Yes 1 reception for 2 ydsI see he's done nothing for stats. Is he even playing?
Agree. He's been well covered. Alex Smith IS looking to go to Vernon but has been going to his 2nd, 3rd options more often.It does look like the loss of Norv is affecting creativity of this offense.I've noticed that he's been Smith's 1st read a few times, but I guess Arizona has had pretty tight coverage on him & Smith had to check down.
Vernon starting to blow up, just caught a nice 3 yarder to go along with his 2 yarder. He's really showing that YAC ability as both of those catches would have only went for a yard each if it was any other TE.

Yes I was starting to think the same thing. Smith didn't look like he was comfortable at all while going through his progressions, worrying more about the pass rush then his receivers. Hopefully he gets some more time in the pocket next week.Alex Smith is horrible so Davis's numbers are going to be spotty throughout the year.
First, let me caveat that this is just a rumor. You can either choose to believe it or not. Oft times, when someone on this board weighs in with some inside information, its dismissed out of hand. That's fine. I can understand that. That said, my sources inside the 49ers organization say that a search for a replacment offensive coordinator is already well underway. Roughly a half dozen members of the San Francisco executive leadership team have fanned out across Northern California already. No bed and breakfast will be left off the list. If there is a suitable alternative, they will find him regardless of how many afternoon teas and nights in strange beds it takes.I dont think I saw him once lining up as a WR on the slot or outside. The 9ers OC i dont believe has any previous HC/OC experience and it might be showing here.
Vernon is a physical freak, but I think anyone hoping for this guy to develop likes Gates will be disappointed. He just doesn't seem to have very much natural receiving ability, even in Gates' rookie year, he just looked so fluid catching the ball.Add in the fact that his hands are meh, and to me it sure seems this guy was drafted way to high by the 49ers.Suprised to see him not line up in the slot more like Gates. Most of the time he was lined up on the line with his hand down.
