Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch both spoke to the media Thursday and discussed star linebacker, Fred Warner. Through the first half of the season, many believe Warner has disappointed.
Warner is on pace to have more tackles than he did in 2020. He also has six tackles for loss this season compared to eight all of 2020. He’s even missing fewer tackles,, as evidenced by his broken tackle rate of 3.8% compared to 6.7% in 2020.
So, what gives? Warner isn’t making anywhere near the number of plays in the passing game. When I say that, I don’t mean pass breakups.
