00:00 And that is the super interesting thing when you compare the props for Debo Samuel and

00:07 Brandon Iuke DRS for this Super Bowl because entering the NFC Championship game listed

00:11 as questionable was Debo Samuel.

00:14 50-50 was the report on Samuel earlier in the week.

00:18 His receiving yards prop when it finally came up entering conference championship weekend

00:21 47.5 was that number.

00:25 Meanwhile Brandon Iuke against the atrocious Detroit secondary had an 80.5 receiving yards

00:30 prop.

00:31 It was Debo Samuel that was the leading receiver for Brock Purdy and San Francisco in that

00:36 NFC Championship game.

00:38 Eight grabs on nine targets for more than 80 yards.

00:41 I know that Debo Samuel is my look for Super Bowl Sunday for this San Francisco offense

00:47 and mainly over the receptions prop of 4.5.

00:50 I would love a total touches over under for both Debo Samuel and Christian McCaffrey.

00:56 No rushing attempts props listed for Debo Samuel just yet but the last time San Francisco

01:01 played Kansas City on a Super Bowl Sunday three carries for 53 yards on the ground.

01:06 I think he is going to be a central focus of this San Francisco offense come Sunday.

01:10 I mean he is and we know he is.

01:12 I mean look we've talked.

01:15 Injuries in this league are always very interesting to try and figure out what a guy is going

01:19 to be able to do.

01:21 I think sometimes though and I will use Donnie as our resident analyst our athlete on this

01:26 show but you get out there and I don't know I've been healthy.

01:30 I don't know what anyone's taught.

01:31 I cannot believe this guy was like a legit 50/50.

01:35 We do not know if he will play in the NFC title game.

01:37 Like if that was a week 16 game he doesn't even play in the game.

01:40 90 receiving yards almost and the goal line carry Donnie is the play I can't get out of

01:46 my mind.

01:47 And also go back to Ben's point where with the usage rate here we talk about rushing

01:50 and receiving but also the rocket screens the shovel passes they add up in pass receptions

01:54 and getting in those yards here.

01:56 But also you're right about the injury which was so interesting.

01:59 Debo is one of the toughest players in the NFL.

02:00 I think we can all agree upon that.

02:01 He can be a starting tailback a starting tight end a wide.

02:05 He can do whatever you want.

02:06 He leaves that football game and gets the harness.

02:07 So I say to myself if Debo has to leave this football game and can't come back and then

02:12 you're telling me he could be doubtful to probable the next week depending on if he

02:15 practices like there's no way he's playing next week like people would have played that

02:18 game all the way through against the Green Bay Packers and he shows up and you see him

02:21 hyping up the crowd.

02:22 I was like you know it's go time.

02:23 You got a discount and away we went.

02:25 It's almost like he didn't even have the injury when we were talking about you know Dr. Chow

02:29 was on with us a few times.

02:30 Well if that's the same injury that's a three week injury comes right back to next week.

02:33 You know what was so interesting entering that conference championship Sunday to win

02:36 Debo Samuel finally met with the media and he was like yeah I'm playing in this football

02:40 game and they asked him are you going to protect that shoulder might you step out of bounds

02:44 early.

02:45 And he goes I am protecting anything when a conference championship is on the line.

02:49 So I think Lee see when you look at those props 57 and a half for Debo Samuel into the

02:53 low 60s for Brandon Iuke.

02:56 Who do you expect Brock Purdy's favorite target to be outside of Christian McCaffrey if they're

03:00 going to push the ball vertically down the field.

03:02 I think it's Kittle in terms of receptions.

03:04 It could be it could be Iuke in terms of yards because I think they're going to utilize Debo

03:09 Samuel in regards to the rushing game.

03:11 We talk about the three rushes seven yards last week because of the shoulder limited

03:15 opportunities now in terms of the Super Bowl an extra week of preparation.

03:20 I think they get Debo out in terms of the fly sweeps give him the opportunity in terms

03:24 of the rushing attack.

03:25 He has juicy numbers.

03:27 So again does he get to that four and a half five receptions potentially.

03:31 But the yards have to be there as well.

03:33 I think again I think San Francisco for me attacks Kansas City over the top.

03:38 I think they do it with the passing attack and then they open up the rushing rushing

03:42 lanes with McCaffrey and Debo later in this ballgame.
