How will the 49ers defense bounce back this week?

Members of the 49ers' defense have talked the talk after last week’s debacle against the Raiders, but will they walk the walk this weekend?

After their worst defensive performance since October, both Nick Bosa and Fred Warner expressed gratitude for having received a wake-up call from backup quarterback Jarrett Stidham.

“As much as I hate to say that we needed this,” Warner said after the game, “Adversity makes you stronger. We’re as tough as they come. We’re going to take a hard look at it, and we’ll be better from it.”

Their first chance to prove it is on Sunday against the Cardinals’ fourth quarterback of the year, David Blough.
