Blaine Gabbert named 49ers starter for Week 11 vs. Seahawks
“We can build on this”, nose guard and defensive leader Ian Williams said. From holdouts to vehicle crashes to starting 0-2, Seattle rebounded from all those obstacles to get back to.
The only win was a 10-7 affair over the Tennessee Titans and their backup quarterback, Zach Mettenberger. Seattle is tied for second in the National Football League by holding opponents to only 17.5 points per game, but the issue has been the offense. Men of no special portfolio were making big plays. Gurley has rushed for at least 100 yards in four of the past five games, but St. Louis still needs other parts of its offense to show up, as evidenced by its loss to Minnesota when Gurley was held to 89 yards. The no-huddle also worked and produced their only touchdown against the 49ers right before the half. What do you see happening with Kaepernick after this season?Chryst is among those who have been quick to point out that Kaepernick’s supporting cast is not the same as it was when the Niners went to the Super Bowl three seasons ago. Besides, we understand. He’s just a Rookie!
According to Roddy White, one way to improve is to pass him the ball. He has 17 catches on the season.
“Blaine did a nice job, did a few really good things with his feet and his arm and his brain”, Tomsula said via ESPN.
“I said last week that the decision was made for Blaine to go into the Atlanta game”, he said. “As a coach, you want nothing but the best for all your players”.
“We’ve been on film for the last several weeks now”.
Ryan, ever the diplomat, said he was fine with the decision to kick a field goal late in the game from the 1-yard line.
“I don’t think the identity of our ballclub has been identified yet”, veteran receiver Larry Fitzgerald said. “He made the decision”. I felt confident that our defense was going to get the stop. So that’s where we’re going. As Atlanta prepared for the 49ers last week, the team listed 11 players on the final injury report, the most all season.
The 49ers did not shop Kaepernick before the trade deadline, but sources added that they were open to dealing any player on their roster, including their star quarterback. “We’re going to talk about it here before anywhere else”.
Quinn hasn’t strayed from that approach and as his players step away from the football field for the week, they were asked to reflect on their individual performances thus far. “We didn’t find a way to get into the end zone”. What I thought about the team prior to the game is what I think about the team now: they really aren’t that good. We’re working on what we’re working on right now. That’s always the mindset that I have.
It was nice to get that win, but I wasn’t falling out of my seat.
The Falcons are hoping the bye week brings answers.
