With Kaep it was score quick, let them score, then score quick again. With Alex it was run the ball, be efficient, gain the lead and keep the lead. Completely different philosophies.

The ol' KAep made the defense worse angel.
Another piece of malarkey made up to prop up Alex Smith. The defens struggled when All Pro Justin Smith got injured and Aldon Smith had a shoulder injury. Also, three of our backup OLBs were on IR so there was only a three man rotation on the OLB.
Alex Smith ball control means three and outs, sacks and a few long boring ass drives that end up in field goals most of the time and are aided by big runs.
