After watching Deebo Samuel completely go off on the San Francisco 49ers’ particular groups duo of Taybor Pepper and Jake Moody after a third-straight missed area purpose, grabbing on the former’s neck earlier than swinging on the latter, it set the sports activities world on fireplace.
Would Samuel be despatched to the locker room? Was San Francisco’s group slowly falling aside? And would there be any post-game penalties, with any of the offending events being fined or suspended for his or her extracurricular actions?
Properly, whereas the NFL hasn’t formally dominated on the incident in some way – and doubtless will not if nothing comes out of it – Kyle Shanahan was requested if he’ll impose any form of punishment on his gamers for being a sideline distraction, to which he supplied a really attention-grabbing reply to the assembled media.
“No, I superb folks for breaking guidelines,” Shanahan informed reporters. “That is simply folks being soccer gamers and coping with stuff on the sidelines, and I didn’t actually chalk that as much as an enormous deal in any respect.”
On one hand, technically, he’s appropriate; nobody broke any guidelines until the 49ers have sportsmanship clause of their group bylaws. With that being mentioned, one has to surprise if issues would have shaken out in another way had the 49ers misplaced their recreation towards the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, or worse, in the event that they did so due to a Moody miss. Whereas profitable can treatment loads of points, the underlying ones largely stay.

“Oh yeah, completely. I feel it was a bit of bit overreaction and I don’t suppose, you by no means need [WR] Deebo [Samuel Sr.] to throw a child punch or something on anyone on our personal group, however Deebo additionally wasn’t saying something unhealthy to Jake, prefer it sounded. He was assembly him on the sphere telling him to lock in, the identical factor I’ll inform to an offensive participant who simply dropped some balls or made some penalties or one thing,” Shanahan informed reporters.
“You by no means sit there and belittle anyone or attempt to embarrass anybody. You attempt to problem guys that you simply consider in and a manner of, that’s how we communicate to one another and telling somebody they should focus and lock in as a result of we all know you are able to do this. And I like [LS Taybor Pepper] Pep’s intentions on it, he’s received his kicker’s again. However I feel he type of interpreted unsuitable what Deebo was doing to him and overreacted a bit of bit. And Deebo didn’t like that and received him out of his face, and that’s actually about the place it ended.”
Welp, there you go, of us; all’s nicely that ends nicely, proper? For now, certain, that is in all probability the final Shanahan, Samuel, or Pepper – if somebody asks him – will discuss in regards to the state of affairs until exterior fines or suspensions do come down from the league. However maintain this complete state of affairs at the back of your thoughts simply in case, as who is aware of, if the 49ers and/or Moody battle over the following few weeks, then perhaps stress will boil over as soon as extra, and the sidelines might turn into as large part of a recreation’s closing storyline as what occurs on the sphere.
