After a one-week hiatus due to technical malfunctions we are back this week with our third set of videos in which we change up our format a bit, going from discussing a couple of topics for a few minutes to discussing more topics but spending less time on each. This week we talk about:
Colin Kaepernick.
The offensive (get it?) line.
Coaching.
Trent Baalke.
Jed York.
And as always at the end of that video there is our prediction for this week's game in New York against the Giants on Sunday Night Football.
On their first attempt to pick against the spread last time out AJ ended with a 12-3 record while Diego's risk-taking approach netted him a 10-5 record. They're back at it with all of their picks for week five.
As always we look forward to your feedback whether it is a comment to this post or on our youtube page. We also invite you to:
Thanks guys, I wouldn't let myself believe this was a train wreck waiting to happen. After last season I knew Kap could never be a pocket passer or scan the field. I believed 6 weeks could transform him. I knew he showed no instincts that good or average qb's possess. We need football men at the top. I still believe Dr. York makes all the financial decisions, and his motto has always been cheap is best.
Liked It. Keep summarizing the video into bullet points in print, hooked me. Wanted to comment brifly on OL. Poor play is the cause of Baalke mistakes and bad decision by JT. Two years ago, Boone was holding out for a new contract. Iupati was going to be free agent before him and Boone was hearing MU was going to be making huge money in FA. Boone wanted to hit the bank before MU, he didn't like that MU was making considerly more while MU was still on his rookie contract. Baalke knew he was not going to pay MU the market value, he never does. He extends a player contract like Staley and Davis or the player walks. My point is this, we had leverage on Boone when he wanted to renogtiate his contract. We knew if we didn't extend Boone we are losing two OG's after this year. Two years ago we should have used our leverage to sign Boone long term for dollars signaficantly less than Iupati got this year. Instead we gave him a raise and also guaranteed we wouldn't franchise Boone after this year. Why is this important? Boone is the second best tackle on this team. He should be playing RT, but he won't because RT makes more $ than an OG. Niners don't want Boone making RT money = OL is Crap.

Jimmie Ward's first interceptions in five years set tone for 49ers in big win
By Kirk Larrabee

Monday night's 31-10 win for the San Francisco 49ers over the Los Angeles Rams was a good example of what's referred to as "complementary football", meaning that players in each phase of the game make plays that help set up the other players to more effectively do their job.
The offense played a significant part in helping the 49ers reach that status Monday night, holding onto the ball for almost 40 minutes of game time while converting 8-of-14 on third downs with zero turnovers. But it was the defense that set the tone for the offense early, thanks in large part to two interceptions from safety Jimmie Ward.
The first interception came on the first possession of the game for the Rams when quarterback Matthew Stafford launched a deep pass intended for wide
49ers set tone of dominance with long opening drive against Jaguars, even if it didn't end the way they wanted

As was the case against the Los Angeles Rams last week, the San Francisco 49ers sent a loud, and clear message right off the bat in their 30-10 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday with a long opening drive that quickly established their dominance and set the tone for what would take place the rest of the game—even if what happened at the end of the drive felt somewhat disappointing.
Whereas last week's opening drive in the 49ers' 31-10 win over the Rams came off a turnover and ended in a touchdown after lasting 18 plays, 93 yards, and eleven minutes and three seconds, this week's opening drive came after the opening kickoff and took up thirteen minutes and five seconds while spanning 20 plays and 87 yards before the 49ers took a 3-0 lead on a 20-yard Robbie
