One good thing to say about Kaepernick (and believe me, I hate saying anything good about that arrogant cocky puss), but the boy can run. Not just when receivers aren't open, but Harbaugh designs plays just for his running.
Russell is great at running too, and not just when he's running for his life 20 yards behind the line of scrimmage. But he never seems to run anymore unless he's in trouble. What happened to the Read-Option, when he would frequently keep the ball? Why don't we have plays designed for him to run?
I get it that Beast Mode is our bread and butter. But we hear that rushing sets up the pass, passing sets up the run. I think it applies equally well to Russell running: Lynch's running attempts sets up favorable conditions for a Wilson attempt, and Wilson's running helps set up Lynch.
So am I thinking wrong or what? I miss those runs.
