Filed under: 49ers , NFC West , Fantasy Football , NFL Real Talk Is calling Vernon Davis a real life and fantasy football bust for the last two years a stretch? Most certainly not. His seven touchdowns over two years are decent at best in 24 games, particularly when you consider that he was a first round pick. And 774 yards in that span = meh. But this year, oh yes, this year, Vernon has big expectations...

Vernon Davis considers himself an artist. The muscular 49ers tight end has gone from drawing Donald Duck and Winnie the Pooh on his mom's walls as a tyke to selling an acrylic canvas of Bill Walsh during a player's auction at last year's Super Bowl. "It's a...

Vernon Davis has opened his mouth up and I don’t think it was a good idea. After practice with the Raiders, the TE started to feel confident on the upcoming season. That’s great! But he felt so confident, that he said it out loud. “If they try to stick a safety or a linebacker on me, [...]

Third-year tight end Vernon Davis is no stranger to training-camp fights, and he nearly got into another one Sunday morning. He came to the aid of fellow tight end Delanie Walker after Walker caught a pass and - in a non-contact drill - was shoved to the...

Filed under: 49ers Two developments from 49ers camp, neither of which are particularly shocking. First, according to the Sacramento Bee 's Matt Barrows, Shaun Hill got the first-team reps during the morning session, and while he and Alex Smith both looked sharp, "overall, Hill seems to be more content with quick, short passes while ... Smith tends to hold the ball longer and throw more downfield."...

Mike Martz has never been one to highlight tight ends in his offense. After some Pro Football Weekly-published remarks from the new Niners offensive coordinator about his potential use of tight end Vernon Davis in split-wide situations, I thought I would check Martz’s track record with tight ends. Using profootballreference.com and footballoutsiders.com, I noted the following [...]

SANTA CLARA When Vernon Davis watches film of Mike Martz's past offenses, he doesn't follow the tight end. He is told instead to watch receivers Isaac Bruce or Torry Holt streaking downfield.

Filed under: 49ers , NFC West , San Francisco When word came down that the 49ers had re-signed tight end Delanie Walker to a three-year, $6 million deal, ripples were felt all across the NFL landscape. Mostly because everybody outside of San Francisco (and some inside) asked themselves, "Who the hell is Delanie Walker?" He's a guy Mike Martz has raved about thus far in the offseason, going so far...

And if, for some reason, you don't feel like reading 1,200 words about celebrity basketball, here's a video version. You can see me getting plowed by Vernon Davis. Here's the Comcast SportsyNet version, which focuses on Andray Blatche's embarrassment and might have slightly higher production values.
