I'm betting carlos hyde will be running behind his blocks on 3rd and short. That's a big load of muscle that's going to be tough to stop. I hope D!ck sherman gets trucked trying to stop those plays.Originally posted by pasodoc9er:Pretty astute observation, Caling4life. To be exact, the LB pinned Vance's arm against his body BEFORE the pass was received. Vance took a lot of grief over that "drop", but it was NOT a drop. His arm was pinned before ball got there and he just couldn't bring it in with the hold. Nobody to my recollection ever noted that before Calin. Good memory. I remember it because Vance took heat on the WZ for it and it was a hold all the way...or a trapped arm. Good defensive play, but it was illegal.
With his size and strength, Vance should be a frequent 3rd down possession receiver, a RZ target, and an EZ target. With 3 all pro WRs , an all pro TE, around him, he should be, by rights, the guy open. The D can no longer double anybody...well, they could, but at their own peril.

Did a recent event at camp inspire this post, or are you just going based on last year?

I am excited about this guy. Love Vernon Davis, but Vance seems tougher, more physical.

I think I read the article random read as well,
Written by Maccio... I'll find the link
Funny how random also left out that amazing 1 handed across the body 30 yard fade grab from Kaep.
VMD can catch, end of story.

I really think a lot hinges on VmD becoming a reliable target. Not only would it allow for more 2 te sets but in case of injury, holdout or Kam Chancellor he could fill in for VD. He is like 270 and fast... if he earns Kaps trust and learns to catch his fastball him and Vernon Would be a serious duo.If Vance fails to do so I think We can expect to see more 3wr sets.
Crabs, Boldin, Vd, Vmc,Hyde.. now that is an insanely physical group that can run or pass . This should be our bread and butter

Yup!
I recall many in the Zone wanted to trade VD.
IMO, Vance will be dynamite!
He was an excellent receiver in college and now has a full season learning how to block at a Pro level.
Also, he really wasn't targeted a whole lot last season so - this is his season to shine.
I also trust Baalke on his section.

seriously, vernon couldn't catch a cold. and when he caught a 5 yard pass he would prance around like he was god's gift to humanity. boy has he changed a lot, good for him.
can't overreact to vance's rookie year.

I wouldn't say he sucked, but he sure had a bad case of the Braylon Edwards. He definitely didn't live up to his potential for a few seasons. Excited to see Vance this year. So far sounds like he's made big improvements catching the ball, but gotta wait til there's an actual game.

Just please catch The ball. You can be the man if you just use them hands.
