Instant 49ers:
* * *
Among the other things Walker said:
--The Titans like to blitz, so the 49ers might need to keep extra guys in to block it up. The two-tight end sets can give the 49ers a little advantage. When Walker's in the game, the opposition usually matches that with a nickel back, which should make it easier to run, he said.
--Walker's main attribute is his versatility. Last week, he entered for a few plays late in the game when Davis had cramps due to a tight tape job, Davis said. Walker entered the game at that point as a single tight end.
--Most of the time Walker is in there, he said he gets covered by a cornerback or a safety. Walker was a wideout in college, and he said not many teams want to leave a linebacker on him one on one.
