Kron 4s sports director gary radnich spoke with hall of Famer Steve Young about the similarities between Colin Kaepernick and carolinas cam newton. Bamut take a look and then go. When he goes and has grown to go like he did last week he devastates teams. The teams he struggled against dark teams like carolina and seattle. He takes a look and when he doesnt see if he goes down. Its a defensive front that to differ from a lot of teams in the late so thats the challenge and thats what seems like this are particularly difficult because of the nature of them. give us your thumb nail sketch of cam new 10. hes got a lot better. He last year. He struggled trying to manage and i think the Carolina Panthers saw what the 49ers did. And they said look we are going to restate to we are. Were not going to put the spotlight on camp new to many more. Every time we walk into the state is not all about him. They have a ferocious defense especially the front seven and a great running game and cam were going to stop them back a little bit and we are going to be more careful and we are going to save some of the heroic things towards the end of the game. Thats exactly what the 49ers have done historically it since the jim harbaugh era. It looking at another team very similar to 49ers in strategy and how they approach the game and how they have a young could dynamic quarterback. He strides because of that three and a row question for me is when they get into these big games the alecia and take more risks and he was talking i figured he would be talking about kapernick. Because thats exactly what we are facing. Two similar teams. You can see the rest of garys interview with steve young tomorrow night on sports night live right here on kron 4 at 9.
