Gabbert provides 49ers’ offense new look against Seahawks By CHRIS BIDERMAN Associated Press SANTA CLARA, Ca- lif. — Having not won in Seattle’s CenturyLink Field since 2011, the San Francisco 49ers are hoping a change at quarterback can spark their struggling offense against the Seahawks. It will be Blaine Gabbert under center for San Fran- cisco (3-6) for the second straight game after he helped the 49ers beat the Falcons 1-16 in his ¿rst start since 2013 with Jacksonville. “He successfully ran the offense,” Seattle cornerback Richard Sherman said. “He got them down the ¿eld, he made some great decisions in terms of running and passing the football. Obviously, there were some mistakes in there as well. But to come off the bench and beat the Falcons, it was a great performance.” Gabbert ¿nished with 1 yards on 1 of 2 comple- tions with two touchdowns and two interceptions. He was effective with his legs, running for 32 yards on eight carries, including a designed -yard run Must outside of two minutes remaining for a ¿rst down that helped seal the win. This week, Gabbert’s test is drastically more dif¿cult in a stadium considered one of the toughest on visiting teams. “It’s going to be loud, we know that,” Gabbert said. “In these stadiums where it is extremely loud, you real- ly have to focus one play at a time because if you don’t hear a call, you don’t hear the play, one or two guys ar- en’t going to be on the same page and that’s the differ- ence between winning and losing games.” 'espite the 4- record, the Seahawks still boast the league’s second-ranked de- fense in both total yardage and passing yards. Since the win over Atlan- ta, Gabbert had a bye week to Ben Margot/AP Photo San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick (7) and quarterback Blaine Gabbert (2) warm up before an NFL football game against the Seattle Seahawks in Santa Clara, Calif., Oct. 22. become more acclimated to his new role as starter after the struggling Colin Kaeper- nick was benched. In Kaepernick’s last three starts against Seattle, the 49ers were outscored 6-13 while he failed to throw a touchdown pass, including in a Oct. 22 loss at Levi’s Stadi- um, 20-3. The previous time the 49ers beat the Seahawks on the road, their starting quar- terback was Alex Smith, who Kaepernick replaced midway through 2012 before leading his team to a Super Bowl ap- pearance. Kaepernick hasn’t played up to lofty expectations this season. Prior to his benching, the 49ers’ offense ranked last in both yardage and scoring by signi¿cant margins. Given the way the league operates, Sherman isn’t sur- prised he won’t be going against Kaepernick on Sun- day. “Football’s a crazy game,” Sherman said. “It’s who’s playing well at the time, at the end of the day. Who would have thought when they were playing well and Alex Smith was out there, that a year later Alex Smith would be gone from San Francisco and Colin Kaepernick would be their guy? Things like that happen in football and you Must got to roll with the punches.” 49ers coach Jim Tomsula would not commit to Gabbert as the starter beyond Sun- day’s game, leaving open the possibility of Kaepernick re- turning to the lineup. “I liked the way (Gabbert) handled the game. I liked the way he played the game, and I want to move forward with Blaine and we’ll go from there. That’s all I have for you going into this game,” Tomsula said.
