Interesting note from James Campen. The two snaps Josh Sitton missed cuz of a shoe snafu were the only offensive snaps he's missed this year

Capers defended adjustments that #Packers did make. Said GB rushed 4, then spied, then started pressuring. Nothing worked vs. Kaepernick.

Also noted on JSO that they went to Cover 2 first and 49ers ran Davis past Hawk or big TE completion. But faulted safety for not getting over the top fast enough, not Hawk.

When switched to Cover 3 to put more eyes on CK, 49ers hit a 7 route (route to outside) for 17 yard gain and first down.

Sounds like Packers were reactive to CK's scrambling and read-option success and 49ers had a play for each adjustment.


Jason Wilde @jasonjwilde
Dom Capers said after being burned by Kaepernick's scrambles, he switched to zone coverage and the 49ers burned the #Packers with the pass.

That has been a problem for a while.

Dom Capers said Kaepernick's scrambling, not the read-option is what killed the #Packers in the playoff loss. http://t.co/M3u2rArT

Tyler Dunne @TyDunne
Joe Whitt had high praise for #Packers Sam Shields. Said year similar to Williams' in 2010 and called him the team's best tackling CB.

#Packers special teams coach Shawn Slocum said he believes in PR Jeremy Ross and thinks "he has the potential to be a very good player."

#Packers CBs coach Joe Whitt essentially says Tramon Williams (@HighRizer38) not guaranteed starting spot in 2013:

Best news I've heard so far. They guy shies away from contact. Either he's decided he doesn't want to pay the price to make a play, or his injury from 2011 is a permanent issue. If it's the former, perhaps some competition will change his attitude.

Harris was good, but Green not done:

Wes Hodkiewicz @WesHod
AVP on Green: "His knee wasn’t completely healed so him battling I’m sure had something to do w/ it breaking down toward end of the season"

Wes Hodkiewicz @WesHod
#Packers RB coach Van Pelt on if Alex Green's quick return from ACL contributed to him wearing down late: "It probably did. I’m sure it did"

Jason Wilde @jasonjwilde
#Packers bigger problem, per Capers. RT @ChrisBurke_SI MT @VicTafur: Nolan more worried about Kaepernick’s scrambling than read-option.

Just read this article. covers what Capers called in the booth and what he then saw happen and confirm on film. Love that the Packers let these guys talk.

#Packers TEs coach Jerry Fontenot has high hopes of practice squad TE @Bostick11

Tyler Dunne @TyDunne
On that play, Capers said #Packers were "zoning it off and our zoner didn't get off in time." RT @TommykGB Was Crabtree td a breakdown?

Jason Wilde @jasonjwilde
#Packers defensive line coach Mike Trgovac said part of the problem was that they have one guy who can be an effective spy: Clay Matthews.

I wonder if the right way of dealing with that could be found in the approaches against Vick in the 2010 Wildcard game and Roethlis Burger in the SB, where lane integrity was the priority, not sacking the QB.
