Fred Warner is part of an elite defense, a unit that could once again end up being the best in the NFL. However, when the San Francisco 49ers offense is on the field during games, the star linebacker can't help but feel like a fan in the stands.
"People probably think that we are busy talking about scheme and looking at iPads, but in reality, I'm sitting there, I'm glued, watching the field when the offense is out there," Warner admitted to Mark Willard and Dan Dibley on 95.7 The Game. "They're as fun to watch as any offense, I think, in the league. You talk about the star power, the skill, the talent at each skill position."
That star power includes playmakers like running back
Christian McCaffrey, tight end
George Kittle, and wide receivers
Deebo Samuel and
Brandon Aiyuk. Samuel may not be able to go against the Arizona Cardinals this weekend, but the 49ers offense is so loaded that it may be able to overcome his absence.
There is no shortage of talent on either side of the football. And there is something familiar in the way the 49ers offense plays. They can be just as ferocious as the highly-regarded defense.
"But more than anything, I think the mentality at which we play the game on both sides of the ball, all three phases, but especially on the offensive side, emphasizing the run game," Warner continued. "The way that all our players block, the way all our players run the football, run it through contact,
it's going to take more than one person to bring me down. We're finishing all our blocks. Everything that they do on that side is so fun to watch.
"And when you're watching that side of the football and knowing that they take it just as serious and they want it just as much as you do on your side, that's how you know you got a good football team. And we're going to continue to grow and get better and do the things necessary to be our best."

George Kittle says Brock Purdy lifts 49ers offense; Eager for Eagles game
Tight end George Kittle values the presence of Brock Purdy in the San Francisco 49ers' huddle. The quarterback has played efficiently, contributing to the team's three consecutive wins following a costly October slump.
Purdy is on track to become the first 49ers quarterback to surpass 4,000 passing yards since Jeff Garcia did so in 2000. In fact, his projected 4,437 yards would set a franchise record.
"I think I can speak for everybody on our offense, we're continually impressed with the things that Brock does all the time," Kittle told Jim Rome on Tuesday. "His consistency every single day, the relationship that he's built with all of our skilled players, all the guys that he gets the ball to, it's pretty amazing. And we all feel that [comfort] with
