Good morning folks Customized San Francisco 49ers Jerseys , unfortunately, that time of the season is upon us when we’ve got our first Sunday of football sans 49ers. Like many of you fine people, I’ve put off many Sunday projects over the past several weeks, and finally, the day has come where I have no legitimate excuse to avoid doing them. I’d love to tell you about the wonderful* slate of games scheduled for tomorrow, but, frankly, I don’t know what they are. I’ve got stuff to build, and my fantasy football season is akin to a plastic bag floating aimlessly in the wind until week 8 when Le’Veon Bell returns. The 49ers finished their week of practice yesterday, and the injury report, while shorter than it had appeared earlier in the week, remains saturated with offensive linemen, and in a new development, wide receivers. Linemen Joe Staley, Weston Richburg, and Mike Person remain questionable to play on Monday after the trio were all on a limited basis on Saturday’s practice. However, the WR group is showing up all over the injured list - Dante Pettis remains out www.sanfrancisco49ersteamonline.com , Trent Taylor has missed every practice this week and is optimistically considered doubtful, and Pierre Garcon is listed as questionable. Fortunately, Marquise Goodwin has since returned as a full participant and is expected to be available for Monday, after a murky several weeks suffering with a deep thigh bruise.In other news, Chris Biderman, now of the Sac Bee, has officially jumped the shark. Ladies and/or gentlemen, we’ve got the first technical 2019 offseason preview that I’ve read so far this year. I’m not talking about the “wAy ToO eArLy 2o19 MoCk!” that gets published 45 minutes after the first round of the draft ends, either, folks. Biderman has thrown in the towel, and he’s already preparing for free agency & mock draft season. I know things look bad now, but a 12-4 season finish is a mere 11 game winning streak away. Keep the faith!Saturday injury report | Maiocco, NBC Sports Bay Area | Biderman, Sac Bee | Madson, NinerswireYoung WRs to get more snaps with injured starters | Maiocco, NBC Sports Bay AreaK’Waun WIlliams hit with $20k fine for roughing the passer | Maiocco, NBC Sports Bay AreaRichard Sherman doesn’t see youth as an excuse | Almquist San Francisco 49ers T-Shirt , KNBRA look ahead at the 2019 offseason | Biderman, Sac BeeMatt Breida put together a huge Week 2 performance It was a heck of a performance for San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida in Week 2 against the Detroit Lions. He only rushed 11 times, but he finished the game with 138 rushing yards, and another 21 receiving yards.The highlight of the day came on his 66-yard touchdown run. It was a basic stretch play to the right, but once he got past the defensive line and linebackers, a cut-back to the left brought him behind wide receiver Pierre Gar莽on. The 49ers receiver got a block on Lions cornerback Nevin Lawson, and effectively blocked him for 40 yards until Breida reached the end zone.We’ll have more on what Gar莽on had to say about the block, but props to Breida for showing patience to let that develop and get to the end zone.Breida had a strong game beyond just the touchdown run. If you remove that run, he still averaged 7.2 yards per carry. It was a strong enough performance that he is currently the leading rusher across the league with 184 yards. Chicago Bears running back Jordan Howard currently has 82 yards, so a 103 yards against the Seattle Seahawks on Monday Night Football would give him the lead.Even with that strong performance, the 49ers stuck with their running back platoon. Morris had three more carries on the afternoon than Breida. Breida ran in his touchdown with 52 seconds left in the third quarter. Over the final quarter, Alfred Morris had seven carries and Breida had one carry and one target (the interception that was called back due to defensive holding).It seems unlikely we’ll see a change anytime soon. Breida made a solid contribution in Week 1, with 46 yards at a 4.2 ypc clip. The 49ers face a trash Chiefs defense this weekend, but they also could find themselves in a shootout if they struggle to contain Patrick Mahomes. I have to think the 49ers will work to control the time of possession and keep the Chiefs offense off the field. The split will probably continue, but will we at some point see Breida emerge as the go-to guy?
