The Associated Press reports San Francisco 49ers head coach Mike Nolan defended the use of TE Vernon Davis as a blocker, even though Davis has just five receptions in five games this season. "He has a responsibility to himself to run the correct routes," Nolan said. "You get the ball that way better, but by no stretch would I say he's a bust. Like I said, he is good at two out of the three (aspects of his job). He will continue to get better at the third part, but that's a matter of working at it." |

TE Vernon Davis has caught just two passes the past four games. He is seen as a better blocker than a pass catcher, despite being the No. 6 overall pick in the 2006 draft. Davis has experienced difficulty fitting into Mike Martz's offense. He has just five catches for 87 yards through five games.
Davis has been spending time after practices working with quarterback J.T. O'Sullivan on down-the-field pass routes. Davis is not known as an accomplished route-runner. |
