David Newton on Bay Area radio station this morning, 95.7FM

Summary is basically what we all think and know here:

 

Steve Smith should play

How Cam played when Smith wasn't in last weeks game

 

 

I damn near cheered when he mentioned how people keep saying the Niners played bad against the Panthers, when the Panthers simply played great defense like they did against all the other teams.

 

Zero respect given by fans here in the Bay Area. Some of the more professional media at least says don't look past this game, but still all believe Niners win it.

What will there excuses be come Monday you think?

[Cary Kollins]

Newton is a revelation after Patty Y.

[davos]

What will there excuses be come Monday you think?

 

Instead of "Crabtree was out" I imagine we'll get some new bullsh*t they come up with.  

[PantherWake]

I can't wait to hear all the excuses on Monday 

[TheRumGone]

their O is suspect just like ours.

 

i don't know how people don't see this.

 

the key to who wins this game is which dominant defense makes the crucial play.

Because they beat a 3-4 packers defense that has no true pass rushers. Kap needs room to operate, we may give up a chunk play or two but it won't continuously happen. The Packers were unable to cover and rush, we will be able to do both.

exactly. we have the talent to contain him. doesn't mean its going to happen. but in theory it will.

 

not having matthews in that game fuged GB. and the 9ers offense still had trouble scoring throughout the game. some of the blame can be put on the cold.

 

if kuechly and davis have big time games. we will win.

had a packers CB done his job properly and kept containment on that last big 3rd down scramble by Kap, there would have been OT in Green Bay, where we may be talking now about how we beat Rodgers this week instead. 

 

I by no means call the 9ers "lucky", because they very well could have ended up winning in OT, but Green Bay made it much easier for them then it should have been.

 

Not sure how many people know this or not, but I'll let the media in on a lil secret: Carolina > Green Bay

Matthews is invaluable to that team. I saw some runs Kap had where the Linebackers were unable to take the edge. Fact of the matter is that Kap slides when he sees Matthews and that would've cut down on his rushing.

they had slow ass a.j. hawk tracking him down. the key here is containing kaepernick and making him go through his reads to beat you with his arm.

 

our line is too dominant and sets the edge insanely well. but what puts us over the top is davis and keek. they are too fast and too football sound for kaepernick to run around our DE's and then have to beat them. kaepernick is going to have another rough day if we play to our ability.

 

i don't expect sub 100 yard passing game and 14 yards rushing. but we will contain that gazelle.

Rush the DE up the field with the idea of getting back up the field. Basically, run around to force Kap up, square of the linemen and run back towards the line of scrimmage, allow the DTs to beat their men and let the DE's keep him in the pocket by setting up the tackles.
