As pressure mounts on Kaepernick, 49ers' offense makes changes

SANTA CLARA –- After Colin Kaepernick experienced two of his worst games as an NFL starter in back-to-back weeks, 49ers’ offensive coordinator Geep Chryst recognizes his quarterback is under the microscope.

“It puts a lot of pressure on these games, right?” Chryst said on Thursday. “It puts a lot of pressure on a Sunday night game. Traditionally, Kap has played well in the spotlight.

“You’re playing this out in front of everybody. Literally, in front of everybody: The Niner fans, the coaches and your teammates. And people are going to weigh in on it.”

Chryst said the 49ers made some adjustments this week in hopes that it will lead to Kaepernick and the offense gaining more success Sunday night against the New York Giants.
