http://www.yardbarker.com/rss/player/1692 Recent articles about Vernon Davis en-us After another brutal loss, the 49ers have a short week to turn around and get ready for the also struggling Chicago Bears.  On the one hand that's a bad thing because the 49ers are rather banged up coming off the loss to Tennessee.  On the other hand, one would like to hope a short week will allow them to quickly forget yesterday's ugliness.  In the end what do I know though, right? It's not too difficult to surmise what most of today's links are about.&nbs...

Although he did not have a touchdown catch Sunday for the first time in three games, the tight end did achieve career highs in receptions and yards. Davis latched onto 10 of Alex Smith's passes for 102 yards...

And backup running back Glen Coffee sustained a concussion in the fourth quarter. Those appear to be the players who might not be able to rebound for Thursday's game against the Bears. The rest of the injury report looks like this: TE Delanie Walker (left knee sprain), G David Baas (right shoulder stinger), CB Tarell Brown left ribs contusion), TE Vernon Davis (left shoulder contusion), RB Frank G...

Alex Smith is still back, he just happened to hit the 6th-rated pass defense in the league.  He ran the two-minute drill very effectively, zipping through the Colts defense for a late first-half touchdown to Vernon Davis.  He had a few balls I’m sure he’d [...] Sun, 01 Nov 2009 21:56:39 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/all_sports/article_external/49ers_14_Colts_18_Postgame_Reactions/1481535 http://www.yardbarker.com/all_sports/article_external/49ers_14_Colts_18_Postgame_Reactions/1481535 http://www.yardbarker.com/all_sports/article_external/49ers_14_Colts_18_Postgame_Reactions/1481535 http://www.yardbarker.com/media/0/7/0798d4603be6e5ad4f602a79f93fceb19e1b7b2e/small/GettyImage.ashx_url_http_3a_2f_2fcache.gettyimages.com_2fxc_2f91508827.jpg_3fv_3d1_26c_3dEWSAsset_26k_3d2_26d_3d77BFBA49EF878921CC759DF4EBAC47D0B4A4599F4E86757FFA822EA01DBD2BC8E6125016A9B825CB.jpg This post is sponsored by Comcast and their NFL RedZone channel.  If you want to see every touchdown from every NFL game as it happens as well as live look-ins to all of Sunday's games in key situations hurry up and get yourself Comcast's NFL RedZone Channel.

Morgan has 13 catches for 202 yards and one touchdown. "It is what it is. If he can help us win, I'm all right with that. "They gave him my spot. So if he's going to be in there, I might as well help him out so I can make sure he gets it right." Morgan has also started getting some work on kickoff returns. Morgan said he wo...

We talked briefly. I didn't really say much to him, I pretty much just listened to what he had to say. I saw the point he was trying to make as far as on the field. He pretty much told me I've got to be aware of what's going on, on the field. If someone says something to me, I can't let it bother me. I have got to be bigger than that. I agree. I shouldn't have retaliated after the guy said what he said. I should have just moved on and tried to be the bigger man. One thing about me, when I get heated, I just want to be to myself. I didn't really hear Coach Singletary call me on sideline. I didn't really hear him calling me at the time. I was just in another world because I had everybody else saying something to me. I didn't really hear anybody else talking. I didn't say anything to coach. I pretty much just listened to Coach Singletary said when he approached me. He told me to sit down and I sat down, and he told me to go inside and I went inside. I was asked today by the media if Coach Singletary and I could work together. Yeah, I believe we can make it work. Coach Singletary, he's a coach that really wants to win. He's excited and this is his first time having a big job like this so he has to get comfortable, and we have to get comfortable with each other, I think he's going to do a good job. I know that I'm a team guy. My teammates know it. I love my teammates, I love the coaches. I think that they're doing a good job around here, and I would never do anything to hurt my teammates or put them in any kind of trouble. Coach Singletary always preaches we have to stay together and he's right, team first. It's about the team, it ain't about me, it ain't about the coaches, it ain't about individuals. It's about the team. When you're playing this game, especially where we're at right now. We're at a point right now where we need to come out of a hole. It's tough. We really have to be a team at this point and depend on each other.
