The comments that have lead JW to bump Vernon Davis down in the rankings:

RE: What about Vernon Davis, Coach? Would you like to see him get a little bit more involved? "Well, he will. I think that the numbers for Vernon, in terms of receptions, may or may not be there this year. It may fluctuate during the season. But what we expect from Vernon are big plays. He's a very, very substantial blocker, which really allows us to a lot of good things in the running game. There's no question about that. But, when we get him the ball we'd like to get him the ball down the field or get him the ball in the shallow routes and let him take off with it, so to speak. Sometimes the defenses will dictate how much you get the ball to him. He's done a very good job out here in practice and we haven't done a whole lot with him in the preseason games but we certainly practice him a lot." RE: Is he the guy you might move out into the slot if the receiver injuries dictate it? "Sure. We've already done that in practice. We've moved him around a little bit. But it takes away from some of the other things that he does really well. The hard thing about Vernon is that he's a very talented guy. The more you do with him, then you have to be careful about not doing anything really well. And there's some things that he really does exceptionally well and we want to keep him grounded to that."
He says they'll use Vernon to block but they'll also send him on deep routes or short passes and allow him to utilize his speed.Basically, he's not saying anything we didn't know. And yet you still think he'll do a worse job than last season when the San Francisco 49'ers had THE WORST offense in the entire league?
I do...doesn't mean I'm right, but it's what I expect.
