"They're a tough running game to defend," said San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator Vic Fangio.

The Redskins will say they're not giving up on Robert Griffin III, that he can be developed, that he can still become the quarterback they hoped he would be -- and expected him to be -- when they gave up four draft picks for him in 2012.

Kaepernick’s arm has yet to bother Seahawks - SFGate
"He can even separate from players in the secondary," Thomas wrote on his blog. "… He has such long strides, it causes you to misjudge his speed. It doesn’t look like he’s running that fast.

Unfortunately for the 49ers, Kaepernick’s right arm hasn’t inspired similar praise in his four career starts against the Seahawks.
The teams have combined for 47 regular-season and eight postseason victories the past two seasons, more than any other division rivals.
