saw him made a legit touch pass like you said or complete a successful fade route in the endzone.

Where was all this negativity towards Kap a few yrs ago?!?!

What does this even mean??? You currently hold him to the same standards you did in seasons past?

There's a supposed to be a linear progression of advancement for professional QBs. You're supposed to get better, not worse.

The league will find and exploit your weaknesses over time, and the good quarterbacks make their own adjustment. Kap has been exposed and he isn't showing adequate development or adjustment to what defenses are doing. Play soft zones and he will find his receiver; however, play man outside, send the dogs and KAP IS TRASH

What the hell happened to the guy that debuted against the bears in 2012, progressed from the frontside to the backside of plays and hit crabtree in stride across his body on the run, and was throwing with such dazzling touch???

You're only as good as your last game and KAP WAS GOD DAMN ******* PATHETIC IN HIS LAST GAME.

Aldon already plays DE for the most part. Lynch natural position is DE specialty pass rusher. Both very similar players and Id hope they can adapt to hand in the dirt.
Click to expand...
yea

Aldon would be a leo in a 4-3. we could use the same 4-3 system seacocks use, which was originally created by former 49er coach George Seifert.

I think it would be beautiful. I am a biased to the 4-3 myself because it was the first defensive scheme i ever learned.

however, fangio is a 3-4 guy from the school of dom capers so its very unlikely we switch unless vic is gone.

the lines are so blurred in contemporary football that all defenses are ambiguous. they all have elements of 4-3, 3-4 and vice versa now.

I'm gonna blame his arrogance. Back then he had to study the plays in case he ever got a shot to win a job.

Now he studies all them thots in instagram and makes his read based on who has the phatest booty.

i am not giving up on kap. i am just being as objective as possible with my observations. i dont give a **** who it is whether its bowman, kap, frank, etc. i am going to keep it 100 and be as honest as possible.

anyone else hear that the dissension between baalke and harbaugh goes back to the 2011 draft: harbaugh wanted kap so bad that he wanted baalke to take him in the 1st, but baalke told him to **** off and instead took aldon "the pass rush god" smith.

if harbaugh bounces kap goes too. there's no way baalke keeps this dude.

I'll reserve judgement until I see a healthy offensive line....But Kap is playing like trash right now. He reads defenses as good as he articulates interview questions.
 
 Chris Borland Named NFL Defensive Rookie of the Month for November

November was a good month for Chris Borland.

In fact, it was so good, the San Francisco 49ers linebacker was selected as the NFL's Defensive Rookie of the Month for November.

Borland is also in great company in receiving the honor.

 

tempBorland_C_4_NO_MZ_14--nfl_mezz_1280_1024.JPG

He joins 49ers linebackers Patrick Willis  and Aldon Smith  as the only San Francisco linebackers to win the honor. 

Borland's performance in November was outstanding to say the least. With Willis placed on season-ending Injured Reserve on Nov. 11, Borland, the third-round draft pick out of Wisconsin, filled in exceptionally for the perennial Pro Bowl performer. 

"Borland's come in there and done some stuff you really can't teach," defensive tackle Justin Smith  said on Wednesday. "I think he's going to be a special player down the road."

Borland totalted 17 tackles and recovered an overtime fumble against the New Orleans Saints to help the 49ers win a crucial road game on Nov. 9. The following week, Borland recorded 13 tackles and two interceptions in a road win against the New York Giants. He was named NFL Rookie of the Week for both performances. He was also awarded NFC Defensive Player of the Week for his outing in New York.

Borland is the only player in the past 20 years with 70-plus tackles and two interceptions in a calendar month. He also led the NFL with 70 tackles in November.

Because of his consistent performance, Borland climbed atop San Francisco's stat charts. He now leads the team with 87 tackles.
