Stopping the run is – DJ Khaled voice – a major key for the San Francisco 49ers defense this week.
Jimmie Ward, who said he expects to be suited up for the first time in three weeks at home against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, made that abundantly clear when speaking with the media.
“We need to make them one dimensional,” the third-year pro said. “Stop the run, point blank. Period."
Ward has been sidelined with a quadriceps injury that he sustained while covering a kick in a Week 3 road loss to the Seattle Seahawks.
