Youth Mike Person jersey , Sunday starting ILB duo still TBD The San Francisco 49ers return to practice on Wednesday, and they will be welcoming back some notable players. Reuben Foster’s suspension is over, and he is expected to be a full go at practice. Additionally, Kyle Shanahan announced that Malcolm Smith would be a full participant as well.Smith missed the first two weeks with a hamstring injury, and until last Friday was a DNP at practice. He got in a limited session on Friday http://www.49ersauthorizedshops.com/authentic-adrian-colbert-jersey , but was inactive on Sunday. The team signed Terence Garvin last week after Brock Coyle went on injured reserve, but his time might be short if Smith returns to action this weekend.Shanahan said on Wednesday that Foster appears good to go in his return from the suspension. The big question on Wednesday was who would start next to him. Shanahan said he wouldn’t reveal the plan even if he knew, but he also wanted to be clear that the coaching staff did not know yet the plan for Sunday. They will go through three practices, and then decisions will be made.Even if Smith is a full participant all week, it feels like Fred Warner has justified a significant role. We could also see some rotation with Smith handling run down work and Warner in for passing down work. I would guess that is how this shakes out when Smith is healthy enough to play.Golden Nuggets: Is Shanahan the new genius in town Our offense has had a few good plays and a few missed opportunities but they have not looked very consistent. During Jimmy G’s starts last year Brock Coyle jersey , it felt like the 49ers had a good chance to do something big on almost every offensive play. There was energy and expectations I had not seen since the ‘90s. Unfortunately, I haven’t felt that same energy the first two weeks of this season.Some people are blaming Jimmy Garoppolo. He has hung onto the ball too long, he is not seeing the open receiver, he is staring down his intended receiver and he is not making good decisions is just some of the accusations I have read on Niners Nation.Some people are blaming the receivers not getting open and some are blaming the offensive line while others look to the Jerrick McKinnon injury for being the blame for our sluggish start.My question is, why are people so unwilling to blame the head coach and offensive coordinator? Most of them get extremely defensive the moment you mention anything about him being held accountable. Holding the coach accountable has become synonymous with saying he is a bad coach and I am not sure why? If you really think Kyle Shanahan is a great coach Authentic Richard Sherman jersey , why are you being so insecure that no one can question anything he says or does?It is up to Kyle Shanahan to fix what is wrong with the team. If that means bringing in new players, coaching up the ones he has or changing the game plan to get the most out of his players, that is what he is there for. Good or bad, he is ultimately responsible for the team come game day.Now you might think I am getting down on Kyle Shanahan and you are partially right but it is because of my faith and respect in his coaching abilities that I hold him to such a high standard. I think he has the ability to make the changes we need to be more consistent. Players are not executing at the level he has demanded and opposing coaches have spent time during the off season to plan defensive coverages to slow the 49ers offense down. I have little doubt Shanahan will respond. He is way too smart when it comes to coaching tactics not to. I anxiously am looking forward to see what he comes up with against the Kansas City Chiefs.I sincerely believe Shanahan is the answer to making the whole offense look better. I believe he is also intelligent enough to make some subtle changes that can make Jimmy G’s life easier on game day. It took Matt Ryan two training camps to get Shanahan’s offense down and he was a seasoned veteran quarterback. Perhaps Shanahan might have fed Jimmy Garoppolo too much detail too early? I don’t know? I do know Kyle has a great supporting cast when it comes to breaking down game film and looking for the edge needed to be competitive. Don’t be surprised if the offense looks a little more consistent this week.On another note, Baker Mayfield looked pretty good tonight. He looked like he deserved to be the first pick in the draft.Now onto the hot links:How the 49ers can beat the ChiefsGrant CohnCoaches Youth Weston Richburg jersey , teammates backing Ahkello Witherspoon after poor performanceBrad AlmquistJoe Staley picks his one 49ers career roster undoDavid BonillaWhy not trade for Josh Gordon? 49ers’ John Lynch explainsEric BranchFoster says return from suspension is like celebrating holidayMatt MaioccoFoster and Sherman bond as 49ers locker neighborsChris BidermanJohn Lynch: Why 49ers didn’t aggressively pursue Josh GordonDavid Bonilla49ers’ Richard Sherman misses practices with heel injuryEric BranchThree safeties getting extra reps with Jaquiski Tartt injuredKyle MadsonWhat are the Chiefs Saying about the 49ers?Kelana MartinErrors by young 49ers WRs highlight challenges of Shanahan’s system Eric BranchRichard Sherman after watching Steelers defense vs. Chiefs: ‘I think they made it way too complicated’David BonillaRichard Sherman believes Ahkello Witherspoon will ‘respond well’ after rough outingDavid Bonilla49ers RB Matt Breida named the FedEx Ground Player of the WeekDavid BonillaChiefs receivers love their new offenseMike Florio
