The San Francisco 49ers on Sunday offered up a heavy dose of read-option runs out of the pistol, paving the way for Colin Kaepernick's 68 yards on the ground in an easy win over the Tennessee Titans. Inventive offensive coordinator Greg Roman has de-emphasized the zone read this season, but receiver Anquan Boldin credited the uptick of those play calls Sunday for his five catch, 74-yard outing.

Kaep is a better pocket passer than he's been showing recently (ask the Packers), but it's undeniable that mixing the read option in really opens things up, and it's good to see it back. Getting ready for Crabtree's return, IMO.
Many teams with mobile qb's seemed to be playing them a little tight early in the season to play things safe but are now opening things up a bit as the season moves along. Makes sense
