Five catches after five games is not what the sixth overall pick in the 2006 draft had in mind. Nevertheless, Vernon Davis soldiers on for the 49ers, learning to be patient while pass-blocking like he was made to be a tackle instead of a 250-pound tight end. Welcome to the Mike Martz offense, which places a premium on a featured running back and three wide receivers. Thus, Frank Gore leads the NFL in yards from scrimmage (603) and the 49ers in receptions (19 for 180 yards) while receivers Arnaz Battle (16-211), Isaac Bruce (14-275) and Bryant Johnson (13-178) take turns catching the rest of J.T. O'Sullivan's passes. Davis and fellow tight end Delanie Walker, the better receiver of the two, each have five catches.
