Tuesday morning Trent Baalke was on SiriusXM NFL Radio and he spoke a lot on the new acquisitions that the 49ers brought in. 

“There’s a lot of weapons for Colin’s disposal and now we just got to put all the pieces together,” Baalke said.

The 49ers lost Michael Crabtree to the Raiders in the offseason, but they thoroughly upgraded by signing former Ravens' WR Torrey smith

“The one thing that really shows up is the way the field’s opened up more with the speed or Torrey being able to stretch the outside,” Baalke said. “And it really helps Vernon’s game because now Vernon’s game is (to) stretch the field a little bit, as well."

The acquisition of Reggie Bush was huge for the 49ers, as now Kaepernick has another speed back to play with. Bush is good in space and running screens with Bush can help get rhythm for Kaepernick going each game.

“Reggie has really been an asset to Colin and has opened up some things,” Baalke said. “When you get the speed going down the field and you give a back like Reggie room to work in the third-down packages and stuff like that, it really is a bonus for the quarterback."
