Vernon Davis, TE, San Francisco 49ersNews | Statistics | Utilization | Depth Chart 49ers | Martz thinks Davis should have limited role Kevin Lynch, of the San Francisco Chronicle, reports former San Francisco 49ers offensive coordinator Mike Martz said during an interview with NFL Network that he believes TE Vernon Davis is the best in-line blocking tight end in the NFL and he is probably the second best pass protector on the team next to OT Joe Staley. Because of that, Martz said he would limit Davis's catches to 30 per season. 49ers | Davis could have bigger role this season Matthew Barrows, of the Sacramento Bee, reports San Francisco 49ers TE Vernon Davis likely will see his reception number increase this season because he is being targeted a lot during practice and is showing improved hands than in recent years. 49ers | Want to take advantage of Davis' speed Matt Maiocco, of The Santa Rosa Press Democrat, reports San Francisco 49ers offensive coordinator Jimmy Raye said he wants to utilize TE Vernon Davis' vertical speed to create problems for defenses. He wants his contributions in the passing game to come as a receiver - not a blocker. "He's also an excellent in-line blocker," Raye said, "but we would like to use him not as much in blocking in pass situations as we would running routes. So we would like to put him in positions where he is a matchup problem for the defense ... provided the protection that we have will allow us to do that." 49ers | V. Davis maturing? Mike Sando, of ESPN.com, reports San Francisco 49ers TE Vernon Davis, who previously was too hot-headed for the 49ers to trust in critical situations, seems to be turning the other cheek this year. In times during practice where he may have engaged in a shoving match, a cooler Davis is walking away. He also seems to be catching the ball more consistently this summer. The 49ers intend to use him more as a receiver this year, but it is too early to tell how much the team will need him in pass protection. 49ers | Davis told he will be more involved in offense Kevin Lynch, of the San Francisco Chronicle, reports San Francisco 49ers TE Vernon Davis said offensive coordinator Jimmy Raye told him he will be a major factor in the team's offense this season. "He told me the tight end is the focal point. I'm looking forward it. He said he wants to get his playmakers involved," Davis said. 49ers | Davis given practice off Thursday John Crumpacker, of the San Francisco Chronicle, reports San Francisco 49ers TE Vernon Davis was given off for the team's practice Thursday, May 21. 49ers | Singletary praises Davis' blocking in Week 14 Adam Schefter, of the NFL Network, reports San Francisco 49ers head coach Mike Singletary said he was very impressed with the blocking of TE Vernon Davis in Week 14. "Talk about a blocking tight end. I don't know if there's ever been a tight end that can block better than Vernon Davis. I mean, he did an exceptional job. It was outstanding," Singletary said. 49ers | Team grooming V. Davis as lead blocker The San Francisco Chronicle reports the San Francisco 49ers are likely grooming TE Vernon Davis as a lead blocker, despite the recent addition of TE Sean P. Ryan. 49ers | V. Davis to remain starter? Matt Maiocco, of the Santa Rosa Press Democrat, reports San Francisco 49ers head coach Mike Singletary ordered TE Vernon Davis off the field Week 8 after he was called for unnecessary roughness. When asked if Davis would be the team's starting tight end in two weeks, Singletary said, "We got to think about that." 49ers | Davis ordered off the field The Associated Press reports San Francisco 49ers head coach Mike Singletary ordered TE Vernon Davis off the field during the team's Week 8 game after Davis was called for a foolish penalty.
