"For starters, the 49ers coaching staff messed with Vernon Davis' feet, asking the Pro Bowl tight end to bring them closer together when he got in his stance.

But that was nothing compared to what they did to his head.

Today, Davis acknowledged he was overwhelmed early in the season by the amount of information he was asked to absorb in San Francisco's West Coast offense.

"When I first got in this offense it was almost like I wanted to quit," Davis said. "Like, 'This is too much.' It was too much information at one time that they were throwing on me and Delanie (Walker) and the rest of the tight ends. But we stuck with it, we learned as much as we possibly could and here we are. We're getting better and better each and every week.""
