Despite a four-game losing streak, 49ers tight end Vernon Davis remains confident heading into Thursday’s game against the Chicago Bears.
Make that extremely confident.
Asked for his thoughts on the Bears defense, Davis said the 49ers should roll.
“I think we can destroy their front,” he said. “The guys up front, I think we can destroy them. I don’t see anything spectacular about their front line.”
The Bears’ defense ranks 15th in the NFL heading into the game at Candlestick. It is 21st against the rush and 12th against the pass.
After a couple of days of watching film, Davis said defensive end Adewale Ogunleye was about the only player to catch his eye.
“Their linebackers, I think we can handle them pretty well,” he said. “I like Ogunleye. I like the way he’s playing up front. He’s about the only player I like on their defensive line. I think he’s doing a good job.”
Davis shares the NFL lead with seven touchdowns this season. He is coming off a 10-catch, 102-yard performance against the Tennessee Titans. He became the first 49ers tight end with a 100-yard game since Eric Johnson in 2004.
