The Press Democrat is reporting that Vernon Davis participated exclusively with the wide receivers, not the tight ends, during the 49ers’ past mini-camp. With Michael Crabtree injured, splitting Davis out wide for certain situations seems like the best option for the 49ers. Davis is a big target and a matchup nightmare for smaller cornerbacks outside. This will also give more opportunities for Anquan Boldin to be involved as he has been lining up at slot for the 49ers. Having Davis line up outside on 3rd downs will give Colin Kaepernick a big target to look for to pick up the first down. We’ll see how well this idea works during the season.
