Fred Warner, the inside linebacker, only plays in six games with an ankle injury... Now Greenlaw and Fred Warner, two years ago, were the best linebacker tandem in the NFL. So getting Greenlaw back with Warner back, they've got speed.

Fred Warner's return reunites best linebacker tandem with Drake Greenlaw.

Fred Warner is returning to the 49ers after playing in only six games last season due to an ankle injury. Two years ago, Warner and Drake Greenlaw formed the best linebacker tandem in the NFL. With both now healthy and back together, combined with the addition of defensive coordinator Raheem Morris, the 49ers' defense should significantly improve and emerge as one of the best in the NFL.
