Certified Faithful: 49ers vs. Giants

 

[ChrisPozz]

Roman on the Giants defense: “They’ve got an endless supply of scheme.”

Fangio on Justin Smith and the 49ers pass rush: “There’s nothing wrong.”

 

[ChrisPozz]

Roman says Alex Smith and the 49ers offense are “getting that synergy going.”

Mentally, physically and then understanding the offense to where he’s running it on the field and he’s comfortable and things are just clicking for him quickly. He knows where people are going to be, he knows where to get people, that kind of thing.

San Francisco 49ers – Niner Insider Blog – SFGate.com 49ers’ success cramps Harbaugh’s style

Such wild success can breed comfort, which is like nails on a chalkboard for Harbaugh. He is a coach, after all, who doesn’t abandon his trademark black fleece sweatshirt in 90-degree weather so he can, well, make himself miserable. As safety Donte Whitner noted last year, “He always tells us he wants things to suck more than they possibly can.”

Ha.

Week 6 hashmarks: Top 10 things to know about 49ers-Giants | 49ers Hot Read

5. The 49ers are averaging 6.9 yards on first-down plays, second in the NFL behind the Carolina Panthers (7.2). They’ve gained at least four yards on 93 of 155 first-down plays.

Huge. Since 3rd downs on both sides of the ball are two of the most important things to me in football, that's really big.

8. Opponents have only scored three points off the 49ers’ five turnovers, that being a Detroit Lions field goal following Kendall Hunter’s fumbled kickoff return in Week 2.

Also very, very big.

San Francisco 49ers backup QB Colin Kaepernick is making a case for a starting job - NFL News | FOX Sports on MSN

“The biggest thing was just getting comfortable with this offense,” said Kaepernick, who appeared briefly in three games as a rookie. “There’s so much terminology. We have so many shifts and motions and different plays. To really be comfortable, you need some time in it. Especially with the lockout last year, to go into the preseason and jump right into the (regular) season, there really wasn’t too much time for rookies to get comfortable. There was a learning curve.”

The 49ers' offensive coordinator, Greg Roman, told FOXSports.com that Kaepernick’s growth isn’t just evident on the field but also the quarterback meeting room.

“He’s a lot more interactive,” Roman said. “That’s a great sign. He asks great questions, finds mistakes. That’s what you want guys to do.”

Hakeem Nicks practiced with team, IS traveling to SF. Fingers crossed.

Kimberly Jones:

Sounds like HakeemNicks plays v SF unless setback. Eli's had 5 different leading receivers in 5 games. None better than Nicks' 199 yds v TB.

Jim Harbaugh: “Kevin Gilbride’s outrageous, irrational statement regarding Justin Smith’s play is, first, an absurd analogy."
