SANTA CLARA — Vernon Davis spoke in the locker room Tuesday afternoon. Here’s what he said about how much the 49ers have improved over the last few years.
Q: Do you ever stop and think about how far this team has come in two years with Jim Harbaugh?
VERNON DAVIS: We started from zero and just kept building. We brought guys in like Michael Crabtree. In the beginning it was Frank Gore, me, Delanie. We all came in and started to put this thing together, and then the other guys came and we kept adding. We built something pretty unique. We built an empire. And that’s what it’s about. In order to win championship games, you have to have a championship team and that’s what we have around here.
Q: Do you call it the Greg Roman Empire?
VERNON DAVIS: I wouldn’t call it the Greg Roman Empire. He’s the one who calls the shots, but we’re the one out there calling the plays. So I can’t just give it all to Greg Roman. I’m sorry, Greg.

Wouldn’t give Greg Romen any credit accept for the ulcers he gives me. To conservative
I don’t think he got the Great Roman Empire reference.
Not at all, lol.
Neither did I…
Wait, no credit to alex?
For??
Win a couple Super Bowls and then the Roman Empire term will be applicable.
Who asked the Greg Roman Empire question? That was kind of funny.
Is it just me or is Vernon one of the few guys on the team who doesn’t sound like Harbaugh during interviews?
He’s the best interview on the team, imo.
VD sounds the most like a politician to me. I bet he runs for office when he’s older.
Dangle,
I don’t know if you’re meaning that as an insult or a compliment.
I think he actually listens to the question, and thinks before he answers, giving thoughtful, honest, candid answers.
Grant should do a weekly blog: Deep Thoughts with Vernon Davis.
SF hasn’t played a game where they have peaked in two years since Harboo has arrived. When will it happen? Can it happen? A soft zone with a half to play. I bemember when a guy name Warner used to come to the stick. I dunno how many games it took SF to realize you had to blitz that christian.
The playmakers this team has, why wouldn’t you turn Da Dawgs loose?
Seattle is in for a long day. Let me see: Seattle minus two starting corners, a short saw off QB, odds makers giving SF a half point. Give me a F*cking break, a half point fave? You knock off the number one seed and you rank third in the poles. Anyone check out these calls A phantom pass interference call? WTF! An illegal touch when a wideout is pushed out of bounds fifteen yards down the field? How bout the illegale use of hands on a fumble in the bears game. Where do these B*tches come up with this horse Sheet? Tommy crybaby Brady says they let the game slip away. Should have never been in the game. Crybaby Brady says they made mistakes, SF forced those mistakes. Lets see are you telling me Donte Whitless hit was a slip up on the patty cake patriots part? Since when does a middle linebacker avoid making a hit on a QB. Look at 53′s block on the QB on SF DB’s return against the pattycakes. This game should have been 62-21. If SF gets healthy they will roll. Wonder if tuff guy Candy Jacobs watched the game?
My four year old hasa higher IQ than some of these athletes and I dont even have a four year old. Lookin more and more like the Bronk Ho’s and forty F8ckin Niners in the Super bowl.
Got to get back to the green room.
This guy is by far the best commenter on here, always has been!!!
Do paragraphs exist in your universe?
It’s funny; I only have to slow down my reading speed for two folks on this board, JPN, who’s incredible command of the english language is a throwback to the 17 and 1800′s when people were educated in the very best sense of the word, and this guy, Coach…. um… Weed.
Dude, nice frikkin’ post. I had to reread a couple lines (slowly), but after I passed them through my internal translator, I found myself agreeing with each of your points! lol Entertaining as hell.
A stoned coach that makes complete sense. Loved it!!
Vernon is the man, but he probably could have answered that question more elegantly. I don’t think he means any harm by it but he could have easily said something like…”The Roman empire sounds promising, but lets not call it an empire until we actually win something”
