Dave,

I did a quick search and came up with these links. Not sure if it covers the point Kevin was trying to make. But I just plugged the search term, "vernon davis they're taking away my routes", into Google and dozens of links came back.

I'm a big fan of Davis and I think we need him more now than ever. He seems like he can be a fairly emotional guy, especially in front of a microphone, but I expect we'll see a few big plays from him on Saturday.

Vernon Davis Routes 1

“Some of the routes I usually run, they are taking them away,” Davis said. “The [routes] up the sideline, it’s not there. Nothing’s there. When I run my corner routes, the cornerback is dropping to the corner. They are just taking stuff away, some of my explosive routes and stuff.”


Vernon Davis Routes 2

VERNON DAVIS: It all depends on how they play me. We can’t just turn on the film and watch how they play tight ends, because they play me differently. That’s one thing that’s kind of been a setback for me, because they don’t play me the same as they play other guys. They take a lot of my routes away, especially my deep routes. But in that case, I expect Crabtree and Moss and the other guys to get open.
