Russell Wilson threw Fred Warner's shoe, triggered Kyle Shanahan's outburst

SANTA CLARA — Kyle Shanahan offered more details as to why he reached his tipping point after officials called defensive offside on his 49ers late in the third quarter of Sunday's 43-16 loss to the Seattle Seahawks.

And Russell Wilson is partially to blame, whether he had intent or not.

“Fred Warner lost his shoe,” Shanahan said Monday of the 49ers' rookie linebacker. “So, he was going to pick it up. When he went to go pick it up, Russell grabbed it and threw it. And so he [Warner] had to go about 8 more yards to pick it up, and that's what he was doing when they went hurry-up offense.
