Accountability seems to be the theme for the 49ers defense this week. On Wednesday, Jimmie Ward said the team held a defense-only meeting. We don’t know what was said at the 49ers hotel Saturday night, but the results suggest whatever was said worked.
Let’s rewind to last week when both Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch called their All-Pro linebacker and newly paid superstar Fred Warner out publicly. Lynch was pretty blunt in saying that Warner is trying to do too much and that he needs to focus on doing his job.
I thought that Lynch’s comments could have stayed in-house.
