Deebo Samuel had a tough outing throughout Thursday night time’s sport towards the Los Angeles Rams.
Earlier within the week, Samuel had publicly called for more targets, writing on X (previously Twitter) in a since-deleted submit, “Not struggling in any respect simply not getting the ball!!!!!!!” whereas responding to criticism that his manufacturing was down in 2024.
On Thursday, the 49ers tried to amend issues early, sending the very first move of the sport to Samuel. He dropped it.
The issues escalated dramatically within the third quarter when Brock Purdy hit Samuel on a crossing route proper on the cash. Samuel appeared like he was house free, with a positive first down and what appeared like loads of house to achieve the tip zone.
However he dropped it once more.
Loud boos rained down from the stands at Levi’s Stadium.
On the sideline after the play, Samuel was clearly pissed off with the drop.
Whereas the drop would have harm regardless, it was particularly painful coming simply after Samuel’s public name for extra targets.
Heading into the fourth quarter, the 49ers maintain a 6–3 lead over the Rams. There’s nonetheless time for Samuel to show issues round and make one heroic play, however for now, followers are left wanting much more from his efficiency.
