Focus on 5 or 6 core concepts.
Run those core concepts in a million different ways.
If you understand the concept it doesn't matter how you run it, you know what you're supposed to do with it every single time.

if i write
I. 1. One.
it looks different to someone else each time but to me it's still simply 1.

Exactly....here is the drive concept packaged 8 different ways.

100% Agree. You hear similar things said about some of the best QBs and offenses in the league. Not overly complex, but you master core concepts that can be executed repeatedly with precision.

I've brought up the Colts example many times. They ran a fairly simplistic offense with a lot of audibles from Manning but they didn't do a lot that was exotic, nor did they have an especially complex playbook but they executed with precision. Not saying that Kaepernick is Manning obviously but there was a comment from Tom Moore, the former Colts OC who joined the Cardinals that he made in response to being asked why the Colts offense was able to be successful for so many years despite using a comparably limited play selection and Moore's response was "let's say we are racing to the airport, you KNOW where the airport is and the fastest way to get there, I THINK I know where the airport is, which one of us likely gets there faster?"


You can get away with simplicity in your playcalling if your execution is crisp and consistent. The defense is always at a disadvantage because they can only take an educated guess as to where the ball is going, the offensive player should be able to beat the defender to their spot pretty much every time unless the defense somehow hits upon the exact perfect look to counter the offensive playcall.

Exactly. The Colts and Manning immediately came to mind when you think of this approach. Not expecting any miracles this year, but it's yet another adjustment by this coaching staff that makes a ton of sense.

Here is an example of the 1994 niners pass install. These are kinda seen as their core plays and the accompanying personnel groupings.

Thank you Mr. Logan.

What Jim Tomsula told Colin Kaepernick before the final touchdown drive
By Kevin Lynch on September 15, 2015 4:46 AM


The sidelines were really buzzing in this game. Unlike the previous era, coaches were communicating with players constantly throughout the game, particularly at quarterback. During the last few seasons, quarterback Colin Kaepernick didn't seem to do much on the sidelines. After an offensive series, Kaepernick would slip off his helmet, don a 49ers cap, and stand stoic and alone.Not in this game. After each series, Kaepernick huddled with quarterbacks coach Steve Logan and fellow quarterbacks Blaine Gabbert and Dylan Thompson. They looked at still photographs and Logan and Kaepernick would talk extensively.Kaepernick would then go over to his offensive line or tight ends for a few words. He called the offense together right before the team's game-sealing touchdown drive for some encouragement.It seemed there was constant communication between coaches and players during the sidelines. Meanwhile, head coach Jim Tomsula was talking to everyone, encouraging, congratulating. Tomsula also talked to Kaepernick before the last touchdown drive."This game is fun," Tomsula said. "That's what I told him."After the game, when told of Tomsula's quote, Keapernick broke into his trademark smile."He tells that me all the time," he said.Apparently, Tomsula knows what to say to his quarterback.Kaepernick missed some throws, but overall, he outplayed his counterpart Teddy Bridgewater and made key plays at key moments to lift his team to a win. And that for any quarterback, is fun.

lol how many people are going to throw in "he missed some throws" while he completed 65% of his passes last night lol.

Another GREAT hire by Lloyd Christmas N Harry Dunne. Really a Radio jockey??? This guy is another reason why our beloved QB looks even more lost than he did last season.

Here's an article about Logan's approach to the passing game. It's from the AFCA.

I actually quite like Logan. I just think Kap and the Oline sucks. I hope he is still here next year when we get a new QB.

Nice find 816. I like what he said about his 5 step drops.
"We will generally release receivers with this package and read the whole field. This will be a hot throw for the QB versus the blitz."

We saw some of this against ATL's blitz where the 49ers tried to, and did on at least one occasion, beat the blitz with 5 routes, not additional protection (4 routes). QB has to know his hot and go there, then hope for RAC.

Well you didn't say why you wanted him back. What has he shown that makes you say such a statement ?
