[QUOTE="Forget Favre, post: 511047, member: 2006"] If I were a 49ers fan (Thankfully I'm not and am rooting for the best team in all the NFL) I would be getting worried. As they should be. [url]http://www.packersnews.com/article/20130903/PKR07/309030357/Pete-Dougherty-analysis-Defense-plans-healthy-dose-hits-read-option-QBs[/url] Clay Matthews offered a preview of what many NFL defenses are planning this season for read-option quarterbacks such as the San Francisco 49ers’ Colin Kaepernick. During an appearance Monday on the “Mike and Mike” show on ESPN radio, the Green Bay Packers outside linebacker said that officials visiting training camp confirmed that a quarterback will not be protected by the NFL’s defenseless-player rules when he’s carrying out fakes in the read option. So Kaepernick, along with Carolina’s Cam Newton, Seattle’s Russell Wilson and Washington’s Robert Griffin III can expect to take plenty of hits even if they hand off or pitch the ball in the read option. “You do have to take your shots on the quarterback,” Matthews said as quoted by NFL.com, “and obviously they’re too important to their offense. If that means (coaches) pull them out of that type of offense and make them run a traditional, drop-back, pocket-style offense, I think that’s exactly what we’re going for. So you want to put hits as early and often on the quarterback and make them uncomfortable.” In March, coordinator Dom Capers and his assistants took their day trip to visit the coaching staff at Texas A&M, which runs the read option and could offer tips on what does and doesn’t cause problems for its offense. They spent the rest of the spring implementing their plans. [/QUOTE]
