[QUOTE="Marvin49, post: 510805, member: 7068"] Not really. I hate to burst the bubble... ...but hitting Kaep wasn't the problem in that game. He did throw one pick on a bad throw (and he wasn't even hurried on it), but that ensuing drive resulted in zero points. The issue that day was a defensive implosion, really good redzone D by the Ravens (who did that all postseason), the fumble by James and the KO return. I could get into stuff that wasn't called and so forth, but I'm not gonna play that game. My point is only that hitting Kaep wasn't the difference maker. With Suggs hitting him on every down he still managed 57% comp% (just a few points under his season average, 302 yards, a whopping 10.79 yards per ATTEMPT, and a 91 QB rating (which would be much higher if not for the unforced INT). It also opened up Gore to run for over 100 yards and a TD. To quote the guy hitting Kaep down after down (Terrell Suggs), "Man...I hate QBs. But that Colin Kaepernick? Man, That kid is special. He'll play in a few of these. I tip my hat to him". That doesn't sound like a guy who thinks he got into the QBs head. It's become popular to think the simple solution to Kaep his just go hit him, but he has more experience in the Pistol/Read-Option than any QB alive. He was in Nevada when Chris Ault invented the Pistol. He has more expereince with it than any coach outside of Chris Ault. None of this guarantees the Niners win the game. I think it will be a tough matchup. If you think tho that the answer is as simple as just going to hit the QB you are sorely mistaken. Even if that WERE the answer, the Niners very often run a FB to block at the mesh point so getting to the QB before he has to make a decision is far harder. The Read-Option is also only a subset of the offense. I wouldn't expect a healthy dose of it to begin with. [/QUOTE]
