You can't really blame White for wanting to contain the reverse lateral 30 yards down the field. It's an important mistake defenses seem to make a lot. On serious note, i'd really like to know if I should be mad at white more than the safety.

I could be wrong here, but I felt that White played it right. He went with the midrange receiver who was cutting over the middle. There was a much greater chance that Kapernick was going to throw to him if he were open. He knew he had safety help.

What was Vaccaro doing? He was in the middle of the field not near anyone with Crabtree running by himself 25 yards away. If he had even gone in his direction he would have intercepted or batted down the ball.

You can blame White, but I think that Vaccarro got lost.
