Fred Warner calls 49ers’ loss to Cardinals ‘embarrassing’ and ‘unacceptable’

“Our defense is based on not giving up explosives, so we didn’t do our job,” defensive lineman Arik Armstead said. “They got too many explosives, and explosives lead to points. We didn’t make them earn it. We didn’t make them drive the ball. And you have to earn points. They got big chunk plays, which led to scores, which is not what our defense is about. And if we don’t eliminate explosives, we’re not going to be successful. So, I would sum it up as not good.”
