3 THE HEAD COACHES Mike Singletary is in his first full season as the head coach of the 49ers. A two-time Defensive Player of the Year (1985 &1988), Singletary played 12 seasons ( ) for the Chicago Bears and earned countless honors, including 10 consecutive Pro Bowl nods and eight first-team All-Pro selections. After retiring in 1993, he decided to take time away from the game to raise a family. In 2003, Singletary broke into the coaching ranks as the inside linebackers coach for the Baltimore Ravens. He then moved on to the 49ers in 2005, where he served as the assistant head coach and linebackers coach. A year later, he was elevated to assistant head coach/defense, a title which he held until taking over as the 49ers head coach midway through the 2008 season. He went on to compile a 5-4 record that year, which included victories in five of the final seven contests of the season.

THE LAST TIME ATLANTA 20, SAN FRANCISCO 17 At Atlanta, GA, November 4, 2007 The Atlanta Falcons handed the 49ers their 6th consecutive loss with a victory at the Georgia Dome. The 49ers 2nd half comeback attempt was halted by two drives deep in Atlanta territory that ended in FGs rather than TDs, and two turnovers that were converted into 6 Atlanta points. Atlanta converted a fumble into a FG and a Smith INT at the San Francisco 15-yd. line into another FG. After falling behind 14-7 at halftime, the 49ers opened the 3rd quarter with a drive to the Atlanta 31-yd. line to set up a 49-yd. field goal by PK Joe Nedney. The 49ers appeared to get a break on the next series when S Michael Lewis intercepted a QB Joe Harrington pass inside Atlanta territory to give the 49ers a 1st down at the Atlanta 33-yd. line. The 49ers moved to the 14-yd. line before being forced to settle for a FG to make it a one point game at San Francisco s next two drives ended in turnovers. The 49ers defense held Atlanta following a QB Alex Smith INT that gave Atlanta a 1st down at the San Francisco 40-yd. line. Then Falcons DE John Abraham forced a fumble on a sack of Smith, allowing the Falcons start a drive at the 36-yd. line. That turnover was converted into a 33-yd. FG by PK Morten Andersen. The 49ers responded on the ensuing drive and seemed poised to take the lead after reaching the Atlanta 1-yd. line. Smith completed a short pass to TE Vernon Davis down to the 1-yd. line, setting up a 3rd-and-goal situation. RB Michael Robinson was stuffed on the next play for a 3-yd. loss, and the 49ers were forced to settle for a 22-yd. Nedney field goal to close the Atlanta lead to With 2:29 to play and the 49ers backed at their own 3-yd. line, Smith was intercepted by CB DeAngelo Hall. Hall s 18-yd. return to the 15-yd. line set up a 27-yd. FG by Andersen for a Atlanta lead. San Francisco got the ball back with 1:10 to play, but Smith threw his third INT of the day to clinch the win. The 49ers opened the game with an impressive 59-yd. drive that was culminated with a 9-yd. TD run by RB Maurice Hicks. Atlanta countered with a 70-yd. TD drive to even the score and then took the lead in the 2nd quarter after converting a 4thdown play and a 3rd-and-short to set up a TD and a 14-7 halftime lead. Robinson and Hicks filled in at running back for an injured Frank Gore (ankle).

4 SING-ING HIS PRAISES Head coach Mike Singletary is known to be the 49ers living, breathing quote machine. Whether it s a stirring pre-game speech, a mid-practice pep talk or an enthusiastic post-game press conference, the Hall of Famer knows how to passionately deliver a message. With more than a week of Camp Singletary under their belts, the new head coach s pupils sounded off about the man charged with leading them back to greatness. When asked to give a word that best describes Singletary, none of these team leaders stopped at one. Go figure the word intense came up multiple times. Linebacker Patrick Willis - Perfectionist. We expect to be in the Super Bowl under coach Singletary s guidance, that s the God s honest truth. The way we ve gone about working, the time that we ve put in and the way that he s forming this team as one, is not something that you do just to win games but to build a championship team. Center Eric Heitmann - Committed. Coach Singletary is a tremendous motivator and leader. He is incredibly driven and I really admire the way that he s brought this team together and made it more of a family atmosphere amongst the players. Running Back Frank Gore - Indescribable. I like that he keeps it 100% with the team. He knows what we need to do if we want to be one of the elite teams in this league. I know that he cares about what we do out there. I know that if we re doing the right thing, it s going to carry over to the field on Sundays. Tight End Vernon Davis - No nonsense. He wants us to be a family and stick together, be there for one another and just play this game the way it is supposed to be played. Tackle Joe Staley - Intense. If you know Singletary, you know that he s known for his intensity and being physical with an F, as he puts it. Everybody sees his fire, his passion and his intensity for football. The passion that he brings rubs off on this organization and it s exciting. Quarterback Shaun Hill - Champion. The thing that I really like and respect about him is he s completely open and honest with us. I hope that this team, under his tutelage, continues to gel and mold and turn into the team that he envisions us to be. I think we re on our way to doing that. Cornerback Nate Clements - Old-school. He played the game. He s one of those coaches that has been to the Super Bowl and has experienced what we re trying to achieve here. We listen to what he has to say because he s already experienced what we re trying to accomplish. Returner Allen Rossum - Intense. He s set such a high standard that we re all buying into. He s giving you a chance to reach the potential that you probably never thought that you could reach. Safety Michael Lewis - Strong. With coach Singletary every small detail counts and it leads to the success of the team. What we re trying to build here is a family atmosphere where we can trust one another and also play for one another. WELCOME TO THE FAMILY When 49ers head coach Mike Singletary was filling out his coaching staff this past offseason, he sought individuals who could not only teach, but also inspire. He went on to add five new faces to what he considered an already special group of coaches, while also elevating Johnnie Lynn to the position of special assistant to the head coach/secondary. Offensive Coordinator - Jimmy Raye Raye rejoins the 49ers after originally serving as the San Francisco s wide receivers coach in He has over 30 years of NFL coaching experience, including a total of 12 years as an offensive coordinator for several teams: Los Angeles Rams ( , 91), Tampa Bay Bucs ( ), New England Patriots (1990), Kansas City Chiefs ( ), Washington Redskins (2001) and Oakland Raiders ( ). When I sat down and listened to what he had to say, in terms of what his philosophy was and the conviction behind it, he talked about the physicality that the offense has to have. He talked about the toughness, both mentally and physically, that the offense has to have. The discipline it takes to do those things. That to me, that was something that we were really excited about. - Mike Singletary Pass Rush Specialist - Al Harris Harris, who is in his first season as an NFL coach, enjoyed a stellar 11- year playing career with the Chicago Bears ( , 86-88) and Philadelphia Eagles ( ). Al Harris greatest attribute is as a teacher. We re excited about the addition of Al because our players will benefit from his teaching ability, in terms of the strategy and methodology of what goes into the pass rush. - Mike Singletary Offensive Assistant - Jason Michael Michael brings both NFL and collegiate coaching experience to San Francisco. Prior to joining the 49ers, he served as the tight ends coach at the University of Tennessee in 2008, after coaching two years ( ) with the New York Jets and one season with the Raiders (2005). I have familiarity with Jason from my time with the Raiders and Jets. He s an extremely organized individual with innate intelligence. Jason has a great feel for defensive game-planning and the type of football we d like to run. He s very much a parrt of what we do. - Jimmy Raye Running Backs - Tom Rathman Rathman is in his 2nd coaching stint with the 49ers, having coached running backs for San Francisco In five of his six seasons with the team, the 49ers rushing attack finished in the top 10 among NFL teams. As a player, Rathman helped the 49ers win two Super Bowl Championships and seven NFC West titles during a playing career that spanned nine years ( ). I think Tom has developed a good rapport with all the running backs, getting to know who they are and coaching them hard, and at the same time being that father figure when you have to listen and help them work through things. - Mike Singletary Inside Linebackers - Vantz Singletary Singletary joins the 49ers after coaching 17 seasons in the collegiate ranks. In 2008, he served as the defensive tackles coach at the University of Buffalo, where he helped lead the school to its first ever bowl appearance. Vantz has had a tremendous career during his many seasons as a collegiate coach. I am confident that the way he has worked with young football players during that extensive experience will translate into success as he embarks on his NFL coaching career. - Mike Singletary

5 WHAT TO LOOK FOR WR ISAAC BRUCE Needs 2 more starts to reach 200 for his career. RB FRANK GORE Needs 318 rushing yards to become just the 5th player in franchise history to register 5,000 career rushing yards. Needs 22 attempts to reach 1,000 career attempts. Tied with RB Garrison Hearst for 2nd in team history with 16 career 100-yard games. Needs 5 more to pass RB Joe Perry (20). Ranks 10th in franchise history with 6,164 yards from scrimmage in his career. Needs 500 yds. to pass WR Gene Washington for 9th on the all-time list. QB SHAUN HILL With a win, will improve his overall record as a starter to 11-4 and his record at home to 8-0. K JOE NEDNEY With 1,009 career points, Nedney is the 42nd player to reach the 1,000 point plateau for his career. S MARK ROMAN Will extend his streak to 101 consecutive games played. Ranks 2nd in the NFL among safeties for consecutive games played (Deon Grant, SEA 132). CB ALLEN ROSSUM Ranks 9th in NFL history with 3,018 punt return yards and needs 114 punt return yards to move into 8th place all-time. Needs 13 more return yards to reach 15,000 total return yards for his career. He would be the second player in the NFL history to surpass 15,000 return yards (Brian Mitchell - 19,013). DT JUSTIN SMITH Will extend his consecutive games started streak to 128. He leads all defensive linemen with 127 consecutive starts. TRUE IDENTITY One of the first orders of business 49ers head coach Mike Singletary wanted to address this offseason was the creation of an identity. The identity that we wanted to achieve this offseason, Singletary said, was to be a physical football team, to be a tough football team, to be relentless, to be disciplined and to be smart. I think we ve proven that we can be a physical team, and we have to carry that into the season, game in and game out. We have to be tough, relentless and smart. As a quarterback I have to be smart, and I take being relentless to heart. Sometimes things don t always go the way you want them to, but as long as you re relentless and keep hacking at it, I feel that at the end of the game, we ll be on top. QB Shaun Hill We are building an identity of Champions. That s what our main focus has been about all offseason. Since the time Coach Singletary has taken over, it hasn t been about let s just win a few more games than we won last year or let s just be a little bit better, but let s be Champions and let s train like Champions. LB Patrick Willis We want to be known as a physical, fearless, relentless, smart and disciplined team that has a lot of toughness. We re coming in here every day and working hard and treating every play with physicalness. We want to be known as a smash-mouth team that doesn t beat themselves. I think that we ve accomplished that during this training camp. We ve identified 53 guys that are best qualified to meet those standards. T Joe Staley We have a fast, physical, smart team that will fight you throughout four quarters, and if there is a case where we happened to get knocked down or lose a fight, we have so much. I think as a group we are so relentless that we will continue to come back until you quit. - LB Takeo Spikes INDIVIDUAL RANKINGS PLAYER NFL RK NFC RK CB DRE BLY Passes Defensed (6) 3t 1st WR ISAAC BRUCE Receptions (13) 66t 32t Receiving Yards (167) 57t 30t Third-down Receptions (6) 19t 9t CB NATE CLEMENTS Interceptions (1) 19t 12t Passes Defensed (6) 3t 1 TE VERNON DAVIS Receptions (17) Among TE s 9t 6t Receiving Yards (211) Among TE s 6 4 Receiving TDs (3) Among TE s 1 1 Receiving TDs (3) Among All Players 2t 2t FS DASHON GOLDSON Interceptions (1) 19t 12t RB FRANK GORE Rushing Yards (241) Leading Scorers, non-kickers (24) 4t 2t Most Yards from Scrimmage (298) Most Rushing Yards, Single Game (207) 1 1 QB SHAUN HILL Passer Rating (93.3) th Quarter Passer Rating (133.7) 3 2 Third-down Passer Rating (106.4) 4 4 P ANDY LEE Punting Average (48.1) 5 4 Net Punting Average (40.7) 10 6 DT RAY MCDONALD Sacks (2) 25t 11t PK JOE NEDNEY Leading scorers, kickers (30) 9t 4t Touchbacks on kickoffs (3) 14t 8t Field Goal Pct (85.7%) 9t 4t Field Goals Made (6) 9t 4t CB SHAWNTAE SPENCER Interceptions (1) 19t 12t LB PATRICK WILLIS Interceptions (2) 5t 4t Tackles (37) 6 4 Sacks (2.5) 20t 7t Defensive statistics are those provide by the league, not from coaches film review.

6 WINNING TRENDS Dating back to 2008, the 49ers have won five of their last six contests, and eight of their past 11 games. Aside from San Francisco and New Orleans, each team that has won at least eight of their last 11 regular season games had made it to the playoffs in Over the last 11 games, the 49ers have outscored their opponents and have a perfect 5-0 record at Candlestick Park. MUSIC TO MY EARS in the trenches MOST WINS SINCE NOV. 16, 2008 TEAM WINS 1. Indianapolis Minnesota 8 3t. San Francisco 8 Baltimore 8 New England 8 New York Giants 8 New Orleans 8 Pittsburgh 8 Jimmy Raye has a history of getting the most out of his running backs and tight ends, which is music to the ears of both RB Frank Gore and TE Vernon Davis. From , Raye orchestrated a Los Angeles Rams offense that featured RB Eric Dickerson, who rushed for 2,105 yards in 1984 and 1,808 yards in Several years later, Raye guided TE Tony Gonzalez to the 2nd highest receiving total of his career (1,203 in 2000), while serving as the Chiefs offensive coordinator from Having knowledge of Raye s past, Davis is looking forward to an increased role in the passing game in Since I ve been here, I haven t really had the opportunity to showcase what I could do, but now that Jimmy Raye has come in, he s given me a lot more opportunity to make plays, said Davis. Davis three touchdown receptions are the most of any tight end in the NFL after four games, while his 211 receiving yards rank 6th in the league. Davis, who has 120 career receptions for 1,343 yards and 12 touchdowns in his career. I think with his speed and athleticism, his ability to in-line block and the fact that he can block a defensive end in the league, which is unusual for a tight end, and having the combination of the ability to go downfield and matchup and catch the ball, I see him being a very good fit. Raye said of Davis. We feel that we can create some good mismatches with Vernon and Delanie (Walker), said QB Shaun Hill. They are very athletic for tight ends. If we can get them matched up in space we feel good about that. That is part of our emphasis, without a doubt. HIGHEST AVERAGE PER CARRY IN SINGLE GAME, 49ERS HISTORY GAME ATT YDS AVG 1. vs. Dallas Texans, 10/26/ vs. Seattle, 9/20/ vs. New York Jets, 9/6/ vs. Atlanta, 9/19/ The 49ers have size and strength along their offensive line, with an average height of over 6 4 and average weight of pounds among the starting unit. They also have youth on their side. C Eric Heitmann, the old man of the group, is just 29 years old; G David Baas and T Adam Snyder are each 27; T Joe Staley is 24; and G Chilo Rachal is 23. I m excited for them and think they re going to continue to jell and continue to get better, said head coach Mike Singletary. The leaders of the offensive line are Heitmann and Staley. Heitmann, one of the longest-tenured 49ers, has been a mainstay on the offensive line since being drafted in the seventh round in He started his 102nd game last week and has a current streak of 36 consecutive starts. Staley, a first-round pick in the 2007 NFL Draft, has played nearly every possible snap on offense since entering the league. TURNING THE TIDES One of the main messages head coach Mike Singletary stressed to the team this offseason was the importance of playing smart. After surrendering a league-high 35 giveaways in 2008, San Francisco has surrendered just 2 giveaways over four games this season, while also recording 7 takeaways. The +5 turnover ratio is a stark contrast to the -17 differential from 2008, which ranked tied for 31st in the NFL. With the exception of Jacksonville, each team that has a +2 turnover ratio or better this season has a.500 winning percentage or higher. NFL TURNOVER DIFFERENTIAL (2009) TEAM TAKEAWAYS GIVEAWAYS DIFF 1t. Green Bay Denver New Orleans t. San Francisco Minnesota t. Jacksonville New York Giants Atlanta t. Five Teams +2 The 2 giveaways are the fewest in the NFL this year. One of the things we talk about as a team is not losing football games, said Singletary following the win against St. Louis. Making other teams earn every point they get. When you turn the ball over, it is a formula for disaster, and our guys understand that offensively. Our guys understand that defensively.

RED HOT IN THE RED ZONE San Francisco s offense has experienced success when entering the red zone, scoring 5 TDs in 8 red zone drives to rank 6th in the NFL and 2nd in the NFC with a 62.5 TD efficiency.

7 BLue collar BAsIcS Under the guidance of defensive coordinator Greg Manusky, the 49ers defense has steadily improved in numerous categories. Manusky, who played 12 seasons in the NFL as a linebacker, saw his unit excel during the final half of the 2008 season. With a simplified 3-4 alignment, the 49ers defense went from ranking 23rd in the NFL after seven games played to 13th by season s end. Since Manusky took over the 49ers defense in 2007, the results have been positive. 49ERS DEFENSIVE RANKINGS * 2008* 2009* Total Yards Per Game Yards Per Play Rush Yards Per Game Rush Yards Per Attempt Pass Yards Per Game Pass Yards Per Attempt rd Down (%) Sacks t-6 Explosive Plays (20+ YDS) t-8 Red Zone (TD%) t-4 *Under Defensive Coordinator Greg Manusky Since November 16, 2008, the 49ers defense leads the NFC and ranks 6th among all NFL teams in limiting points by their opponents, allowing just 15.9 points per game to rank 4th overall during that span.

In 2006, Smith seemed to be on the path to success as he became the first 49ers quarterback in club history to take every snap from center over the course of a season, setting career-highs in every major statistical category: attempts (442), completions (257), yds. (2,890), and TDs (16). After several setbacks in past seasons due to shoulder injuries, Smith took great steps in the offseason in rehabilitationg his throwing shoulder to a solid recovery. His progress was also evident during the pre-season where he showed glimpses of his ability from his rookie year, as well as a newfound toughness through Coach Singletary s regime.

I m very excited about what I ve seen from him, says head coach Mike Singletary. Glen s a tough runner and he s going to be a great addition to our football team. He really adds a lot to what we re trying to do. He s doing a great job, says Gore. He runs strong and finds the holes. Glen is going to be a great player. The rookie from Alabama has relied on advice from Gore, I take the game seriously, says Coffee. Frank and I have similar approaches and I try to learn from him. He knows what it takes. jolt of coffee 49ers offensive coordinator Jimmy Raye likes what he sees from the rookie and is excited about what he will bring to the team. He has been really exceptional for a rookie running back, says Raye. He s way ahead of the curve in terms of pass protection and that s unusual for a college back. He s a rugged player, he s mentally tough and he plays physical football. He has vision and the ability to get fast in the hole. He has a bright future.

15 21 FRANK GORE RUNNING BACK The heart of the 49ers offense for the past 4 seasons, Pro Bowl RB Frank Gore has established himself as one of the premier running backs in the NFL. Known as a breakaway threat and tough inside runner, the former third-round pick became the first 49er in team history to record 3 consecutive 1,000-yd. rushing seasons. During the offseason, Gore went through a rigorous training regime with other NFL players that are also former University of Miami alum to prepare for the 2009 season. Among many others, Gore has garnered praise from first year offensive coordinator Jimmy Raye, who has noticed Gore s gains from his workouts and expects an outstanding season from the 5th-year veteran. INJURY REPORT: Sidelined for approximately 2 more weeks with a right ankle strain and a hind right foot sprain AWARDS & HONORS: NFC Offensive Player of the Week (week 2) FedEx Ground Player of the Week (week 2) 2009 HIGHLIGHTS: same game for first time in his career at Arz.

Became the first player in franchise history to have 2 runs of 79 yards or more in the same game vs. Sea. (9/20/09). Left the game at. Min. (9/27) early in the first quarter with an ankle injury. GOLDMINE: Frank s determination to run over defenders comes from his tough upbringing in Miami, FL. Some considered his football career over when he suffered two serious knee injuries at the University of Miami. He relied, however, on his mother Liz s strength to help him through. She had been on dialysis (awaiting a kidney transplant) since I was in the 11th grade and raised three kids as a single woman, Frank said. Unfortunately, Liz lost her battle with kidney disease before the 49ers second game of the 2007 season against the St. Louis Rams. Playing with a heavy heart, Frank responded by rushing for 81 yds. and 2 TDs, including a 43-yd. score on a 4th-and-1 carry, helping the 49ers to a victory. Frank has spent the past summers running hills in Miami with a truck tire tethered to his torso as part of his training regimen. emind himself of the kind of running back he was in high school. He s known to watch old high school highlight films of himself the day before games. It also helps him feel as if he s not too far from home.

With a phenomenal work ethic and tremendous attitude, Gore has hit the ground running and is anxious to start playing games. I feel fast, strong, ready, Gore said. Every time I m on the field, I envision being in the game. I feel great. I feel the more reps, the more comfortable I will be. I m ready to play ball. Gore s efforts and ability have been noticed by everyone, especially new offensive coordinator Jimmy Raye. He has been one of the best workers in preparation, since we started this training camp, Raye said. I think he has the eye of the tiger this year. From what I ve seen, his work ethic has been outstanding and he s looking forward to a good year, and we are looking forward to him having one. Raye is entering his 33rd season in the NFL and he has coached some of the greatest running backs of all-time, including Hall of Famers Marcus Allen and Eric Dickerson. As he watches Gore on the field, Raye knows that he has all the tools to be one of the best to ever play the game. From what I ve seen of him, he has all the criteria, all the prerequisites, to be a top guy, Raye said of Gore. He has it talent-wise, and he has the passion to be a top-level guy, be in the upper echelon of backs that have played in the NFL.

16 21 FRANK GORE RUNNING BACK CONTINUED... player of the week RB Frank Gore was named NFC Offensive Player of the Week for his Week 2 performance vs. Seattle (9/20). Gore paced the 49ers attack, rushing for 207 yds. on 16 car. (12.9 avg.) and 2 TDs in a win. He began his day by setting a new career-long with a 79-yd. TD run in the first quarter. On the first play of the third quarter, he broke his careerlong record again with an 80-yd. TD run. With his second TD run of the day, Gore joined RB Barry Sanders (at Tampa Bay (80, 82) on 10/12/97) as the only players in NFL history to register two touchdown runs of 75-plus yards in the same game. It is a great honor to be mentioned alongside Barry Sanders, but I have to give up props to my offensive line, said Gore. They did a great job. And the receivers, they did a great job downfield. As an offense, we just have to keep moving forward from this game here. Gore s average of 12.9 yards per carry is the second-best single-game average in franchise history (min. 10 carries).

He has put in hard work to become an all-around back, and that includes excelling in pass protection. Over the course of his career, Gore has been seen time and time again holding his own against larger defenders in pass protection. Gore, at 5-9 and 217 pounds, takes pride in how he approaches blocking. It s not about size. It s about what you ve got in your chest. I ve got a lot of heart. Gore s passion goes a long way. If he s not practicing or conditioning, he s probably putting in extra hours of film study. He credits his University of Miami running backs coach, Don Soldinger, for stressing the importance of blocking. Anybody can run the ball, Gore said. If you want to separate yourself, you ve got to do all three phases. That s why you see all the Miami backs around the league - Clinton Portis, Edgerrin James, Willis McGahee - they all block.

In San Francisco, Moran adopted a group of students in the Brother2Brother/ Sister2Sister Mentoring Program as part of his Foundation s initiatives. Moran has hosted the youngsters at 49ers games, provided them with financial support and taught them the importance of life skills, education, goal setting, hard work and good character. When I was growing up I remember this football player came, and he used to come and just talk to the kids, and I still remember that day. I felt if I ever had a chance to go back like that, I would do the same thing.

18 24 MICHAEL ROBINSON RUNNING BACK Michael Robinson has provided the 49ers with a consistent weapon on offense and special teams since being drafted in the fourth round of the 2006 NFL Draft. Robinson saw action at running back, fullback, quarterback and kickoff returner in 2008, as he was named a Pro Bowl alternate on special teams. A special teams ace, he has totaled 62 special teams tackles in just three seasons, which includes a career-high 27 stops in Robinson made the transition from college QB to a tough, powerful rusher upon joining the 49ers.

At Penn State, Michael starred at quarterback and earned Academic All-Big Ten honors three times. More than a football player, Michael gained reporting experience covering Penn State Basketball and on CSTV s Penn State Primetime programs. Robinson has spent time in the television studio in the Bay Area, meeting reporters and gaining experience behind the camera, and also hosts a segment called The Robinson Report on 49ers.com.

19 ers wide receivers 83 ARNAZ BATTLE (ARR-nez) WIDE RECEIVER As one of the longest tenured 49ers on the team, Arnaz Battle has developed into an all-around threat as a receiver, blocker and returner. The former college quarterback progressed from a special teams standout during his first two years in SF into one of the team s most reliable offensive players. Battle served as the primary punt and kickoff returner for the 49ers in 2004, and provides depth at both positions. A sixth-round selection in 2003, Battle has recorded 177 receptions for 2,141 yds. and 11 TDs in 77 career games HIGHLIGHTS: Registered his first punt return of the season vs. StL (10/4). GOLDMINE: Arnaz s tough, hard-nosed play is described by some as competing with a chip on his shoulder. Arnaz however would express it as playing with an angel instead of a chip in remembrance of his younger brother, Brandon. When Arnaz was 9 years old, Brandon passed away in a tragic drowning accident. That memory is one from which Arnaz draws strength and inspiration. On his upper left arm appears a tattoo of his late brother s face that runs from the tip of his shoulder to his bicep. A quarterback for most of his collegiate career at Notre Dame, Arnaz transitioned to wide receiver as a rookie with the 49ers. Being an option quarterback, I initially didn t have the stride it took to be a receiver and open in and out of my routes. I was kind of choppy in my steps. Just putting all of that together, being in shape and getting my muscles stretched so I could extend my running form was probably the most challenging part of making the switch. I think as far as grasping the playbook and the terminology, I found that I was able to digest it much easier and faster having played the quarterback position. Arnaz learned his moves early on. His father played tight end at North Texas and with the St. Louis Rams for two seasons. By the time Battle became interested in football, his dad was mostly on the road as a truck driver, but when he came home, father and son played catch out in the yard.

GOLDMINE: he wishes to become one after his playing days.

I know he told me last year that that s something he wanted to strive to be, said Singletary. I felt that this year, just simply by what many of his teammates have said, comments the coaches have made about the maturity level that Vernon has shown and the professionalism and the work ethic and all of those things, I m very excited about him. This is a great honor given to me by coach, Davis said. Being named a team captain just encourages me to play better, excel even higher in the upcoming games. I look forward to leading by example and most importantly, helping the team win [during] the 2009 season. With the team trailing in the fourth quarter at Arizona (9/13), Davis and QB Shaun Hill connected four times for 35 yards on the gamewinning 15-play drive. I thought Vernon was a big part of some of the success that we had in throwing the ball, and Shaun Hill connecting with him, said Singletary. He has good hands. I saw him during the offseason catching balls in every situation, in every position.

He tied a career-high with 7 receptions, set a new career-high with 96 receiving yards and registered two touchdown receptions in the same game for the first time in his career. But all the personal success didn t mean anything to Davis because the team lost. I helped my team, Davis said. But it really doesn t mean anything to me because I want to win. I m not a selfish person. If I m the only one who did good, I m not happy. Midway through the fourth quarter, QB Shaun Hill connected with Davis on a 20-yard touchdown pass to put the 49ers ahead DAVIS 2009 PROJECTED TOTALS Rec. Yds.

You can really start to see the work he s put in in the offseason. He s a great weapon for us. Davis leads the 49ers in receptions (17), receiving yards (211) and receiving touchdowns (3). He is one of two tight ends in the NFL that lead their team in all three categories (Kellen Winslow, TB). Davis three touchdown receptions are the most among all tight ends in the NFL. Although he has shown his ability through the first three weeks, both Davis and head coach Mike Singletary know that there is always room for improvement. I will just say that yesterday was an improvement for him, Singletary said. I think what Vernon is capable of is a lot better than yesterday. But, it was certainly a good game for him. It was taking another step, but I think if you ask Vernon, Vernon wants the ball. And Vernon is going to make plays. So, I just think I m thankful that he and Shaun were able to hook up as much as they were, but hopefully we see more of that in the future.
