Alex Smith says defenses have been gearing up to take Vernon Davis away from the 49ers' offense, and it's opened up things for others.
Davis has just five catches for 71 scoreless yards over his last three games, combined. "I see a lot of teams trying to take away the big play in the passing game from Vernon," Smith said. "... But in taking that away, it's opened up a lot underneath for other guys. That's why he had so much catch-and-run from our receivers Monday night." These things tend to come full circle. With Michael Crabtree and Randy Moss coming off Week 8 big plays, Davis could easily be the guy open more when the 49ers emerge from their Week 9 bye.
Agreeeeeeed! Smith can't get him the ball, period. Its funny how they use defenses as an excuse but u don't see the same bullshit for Graham and Gronk...those QB's know what they have and make it a point to get'em the ball.
I blame the offensive coordinator. Ive watched every game the Niners have played. They ignore him, seen it with my own eyes. He's suppose to have the Gronk/Graham type season. Now hes lucky to get a damn ball thrown to him. They run the ball way too damn much!
AMEN!!! Stop blaming alex folks you hit the number one answer bro!
