00:05Wide receivers, Dubsy.

00:06Yeah.

00:07Squeaky wheel gets the oil here.

00:08They want the football.

00:09Me, Dubsy.

00:10When I was in college, I always

00:11wanted the football.

00:12The good part about my team is

00:13we were usually down every

00:14single fourth quarter for most

00:15of the time.

00:16And that's when I used to eat

00:17and get the football.

00:18But even if you are winning or

00:19losing, NFL wide receivers want

00:20to be involved.

00:21We're talking about Debo

00:22Samuel.

00:23One of the most productive wide

00:24receivers over the past five to

00:25six years.

00:26A big paycheck guy who wants to

00:27live up to the hype and just

00:28goes.

00:30It's not me.

00:31I'm just not getting the

00:32football.

00:33Now, Dubs, when I watch 49er

00:34games, Debo doesn't look the

00:35same.

00:36Doesn't look as fast.

00:37Maybe looks a little bit more

00:38puffy out there if you get the

00:39drift as if he might have gained

00:40some weight and just is a little

00:41bit more sluggish.

00:42But he says it's not his fault.

00:43I just want the football, Dubsy.

00:44Is that the case in San

00:45Francisco?

00:46And look, Donnie, I got to put

00:47you up there.

00:48I've also I've also dealt with

00:49the same problem.

00:50It's called putting on muscle,

00:51Donnie.

00:52It's called putting on muscle.

00:53It's not that winter coat, if

00:54you know what I'm saying.

00:55But it's not that.

00:56It's not that.

00:57It's not that winter coat, if

00:58you know what I'm saying.

00:59But he is.

01:00Yeah.

01:01He is struggling.

01:02You know, Debo told us, I'm not

01:03struggling.

01:04I'm just not seeing the rock.

01:05I'm not getting the ball.

01:06No, he looks like he's missing

01:07that first step.

01:08And that can be the difference

01:09between being wide open or being

01:11shut down on a various amount of

01:13plays there.

01:14So it hasn't been good for the

01:1549ers in battling with injury.

01:16For Debo Samuel, he sounded off

01:19and rightfully so there, Donnie.

01:20And, you know, it's easy for me

01:22to sit here and give the wide

01:23receivers a hard time.

01:24But there's incentives towards a

01:26lot of their contracts.

01:27You know, once it's all said and

01:29done at the end of a pretty

01:30mediocre year for the 49ers, if

01:33they're not to go on and make it

01:34through to the playoffs, Debo is

01:36going to be saying, well, I

01:37didn't hit my my target share.

01:38But right now they're trying

01:40everything. They are just trying

01:41to win football games.

01:42And they got a very tough

01:43assignment coming up against the

01:45Rams on deck there.

01:46So I think they'll take a bit of

01:47confidence away from what we saw

01:49over Chinatown, over Chicago.

01:52Debo Samuel, when when he is

01:54singing, when he is on, he is one

01:55of the most electric weapons

01:57in the NFL.

01:58But we just haven't seen that and

02:00we haven't seen the same team

02:02outfit chemistry from the 49ers.

02:04So I think it's just a sign of the

02:05times that we haven't had the same

02:07kind of cohesion that we saw at

02:08this point of the year last year

02:10for San Francisco.

02:11So right now it's not a

02:13case of, you know, you've got to

02:15put up with how it's playing out,

02:16but you have a bit of patience

02:18there, my guy Debo.

02:19You guys are trying to turn it

02:20around and it starts week by week

02:22and by him getting a bit more

02:24rock, maybe that's going to open

02:25things up.
