What the 49ers are saying after losing to the Buccaneers

The ers couldn t overcome their season-long injury issues Sunday as they fell in Tampa to the Buccaneers - Fred Warner went down with a gruesome ankle injury in the first quarter leaving the defense without its vocal leader in the middle The offense settled for a quartet of field goals from Eddy Pi eiro alongside Christian McCaffrey s first rushing touchdown of the season The Bucs had two rushing scores and Baker Mayfield passed for two more going -of- for yards Mac Jones starting again for Brock Purdy did not match Mayfield the ultimate top pick-turned-backup-turned starter again a discipline Jones is seeking to chart as the ers second-stringer He completed of passes for yards but had no touchdowns and two interceptions being sacked six times and fumbling once Jauan Jennings returned to the lineup but only had one catch for seven yards while Kendrick Bourne led the Niners with yards on five receptions McCaffrey topped yards with on the ground and receiving Here s what the ers leaders disclosed postgame Kyle Shanahan On Warner s injury Dislocated I think it broke too So he ll end up having surgery On the impact of losing Warner It s big Anytime you lose one of your best players also a huge leader it s obviously a huge blow I feel bad for Fred right now He was in good spirits though He s got a good foundation I ve got a lot of faith in Tatum Bethune and he s the next man up He s going to have to do it throughout the year On his animated discussion with Jennings Just intense competitive conversation between two people at the end of the second quarter but we were all good On moving past an injury in-game It s an NFL competition You got to move on So I m sure they re crushed for him and everyone not just the linebackers but everyone on our association feels for Fred But that s football You saw how emotional everyone was when they saw him down on both sides But once that s over everyone s got a job to do On injuries to the stars Everyone knows it s challenging when you lose your better players your leaders It s huge with Nick obviously huge with Fred Hopefully we get Kittle back here and specific of the other guys But I mean that s going to give opportunities to other guys and these are moments guys got to step it up On Jauan Jennings Bad ankles various issues with his ribs Hasn t had chosen full-speed practices I was pumped that he was able to go the present day but he s struggling to go every week now On Kameron Johnson s touchdown We had a bust on the motion Someone dropped him and that s why he was all alone On Tez Johnson s touchdown Down the middle single safety Baker looked him off and threw a post Shouldn t be able to give up a post in single safety and our middle-third guy got out of position Baker made a hell of a play Mac Jones On his oblique and knee injuries I feel good Nothing serious Everyone s dealing with stuff and I just really want to get back out there at practice and see what I can do better On Warner s injury He s been the leader of this crew for a long time so really all you can do is just pray for him and know that we have his back I was disappointed that I didn t play better for him in the modern day On the early interception targeting Kendrick Bourne It s a heavy pressure association so we have to just be more keyed in together KB and I we have a great connection and we just weren t on the same page on that one On moving past the loss It s early in the year We re not a bad football group We just need to flip the switch and get ready for next week and get particular guys back and be positive about it honestly On Jennings playing through injury He didn t have to play in this challenge and he chose to He fought through specific stuff and he s a fighter and that s the DNA of our group his personality Really love him He did a good job We missed on a limited things but it wasn t our day and hopefully we have a lot of good days ahead On facing the Buccaneers defense I ve gone against Todd Bowles a minimal times and whether it s preseason or a really big event he s going to bring a different play on every play So they did a good job They had our number at present Christian McCaffrey On Warner s injury It s just heartbreaking It s such a weird championship when you have to see somebody like that what happened with Bosa earlier this year and then just have to continue to play It s kind of a weird deal but it s heartbreaking He s one of the best players I ve ever played with and one of the best leaders I ve ever played with On his tournament We ll have to look at that tape I m dependably my biggest critic so we ll see if it was a prosperous encounter or not But I think there was supposedly specific plays that I maybe want back On looking ahead to several offensive players returning from injury Just having more depth and having specific guys come back with fresh vigor that s a big deal JAUAN JENNINGS On Warner s postgame talk Fred came and talked to us after the battle Lifted us up Next-man mentality trying to have his back I was personally nauseous I had to take chosen nauseous medicine It just made me sick to my stomach We ve got to still drive the boat Captain s gonna lead the way and everybody else is going to step up On Shanahan sideline spat Oh man you have to ask him You had to ask him On his wellbeing Playing with injuries is part of it You ve got high low ankle sprains You ve got shoulder percent You ve got five broken ribs You keep playing Nobody cares You keep playing It s football I love pain I wouldn t be playing this sport if I didn t On Warner He s one of guys who led this group year in year out His words of encouragement before every competition To know how much that guy loves the competition it s very sad and it makes me sick to my stomach TRENT WILLIAMS On offensive reinforcements We have a few really good players that we look to get back That can only help if we get more weapons in the fold On Warner s exit It s heartbreaking I mean Fred is not only one of the best linebackers to ever play this event he s the heart and soul of this crew not just the heart and soul of this defense It s one thing to see somebody go down and go to the blue tent and nobody really knows what s going on When you see a guy injured like that it really is a gut punch and it s truly really hard to continue the intensity and playing that championship like that never happened You never get used to that You see one of your really good friends and someone you have genuine love for and you see him having to get carted off it s an emotional experience On postgame talk Fred will never let you see him down Even in the midst of what he s going through he required to address the unit He s that type of guy I ll continue to play for him and hope he has a speedy recovery On penalty after interception in fourth quareter Just talking trash Frustrated Just mixing it up
