For whatever reason San Francisco 49ers Hats ,.The latest chapter came Sunday when Earl Thomas broke his leg in a 20-17 win.Seattle's star free safety fractured the tibia in his left leg in a collision with Arizona wide receiver Chad Williams with nine minutes to play. It was nearly an identical injury to the one Thomas sustained in 2016 when he collided with teammate Kam Chancellor in a game against the Carolina Panthers.The stadium in Glendale, Arizona, has turned into a house of horrible memories for the Seahawks, and the Super Bowl loss to New England is just one of the miserable moments for Seattle.Former running back Marshawn Lynch extended a middle finger to the Seahawks sideline in Arizona in 2013 to express his displeasure with offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell's play-calling. There was the unsightly 6-6 tie during the 2016 season. And there was Malcolm Butler's interception of Russell Wilson at the goal line to deny Seattle a second-straight Lombardi Trophy.In addition to Thomas' injury, Chancellor and Richard Sherman each saw his tenure with the Seahawks end because of injuries sustained in a game in Arizona last November. Chancellor sustained a neck injury that has kept him from continuing his career while Sherman tore his Achilles tendon and was released this offseason.Now there is the image of Thomas leaving the field on a cart with a middle finger extended toward his sideline in what could end up being his final game with the Seahawks.The Legion of Boom all went bust in the desert."I don't know where to put that," coach Pete Carroll said. "It's kind of uncanny that it's happened like that."The loss of Thomas throws second-year safety Tedric Thompson into the spotlight. Thompson was the starter through most of the preseason when Thomas was holding out and has seen plenty of playing time in the first month as Seattle has used a mix of defenses featuring three safeties."We're excited about Tedric's play and he's been playing quite a bit in the dime group that we've been playing, so he's been on the field a lot, so it's nothing new for him to get out there San Francisco 49ers Hoodie ," Carroll said.But Thompson isn't Thomas — at least not yet — and his likely first start is set to come against the most potent offense in the NFL when the Los Angeles Rams visit on Sunday."I don't see it replacing Earl Thomas," Carroll said. "He's a great football player and has demonstrated that for a long period of time and had probably — what we both acknowledged — his best start of any season he could recall. It's next guy up. This is not Earl coming back. This is Tedric playing the game. He is going the best he can in the way he plays."49ers tackling issues continued in Chiefs loss So beyond a decision on whether or not to step out of bounds, one of the more disturbing nuances to come out of Week 3’s loss to the Chiefs was the 49ers tackling ability, or lack thereof. The defense at large had difficulty wrapping up at best and absolute whiffs at worst. We aren’t even going into how Chiefs running backs could moonwalk into the endzone. This isn’t a single game problem. According to Pro Football Focus, the 49ers have 43 missed tackles thus far, the most in the league. So now it’s not a player or a game problem, it’s a defense problem. The 49ers had 17 missed tackles against the Chiefs, and ten of them were split between Reuben Foster (6) and Fred Warner (4). Those are linebackers. Two of which fans hope can be the future. Linebackers are put on the field to tackle.The Athletic’s David Lombardi put some great context behind all of this: While the Raiders are getting laughed at Customized San Francisco 49ers Jerseys , they at least get single digit missed tackles, the 49ers have had double digits every game. So what gives? We’ll have more on the tackling issues in a film breakdown, but a couple points of note: 1) It was Reuben Foster’s first game back. Last year, he had 10 missed tackles the entire season, so hopefully this is a case of being over-eager in his return, and 2) Fred Warner is a rookie still learning the ropes, and he is still been a run-stopping machine, with 17 of his 26 tackles being stops.Defensive coordinator Robert Saleh acknowledged the issue last week www.authenticssanfrancisco49ers.com , saying it had to deal with angles. This will no doubt come up again in a future press conference, and it will be interesting to hear what he’s doing to address what is clearly a big problem with the defense. Whatever the issue is, the 49ers will need to clean things up before the Los Angeles Chargers game on Sunday. The offense has C.J. Beathard behind center and while things could be worse, there is going to be an awful lot to ask of the defense so things don’t go completely off the rails.
