49ers Reuben Foster ‘needs to find a way to get that rust off’

SANTA CLARA — Reuben Foster looked every bit a play-making, turnover-forcing machine immediately into his rookie training camp last year. Interceptions came daily, along with a fumble or two. His hands were magnets to the football.

“The ball’s got a thing for me. I don’t got a thing for the ball,” Foster quipped back then with his fun-loving smile.

Now, 14 games into his career, Foster has no interceptions, no fumble recoveries and no forced fumbles. He typifies the state of the 49ers defense.
