San Francisco's Vernon Davis all but guarantees win against Chiefs
Vernon Davis, the 49ers' terrific young tight end, spoke to Kansas City reporters today and didn't lack for confidence -- all but guaranteeing a victory Sunday against the Chiefs.
"We have to win this one. We will win this one," Davis said. "I’m pretty confident that we will pull this one out."
Asked to clarify whether he was guaranteeing a win at Arrowhead Stadium, Davis said:
"We will win this game. We have the team to do it. We’ve just got to get rid of all the mistakes. Without the mistakes, there’s no telling where we can go. There’s no limit."
As often happens, word spread quickly through the Chiefs' locker room. Defensive lineman Shaun Smith, who's probably the team's biggest trash talker, pulled his punches, saying he wasn't intimidated by Davis or the 49ers.
"That's just Vernon Davis being Vernon Davis," Smith said. "You know him. ... That's just a guy trying to get some locker-room talk, some locker-room chatter. That's also a guy trying to get his team going.
"For him to put out there on line, guaranteeing victory, that's him. We'll see what happens on Sunday."
