49ers Coach Mike Singletary Looking For A Multi-Dimensional Threat
Mike Singletary is desperately seeking a return man. “Oh, it ranks very high,” the 49ers’ coach said Monday of his offseason shopping list.
What Singletary and the 49ers really could use, however, is a return man who is more than a return man. That is, someone who also adds punch to the offense.
Case in point: Sunday’s NFC championship game, in which the two most explosive players, Percy Harvin and Reggie Bush, could be moved around the field like chess pieces.
Harvin, a first-round draft pick in April, is questionable for the game because of migraine headaches. The Associated Press Offensive Rookie of the Year averaged 27.5 yards on kickoff returns, fourth in the NFL, with two touchdowns, one against the 49ers, this season.
Harvin also was a multifunctional tool in the Minnesota offense. Although he primarily lined up as a wide receiver, the Vikings often let him run the ball, and he averaged 9.0 yards on 15 attempts during the regular season. Harvin set a franchise record for all-purpose yards with 2,081, breaking Herschel Walker’s 1990 mark by 30 yards.
