Reuben Foster won’t get a soft landing in his first game back with the San Francisco 49ers this Sunday.The 49ers are set to face Patrick Mahomes and a Kansas City Chiefs offense that has scored 38 and 42 points in their first two games of the season. But after missing the first two weeks due to a suspension from offseason arrests for gun and marijuana offenses Kyle Juszczyk Jersey , Foster is giddy with anticipation about getting back on the field.鈥淚t鈥檚 like a holiday, just knowing I can come back and play the game I love,鈥?Foster said, via Matt Maiocco of NBC Bay Area. 鈥淪o I鈥檓 just happy to be playing the cards right and doing good off the field and on the field, and doing nothing off the field so I won鈥檛 be off the field again.鈥滷oster pleaded no contest to a weapons charge in June and had a marijuana charge dropped after completing a diversion course in Alabama. A domestic violence charge was thrown out when the alleged victim recanted her accusations at a hearing in May.Now Foster is back able to play football again after being sidelined the first two weeks. Foster played in 10 games as a rookie as injuries forced to miss a handful of games as a rookie. He recorded 72 tackles in his first season in the NFL last year. With Jimmie Ward down, the 49ers safety-turned-cornerback now switches back to safety." />Skip to main contentclockmenumore-arrownoyesHorizontal - WhiteNiners Nationa San Francisco 49ers communityLog In or Sign UpLog InSign UpFanpostsFanshotsSectionsLibrary49ersOddsShopAboutMastheadCommunity GuidelinesStubHubMoreAll 322 blogs on Horizontal - WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections 49ers Salary CapLevi’s Stadium Events49ers Transactions49ers Injury News49ers Press Conferences & Conference CallsFiled under:49ers offseason workouts Laken Tomlinson Jersey , OTAs, minicampTarvarius Moore has a huge opportunity in front of himNew,114commentsWith Jimmie Ward down, the 49ers safety-turned-cornerback now switches back to safety. PDTShareTweetShareShareTarvarius Moore has a huge opportunity in front of himNo doubt about it, Jimmie Ward going down with a collarbone injury is both not-surprising and a setback. While he’s out, the San Francisco 49ers are putting someone we didn’t expect in the position. Tarvarus Moore was seen in at free safety and it apparently goes further than standing in for the injured Ward. It sounds like Moore might just be a better safety than a cornerback. In a recent article by Matt Maiocco Dee Ford Jersey , assistant defensive backs coach Daniel Bullocks was excited to have Moore on the safety squad. The 49ers of course were drawn in by his impressive 40 time and upon drafting him,wasted no time switching him to cornerback. Whether he was a good cornerback his first year is up to you, but the fact he didn’t see the field until the injury plague swept the team might be telling. He defended two passes, and forced a single fumble in 2018 while playing special teams and cornerback. He started in two games. Pro Football Focus gave him a 52.1 overall grade. PFF broke down a lot of the defensive numbers of Moore in a great article on Friday as well. 2019 has Moore back at safety and it looks like this isn’t a temporary thing either: One of the bigger criticisms leveled at the 49ers in the2019 NFL Draft was their lack of a pick at safety. Many thought they would address the position with free agency or the draft but the 49ers went in other directions. Jimmie Ward has gone back and forth between nickel corner and safety much of his career. It might have had a detriment on his growth, but his injury history wasn’t helping either. Despite his flip-flopping He’s been decent at both when healthy, but thats been the problem: his health and he’s been unable to start a full 16-game season because of it (he has played 16 games Kwon Alexander Jersey , but not a starting in all of them). The 49ers brought him back on a one-year deal, mindful of his injury history, but $3 million is still $3 million and if Ward manages to play a full season with some solid numbers, that number and contract length is only going to get larger. Moore, on the other hand, is going into his second season in the NFL and therefore is on a much cheaper contract than Ward. He’s coming with a cap hit of $799 Mike McGlinchey Jersey ,093. He has a huge opportunity to impress and that contract figure is an advantage if he can do the most with his opportunity. Not only can he beat out Ward for a starting job, but economically if the difference in ability is Ward by a small margin, the 49ers could elect to go with the cheaper option. Plus, there’s development. If he shows enough that the 49ers keep him at free safety this year, he wouldn't’ need to be a starter or beat Ward. He’d just need to show improvement that the 49ers could justify starting him next year.They got their starter for 2020 and a need filled. Moore still could be going back to cornerback when training camp arrives. He’d be up against Jason Verrett, Richard Sherman Dante Pettis Jersey , Ahkello Witherspoon and others. That seems like a tougher pack to rise above than the safety group. And sure, that unit has its own injury problems. Despite his injury history, Verrett may be considered more ‘proven’ than Ward is as well. This is a huge opportunity for Moore. If he can use that flashy speedto go deep and bring some punishing hits along with it, the 49ers may have a cheaper (and hopefully more durable) option at safety for either now or 2020 at the latest.Let’s see what he can do.
