Kaepernicking

Well here is the man who most of you are waiting for 2nd year pro Colin Kaepernick.

Now here's my humblest and honest opinion and if you don't like it well... COMMENT hehe.

As someone who has played football and coached football for a long time, I have always said it's not the player, but the system they have been bred in. That is why for the longest time I have been a big (but always complaining) supporter of Alex Smith. He's by all means not a great qb but he wasn't a terrible one like many claim. I always said all he needs is the right Coach and the right system, and he eventually bloomed into a much better player and was on the winning side of tight games (opposed to most of his career where games were lost under 7-10 pts especially in singletary era). That is why I will be the first to admit, i was not a big fan of Kaeps start mid season. Although I will agree that he is much more athletic, I just felt it was very premature to put someone who essentially was a rookie in that position. But I am still a niner fan, and I am glad that this kid has grown so much.
  I was more impressed with his win in ATL than Greenbay. Why you ask? Because he proved to all the nay sayers about the fact that he can't step in the pocket and make the throws he needs to make, that he is just a running qb. And I am glad to see that he was able to make plays like a true qb should, and go on the run only when necessary. He is only going to get better from here on out and as a niner fan, that is very exciting to see.
Keys to victory Sunday for Kaep:
I believe that the Ravens will definitely disguise coverages and play zone to confuse this young man (Much like the falcons gameplan against the niners). Not only does he have to be able to step into the pocket, but he would have to make wiser decisions and be a little bit more accurate underneath. It's ok to become a manager against a good team like the ravens because the game can come down to either one big play, or one mistake. I hope the young qb can be as calm and collected in the pocket as he was in the NFC Championship. Roman and Harbaugh will make the right calls, it's just Kaep has to be smart with the calls that are made. Football isn't just about who the better athlete is, it's literally a human chess match. And I can't wait to see what this man does.

The next offensive playmaker.... Alex Smith's favorite target VERNON DAVIS. Its definitely nice to have a big strong tight end that can block (albeit he sometimes misses blocks, but he does make key blocks), and be a deep threat. But he has also been a pretty good check down receiver for Kaep the past few games. Just another playmaker that can help the niners to a 6th superbowl win.

Crabs

Colin Kaepernicks favorite target . Michael Crabtree. His YAC has definitely gone up after the QB change.

My Doppleganger

If you love the yards that Frank Gore and all the yards he produces, it's because of the five big men who fight in the "trenches" every down. For someone who has played the position, these guys have the most important job on the field but never get any love. The only time they ever get noticed is when they make a mistake. The person I choose to represent the offensive line and is impressive at it (besides left tackle Joe Staley) is Mike Iupati.

Fun fact about me: For obvious reasons this man is my doppleganger (refer to photo), he also plays the same position I played in hs, Offensive Guard. He however plays left, I played right. His number is 77 mine was 76.

Uncanny isn't it? haha

GORE!!!

Now heres a niner who is definitely worthy of this Quest for Six Sketches. Still running strong and is the Niners all time rushing yards and touchdown leader.

#TEAMSMITH

Ok Ok, the last Smith brother on the roster. I had a lot of fun with this one. The hash tag team smith makes me chuckle haha.

Now say what you want about this guy, whether you like him or glad that he's not on the field anymore you have to give credit where credit is do. 8 years on the niners and he always had to fight for a starting position. Doesn't mean he's a great QB but it does mean he is capable of doing the job. And he has done it the past year and because everyone who watches sports have a short memory... the 6-2 start is all thanks to the game managing of this man. And as someone who has been a professional through this whole process you still see him on the sideline with Kaep looking over photos of the defensive coverages and helping the young QB bloom.
This sunday will most likely be the last time Alex Smith will be in a niner jersey (and probably SF hat haha). So I would like to say, thank you sir.

SACKED!

Hey All, 

here is the Sack Leader  for the 49ers and Justins Smith's brotha. Aldon Smith

The Cowboy

Hello Football Fans and Most of all NINER FANS!

I know this way more than a week early but I was on a roll today on the BART. But here is the Niner I consider the most overlooked in the eyes of many fans. If you love the sack leader of the Niners (Aldon Smith) then you have to thank his brother. JUSTIN SMITH! If you think that all the tackles from the two inside linebackers are incredible, They thank this man for his help on the inside.

Coaching for linemen and primarily D-line for 10 years, let me drop some football knowledge.... it is this man who takes on the double team inside that frees Aldon smith on the outside. Aldon Smith can play the outside contain not letting anyone get to the outside of him) because he knows his brother has the inside gaps. It is this man, who wreaks havoc on the gaurd and center occupying them so that our inside linebackers to step up and make a tackle.

This is why I pick Justin Smith as my first Niner sketch till the superbowl. Stay tuned for more as we countdown to our QUEST FOR SIX!

First!!!

I've always wanted to start a sketch blog of an art project a week, so what better way to start off a new sketchblog a week, but in a new year (yes i know i shouldve started this a week ago :p ) But here's the first post, and it's sketch of my favorite X-Man.
