This is basically what happened and Singletary's comments at the press conference after the game against Seattle if you haven't already seen it.
In the defense of Davis he probably is frustrated, he hasn't exactly had a good QB to throw the ball to him since he was drafted by the niners.
Davis caught a 7-yard pass on a 1st and 10 play near the end of the third quarter . The tight end began walking back to the huddle after the reception, but on the way he took offense to something said by safety Brian Russell, and then proceeded to tap the Seattle defender under his chin.
Officials flagged Davis for an unsportsmanlike penalty, a foul that head coach Mike Singletary might have been able to swallow had it not been for the tight ends reaction when he returned to the sidelines.
He said, What, revealed Singletary.
The lack of owning up for hurting his team rubbed Singletary the wrong way.
"It's something I told players at the beginning of the week," said Singletary. "I will not tolerate players who think it is about them and not the team. We can't make decisions that cost the team, and then come off the sidelines and it's nonchalant. I'd rather play with 10 people and just get penalized all the way until we have to do something else, rather than play with 11, when I know that right now, that person is not sold to be part of the team. It's more about them, than it is the team.
