Chase Young’s Lackluster Effort Raises Concerns: Kyle Shanahan and Fred Warner Share Insights on 49ers’ Run Defense Issues.

Chase Young gained notoriety for his subpar performance during a touchdown run against the Lions, prompting comments from Kyle Shanahan and Fred Warner.

In the NFC championship, the 49ers displayed a disappointing run defense,

contributing significantly to a 17-point halftime deficit.

Defensive coordinator Steve Wilks faced criticism, but the problem extended beyond him.

The team exhibited a lack of effort against the run, notably illustrated by defensive end Chase Young’s failure to pursue on a crucial play.

Kyle Shanahan addressed the issue, acknowledging the unfavorable clip but emphasizing that it doesn’t reflect the team’s overall culture.

He admitted to a couple of lapses in the game but defended the team’s usual commitment and work ethic.

Fred Warner echoed this sentiment, highlighting the importance of personal

accountability and consistency.

He emphasized self-reflection and setting an  example for teammates during practices to avoid similar issues in future games.

While Young wasn’t the sole underperforming player, his actions exemplified the defensive

struggles of the 49ers. The challenges extend beyond defensive schemes; players must execute and give their full effort.

The hope is for improved performance when facing the Chiefs in the upcoming Super Bowl.
