Vernon Davis would like to suggest a new rule

After being tackled in a way no man wants to be tackled yesterday, 49ers tight end Vernon Davis had an idea.

Specifically, he thinks the maneuver Rams safety T.J. McDonald used to bring him down should be illegal.

It’s a hard position to argue against, although it would be entertaining to be a fly on the wall when the owners meet to see who, ahem, raises the suggestion.

Of course, Davis should probably consider himself fortunate. He could have been Andre Ellington.

And that would have created a problem that a weave wouldn’t fix.
