SANTA CLARA

Here’s what Jim Tomsula said about Blaine Gabbert Monday morning.

Q: Blaine Gabbert has 16 third-down completions, but only six have gone for first downs. Is that OK? Would you like to see a more aggressive approach?

TOMSULA: “Absolutely not OK. We need to get first downs on third down. So, we’ve got to do a better job there.”

Q: You’d like to see him throw beyond the sticks more?

TOMSULA: “Yeah, we need to throw beyond the sticks, we need to protect…we need to do a better job there.”
