We’ve harped on the lack of accountability and leadership in the 49ers locker room this season. But, unfortunately, there’s no Joe Staley or Richard Sherman or veteran that’s “been there” to show the rest of the team how it’s done.
Safety Jimmie Ward was on KNBR Wednesday morning. He said the defensive captains — Ward, Fred Warner, and Arik Armstead — held a defense-only team meeting Saturday night at the team hotel to lay out the way forward. Ward said that he believed the meeting mattered.
Based on the results Monday night, it’s tough to argue with Ward.
