San Francisco 49ers training camp practice has featured some back-and-forth trash talk between veteran linebacker Fred Warner and starting quarterback Brock Purdy. When asked about this trash talk on Tuesday, Warner gave a clear response regarding his relationship with Purdy. The competitor that he is.
The confidence that he exudes now to send it back to me — as long as I’m a far enough distance away and I can’t retaliate. No, I’m just kidding," Warner said with a laugh. "At the end of the day I’m trying to create an environment that is as game-like as possible and Brock’s the same way.” 49ers offensive coordinator Klay Kubiak also likes this back-and-forth between these two offensive and defensive leaders.
It’s respect with his teammates, that they can do that and shake hands after," Kubiak said this past weekend. "They can lineup and compete and try to get the best out of each other.” The 49ers will open up their regular-season schedule with a Week 1 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams on Sept. 10.
