San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick likes what he sees so far out of the 49ers new offensive approach. Kaepernick has been impressed with new offensive coordinator Geep Chryst's schemes.

“We’ve cleaned a lot of things up, and made it more comfortable and friendly for players to be able to go out and make plays,” Kaepernick said, via the San Jose Mercury News.

Kaepernick knows he needs to make improvements from last season, but does not feel like there is any added pressure on him or the offense because of all the losses on defense.

“I do feel like I need to do more, but not because of that,” Kaepernick said. “Offensively, last year for us, we feel it was a letdown. We we should be able to do more and we plan to do more this year. We’re working toward that.

“As far as our defense, they’re confident with who they have and who’s playing. They’re confident in their abilities to make plays over there.”

Head coach Jim Tomsula has been impressed with Kaepernick since the first day he took over as head coach and not much has changed since OTAs and minicamp have begun.

“Just for the record, where Colin is at right now, who he is and what he’s doing, I’m his No. 1 fan,” Tomsula said.
