I laughed, worriedly, last week when I read quotes from players, and Capers, that said facing Joe Webb last week was good preparation for this Niners offense.
That's like comparing a 1978 Pinto to a 2013 Ferrari. Were they serious?
Now, we don't know exactly what Capers & company worked on this week in their prep and practice. We don't know what they showed the players, worked on.
But what we do know is that it not only didn't work well, but it made Kaepernick look like the greatest all-around QB who ever lived. Never before in any game, playoffs or regular season, has a QB run for as many yards as he did with 181 yards.
You know, it almost looked like the defense prepared for a slow pocket passer like an old Dan Marino or a gimpy Peyton Manning.
We saw Walden follow the fake to Frank Gore, and Kaepernick ran right behind him for 56 yards, Walden with his back to him. He was benched then.
I saw Woodson out of position so many times, leaning the wrong way.
I saw a few blitzes called brilliantly where, Hayward for instance, he came in unaccounted for, untouched, and he not only missed Kaepernick, he let him run right past him and get 20 yards. Anyone else recall that one blatant fail?
Think about this: We are afraid to let Rodgers run because he takes big hits often.
Kaepernick ran for that many yards, and he never even took a big hit. We barely hit him. That's pathetic.
But then, we were pathetic in our 2009 playoff loss too, making Kurt Warner a record-setting passer that day beating us I think 51-45.
So who do you blame more for last night's embarrassment in Candlestick, against the running QB?
Capers game plan/strategy
The so-called "Players" execution/performance (lack of)
