Gästebuch » After Richard Sherman signed his contract with the

San Francisco 49ers the very first place Sherman went was to Reuben Foster’s court appearance to support his teammate. It was Foster’s first appearance after being charged with three felonies including one of domestic violence. Sherman was brought onboard to be a mentor-like figure to the very young 49ers defensive squad and lived up to that with Foster https://www.49ersfanshop.com/Adrian-Colbert-Jersey , “supporting a teammate.” The two would form a bond, with Sherman having a locker next to Foster and the two having one-on-one time every day. That bond may not be broken, but the leadership Sherman has shown will come to an end with the recent Foster arrest and subsequent release. Foster will now be on his own.“I was disappointed, I think everybody is,” Sherman said during his post game press conference with the media, after the 49ers lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 27-9. “He’s a great kid, it’s unfortunate that this situation keeps coming up. I’m sorry to hear that it happened, but you just wish the best for the kid.” Sherman noted the players were not aware of what happened the night before, saying bed-check happened at 10:30 P.M. They were notified of the news the next day, with many players waking up to it. Sherman was quick to point out that even with the arrest, Foster had been making improvement. Even with his less than desirable upbringing, Foster showed progress. Sherman brought up the frequent moves, lack of parental guidance, and that despite it all, Foster managed a scholarship to Alabama and a path to the NFL.“It’s tough to develop the skills that you need to make your way in the world and he was doing that. I think Austin Moss was doing a great job—our player engagement—and John [49ers general manager John Lynch] and Kyle [49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan] and everybody was doing their part to make sure he stayed on the right track.He was working hard, he knew his deficiencies, he knew what he had to do and it’s unfortunate that this situation keeps coming up.”And it all now comes to an end. The 49ers traded up into the end of the first round to draft Foster with the 31st pick of the 2017 NFL Draft. Foster came with character concerns and issues on a surgically repaired shoulder, but lit the field up his rookie year Dante Pettis Jersey , showing loads of promise. Not even two years later and the 49ers first round pick has been released. “I think it’s what they had to do,” Sherman said when asked about the 49ers organization’s handling of the situation. “ I think the organization has handled the situation as best they could. Obviously have been patient, and deliberate and trusting and understanding of who Reuben is and what kind of heart he has, but it’s really a compromising situation to put the team in repeatedly.” Foster will hit waivers and if no claims are made by 1:00 PM PST Monday, he becomes a free agent, available to sign to any team. In the meantime, the former 49ers linebacker will be subject to a legal investigation once again, as well as discipline under the NFL’s personal conduct policy. If not claimed off waivers, the 49ers would carry $3,678,954 in dead money this year and $2,355,660 in dead money next year.We don’t yet know fully what happened in the hotel that led to the police being called. We have an affidavit of allegations levied by the alleged victim. This alleged victim recanted previous allegations against Foster during the offseason. We still don’t fully know what happened then as well, leaving us with a situation in which we likely will never full know the facts of either situation.After Sunday’s game, Sherman said, “I’m not going to speak on what happened [Saturday evening], because I don’t know what happened.” This followed John Lynch’s own comments that he was not going to speak to what specifically happened Saturday evening. Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan both said the release was not a comment specifically on the domestic violence arrest, but rather Jimmy Garoppolo Color Rush Jersey , “a comment on him not living up to what we had communicated” regarding rules put in place after his previous two offseason arrests. SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — When Kyle Shanahan was up for a head coaching job in the NFL two offseasons ago, he had one of his interviews in a very familiar place.Shanahan met with Denver general manager John Elway for about four hours to interview for a job his dad, Mike, held for 14 seasons, helping Elway and the Broncos win a pair of Super Bowl titles.Elway ended up giving the job to Vance Joseph in 2017 and Shanahan got hired by the San Francisco 49ers instead in what he believes is a better spot to make his imprint.“I’d like to say I made the decision pretty hard on them. I’d like to think that,” Shanahan said. “I didn’t think I had much chance before. I definitely am happy where I am, and I think it’s definitely a better situation not being there with my dad. Also, that’s my wife’s home. That’s my home. I enjoy going back there to visit, but I like living where I’m at.”Shanahan now gets the chance to coach against the franchise he spent so much time around as a kid when the 49ers (2-10) host the Broncos (6-6) on Sunday.Shanahan has plenty of memories from his time in Denver, especially being the “cord boy” in Denver’s 1998 Super Bowl win over Green Bay when he held the cords for his father on the sideline.“After that Green Bay Super Bowl, they went wireless the next year,” Shanahan said. “I think they only won one more because they didn’t have as good of a cord-holder, is what I always tell my dad.”Here are some other things to watch:UNDRAFTED GEMSTwo of the three undrafted quarterbacks to start a game in the NFL this season will square off on Sunday.Denver’s Case Keenum entered the league as an undrafted free agent in Houston in 2012 and emerged as a top-flight starter last year in Minnesota. He signed with the Broncos this year and has the team in position for a playoff run.San Francisco’s Nick Mullens entered the league last year as an undrafted free agent and was finally promoted from the practice squad in September after Jimmy Garoppolo went down with a season-ending knee injury in Week 3. Mullens has started four games and has the fifth-most yards passing since the merger in his first four career games with 1,147.“Being an undrafted guy, I’ve kind of, I guess you could say done some research on different guys’ paths and how they’ve made it, how they’ve stuck around in the NFL https://www.49ersfanshop.com/Fred-Warner-Jersey ,” Mullens said. “He’s definitely a guy that I’ve looked at his path, see how he’s gone. He’s a great quarterback.”UNDRAFTED GEMS PART 2Both teams will also feature undrafted starting running backs as well. Denver’s Phillip Lindsay has 1,126 yards from scrimmage this season, joining Dominic Rhodes (1,328), Clark Gaines (1,124) and LeGarrette Blount (1,021) as the only undrafted rookies to reach 1,000 yards from scrimmage.San Francisco’s Jeff Wilson gets his first start in place of another undrafted gem, Matt Breida, who is out with an ankle injury. Wilson rushed for 61 yards on 15 carries and caught eight passes for 73 yards in his most extensive action last week and is familiar with Lindsay as another undrafted player.“You know who the guys are,” Wilson said. “I know he’s a great back. He’s one of the best ones to me.”INJURY BUGThe Broncos got a tough break this week when leading receiver Emmanuel Sanders went down with a torn left Achilles tendon in practice on Wednesday. Sanders led the team with 71 catches for 868 yards and four touchdowns in a bounce-back year. His injury comes three days after star cornerback Chris Harris Jr. broke his leg, leaving the Broncos without seven starters from the opening-day lineup.“We can’t cry about it,” Joseph said. “We have to move on and go play a football game on Sunday.”SEARCHING FOR TAKEAWAYSThe 49ers are closing in on a record for ineptitude when it comes to causing turnovers. Their five takeaways through 12 games are the fewest ever at this point in the season, lowering the previous mark of seven by Jacksonville in 2016.San Francisco needs six takeaways in the final four games to avoid setting the mark of 11 for fewest ever in a non-strike season, last done by Chicago in 2016.
