Jim Harbaugh, Vernon Davis Discuss Sunday's Matchup in New Orleans

I know you aren’t going to disclose which quarterback will play and maybe you don’t know yet, but what do you like about each of them?

“In both guys we have quarterbacks that we’re confident in, believe in, have won for us, Alex (Smith) over a long period of 25 games and Colin (Kaepernick) playing winning football the last two times he’s been out on the field. Plus the situation is that he’s (Kaepernick) has gotten to play this year. Both of them have displayed that they are guys that we believe in, are confident in and can win for us.”

Vernon Davis obviously played very well in the NFC Divisional Playoff last year and is coming off a big game. What do you like about him?

“A lot of things. He has been a tremendous team player, blocker, pass-catcher and just all of the things that encompass a football player: strong, fast, smart, good guy in the locker room, all those things and adjectives you use with a football player.”

Are there subtle things in the game that he’s gotten better or more consistent at since the Saints faced him last?

“Yes. He was playing at a very high level at that time. He’s already a really good route runner and blocker. He’s already strong and fast. There are subtle changes and improvements. As you can imagine, he was already pretty darn good too, but he’s getting better at everything.”

As a former quarterback is your defense pretty scary to you?

“Scary? Scary is the New Orleans team and the way they’re playing. That’s scary right now, watching how they’re operating offensively, defensively, (and on) special teams. They’re playing real good football. That’s a big concern and we have a lot of respect for them as a football team having competed against them and watching a lot of their success on tape, the fundamentals, technique, coaching, fine play and the talent that they have. I have a lot of respect for the ballclub.”

As a former quarterback is the performance of your defense sort of daunting when you look at it?

“Our own team? I think it’s asking questions of can we come up with a great plan this week for the Saints? (Can we) have the type of preparation we need, get ourselves motivated in this big, big game on a short week, travel well? Those are more questions that we have to concern ourselves and focus on that, those questions and making sure we get it done.”

Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege.

All little common sense goes a long way.
