Vernon Davis - can he keep up the pace?

[Big Dogs]

for those 49er homers, can Vernon Davis keep up this pace, now that Crabtree is in the line

Not a homer but just an observation. Many things are going in favor of Davis right now:

 

-he's on the field all the time

-their OC, whoever it is, is using him perfectly by moving him around to force matchup problems

 

The knock against him is that when/if opposing Ds decide to shut him down, he'll be shut down. He has terrible lateral movement and runs pretty much one pattern... skinny post/seam route. Thanks to him getting moved around and teams leaving a LB or S in single or zone coverage, he's been money.
