I didn't get a chance to see Kaepernick's series, but the stats were looking like he's showing signs of a successful dink-and-dunk passing game, which I think is awesome, and the only piece of the puzzle I really saw was missing from the offense after we lost Alex.
If that's the case, top-tier defenses like the Seahawks I think are going to be forced to play way more honestly if they're going to stop plays from the 49ers' offense. :)
Reid was looking solid out there, I was impressed, ditto for Lemonier. McDonald is not looking too bad, but A.J. Jenkins I think is going to need to do something, and he needs to do it FAST, or else I don't see him being on the 49ers' roster for much longer.
Just think Kap did what he did without Gore or Hunter in and of course no Crabtree.
Right, because THIS is the offense we are going to be running in the regular season? Dink and dunk all the way, right? Did you miss it? (all the dinking and dunking)? Harbs and Kaep were out there messing around. Just taking a stroll. A relaxing day at the park. This offense was idling in first gear and drove right through the starting Denver D. The rest of the league better be scared when Gore gets in the lineup. This is no dink and dunk offense. This is the most prolific offense in the league. If you miss three and outs maybe you should get the NFL ticket and watch some KC games.
Alex is sooooooo efficient. Oh, look! he checked it down again for two yards! We are punting, but his completion percentage is 70%
AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
What I'm saying is our first team offense so far is looking a LOT more diversified on top of what we had last year. We all know Alex couldn't bomb it to save his life, and Kaepernick is now trusting the short pass game, something Maiocco said was an issue last year between guys like CK and VD.
Kaepernick adapting to change with Crabtree out and being successful in it is going to be HUGE this season, which is why I'm happy to see this, even if it was only for one series. A polished, complex offense is going to cause fits for opposing defenses, because now they have to account for the entire team being playmakers, and not just selling out against one, two, or three guys.
I'm excited to see what happens when all our starting WRs get back in the mix.
