49ersâ tough reaction to Seahawks twisting Deebo Samuelâs leg
Deebo Samuel is one of the best wide receivers nowadays in the NFL. Heâs very talented, which of course gives a headache to therivalsâ defense, which sometimes shows desperation while playing against him.
On a third-and-7 situation during the third quarter, thisdesperation arrived to the Leviâs Stadium. After a 21-yard gainfor San Francisco, Johnathan Abraham, Seahawksâ defensive end, appeared to twist Deebo Samuelâs legafter the tackle, but there was no flag on the play.
âI think anger kind of took over,â tight end George Kittle said. âI donât know why youâd â first off, excuse my language â why would you wanna piss off Deebo. If youâre going to do that to him, youâre just going to piss off Trent Williams, whoâs one of the scariest people on the football field. Youâre going to fire up our defense, gonna get our entire team fired up. I donât know what the point of that is. It should have been a flag, in my opinion, but it is what it is. They gave us another reason to flip the switch even higher. I think thatâs what we did. I donât think we need an excuse to flip that switch. That definitely influenced us to play a little bit angrier.â
