[QUOTE="Marvin49, post: 484034, member: 7068"] The thing with Vernon... He is the fastest TE in the NFL. However, he isn't all that nimble and he isn't a great route runner. He's not the "find the spot in the zone and stop" type guy. He's not Jason Witten. Where he excels is in Blocking and in running PAST defenders. He runs a legit 4.3 40. He'll run past almost any LB in the league and most safeties. What is interesting tho is that he may not be the guy you have to worry about. Since teams have been scheming to take him away, the 49ers have kept him in to block much more often and have sent Delanie Walker out into the Pattern. The difference in Walkers numbers with Alex and with Kaep is huge. Keep an eye on Delanie. Hes big (but not tall) fast, and nimble (actually returned kicks early in his career...as a TE). The only problem is he tends to have some stone hands at times. Kaep should have 2 or 3 more TDs and they should have beaten St. Louis if he could just have held the ball. [/QUOTE]
