Leading the way Marysville was for J.B.
Witherspoon (the Seahawks targeted him last game) and rookies D.J. Jones, D.J. Reed and Marcell Harris, who all earned an encore start after last Sunday.
Leading tackler Fred Warner offered this scouting report on the Seahawks’ other top backs: Chris Carson is “a workhorse, physical, hits the edge”, and former 49er Mike Davis is “reliable.”
Wagner’s impact. Richard Sherman called exteammate Bobby Wagner “the best linebacker in football for at least five years, and I don’t think he ever gets enough credit.” Well, Wagner has made All-pro honors the past four years, and he absolutely crushed the 49ers last meeting, from stripping Jeff Wilson Jr. of the ball at the Seahawks 5 to returning an interception
