Deebo Samuel and 49ers Head Coach Kyle Shanahan Discuss Wideout’s Usage
Deebo Samuel, the 49ers’ wideout, and head coach Kyle Shanahan have ongoing discussions about the player’s usage on the field. Shanahan expressed understanding for Samuel’s frustration, stating that the player wants to help the team by getting the ball more. The coach emphasized the importance of keeping these discussions in-house, citing the potential for outside distractions and frustration.
“We’d always love things to stay in-house,” Shanahan said. “That’s probably why I don’t mess with social media. I’m sure I’d get worked up and stuff too if I was reading stuff about myself all the time.”
Shanahan encouraged Samuel to focus on his daily interactions with the coach and not let outside influences affect his performance. The coach believes that answering questions about the situation won’t help Samuel and may only hurt him.
As for the 49ers’ upcoming game against the Los Angeles Rams, the team is looking to bounce back from a tough season and secure a win. A loss would put their 2024 season in jeopardy.
