Wide receivers, Dubsy.
00:06
Yeah.
00:07
Squeaky wheel gets the oil here.
00:08
They want the football.
00:09
Me, Dubsy.
00:10
When I was in college, I always
00:11
wanted the football.
00:12
The good part about my team is
00:13
we were usually down every
00:14
single fourth quarter for most
00:15
of the time.
00:16
And that's when I used to eat
00:17
and get the football.
00:18
But even if you are winning or
00:19
losing, NFL wide receivers want
00:20
to be involved.
00:21
We're talking about Debo
00:22
Samuel.
00:23
One of the most productive wide
00:24
receivers over the past five to
00:25
six years.
00:26
A big paycheck guy who wants to
00:27
live up to the hype and just
00:28
goes.
00:30
It's not me.
00:31
I'm just not getting the
00:32
football.
00:33
Now, Dubs, when I watch 49er
00:34
games, Debo doesn't look the
00:35
same.
00:36
Doesn't look as fast.
00:37
Maybe looks a little bit more
00:38
puffy out there if you get the
00:39
drift as if he might have gained
00:40
some weight and just is a little
00:41
bit more sluggish.
00:42
But he says it's not his fault.
00:43
I just want the football, Dubsy.
00:44
Is that the case in San
00:45
Francisco?
00:46
And look, Donnie, I got to put
00:47
you up there.
00:48
I've also I've also dealt with
00:49
the same problem.
00:50
It's called putting on muscle,
00:51
Donnie.
00:52
It's called putting on muscle.
00:53
It's not that winter coat, if
00:54
you know what I'm saying.
00:55
But it's not that.
00:56
It's not that.
00:57
It's not that winter coat, if
00:58
you know what I'm saying.
00:59
But he is.
01:00
Yeah.
01:01
He is struggling.
01:02
You know, Debo told us, I'm not
01:03
struggling.
01:04
I'm just not seeing the rock.
01:05
I'm not getting the ball.
01:06
No, he looks like he's missing
01:07
that first step.
01:08
And that can be the difference
01:09
between being wide open or being
01:11
shut down on a various amount of
01:13
plays there.
01:14
So it hasn't been good for the
01:15
49ers in battling with injury.
01:16
For Debo Samuel, he sounded off
01:19
and rightfully so there, Donnie.
01:20
And, you know, it's easy for me
01:22
to sit here and give the wide
01:23
receivers a hard time.
01:24
But there's incentives towards a
01:26
lot of their contracts.
01:27
You know, once it's all said and
01:29
done at the end of a pretty
01:30
mediocre year for the 49ers, if
01:33
they're not to go on and make it
01:34
through to the playoffs, Debo is
01:36
going to be saying, well, I
01:37
didn't hit my my target share.
01:38
But right now they're trying
01:40
everything. They are just trying
01:41
to win football games.
01:42
And they got a very tough
01:43
assignment coming up against the
01:45
Rams on deck there.
01:46
So I think they'll take a bit of
01:47
confidence away from what we saw
01:49
over Chinatown, over Chicago.
01:52
Debo Samuel, when when he is
01:54
singing, when he is on, he is one
01:55
of the most electric weapons
01:57
in the NFL.
01:58
But we just haven't seen that and
02:00
we haven't seen the same team
02:02
outfit chemistry from the 49ers.
02:04
So I think it's just a sign of the
02:05
times that we haven't had the same
02:07
kind of cohesion that we saw at
02:08
this point of the year last year
02:10
for San Francisco.
02:11
So right now it's not a
02:13
case of, you know, you've got to
02:15
put up with how it's playing out,
02:16
but you have a bit of patience
02:18
there, my guy Debo.
02:19
You guys are trying to turn it
02:20
around and it starts week by week
02:22
and by him getting a bit more
02:24
rock, maybe that's going to open
02:25
things up.
