49ers Dante Pettis, Deebo Samuel go in opposite directions?

SANTA CLARA – Dante Pettis and Deebo Samuel are expected to play a prominent role as receivers at the 49th anniversary in the coming years. That's why they participated in the second round of the last two projects. In speaking with them on Monday, there is a different aura about their current state.

With Pettis, he is not surprised. He provoked public anger from coach Kyle Shanahan after Saturday's show in Kansas City. Pettis acknowledged that he had to play with "more urgency" and manage routes "deliberately with more purpose".

Samuel is a few lockers. He seems ready for his first season. Samuel averaged 22 yards in four receptions, while adding 14- and 45-yard runs.

"I am capable of anything," said Samuel with confidence. "Whatever the coach wants me to do, I will do it without asking him why."

Samuel is aligned with Marquise Goodwin during the first simulated simulation of Monday's 45-minute practice. Pettis, meanwhile, was working with the coach for a minor problem with the groin, a result of Saturday's workload during which he was surprised to play in the fourth quarter.

Are Samuel and Pettis going in opposite directions? If so, is Samuel ready from the first day?

"That means everything," said Samuel. "But I'm just lucky to keep playing, whether I'm a beginner or not, knowing that I can contribute the way they need me."

Samuel showed impressive speed during a 45-yard run last Monday in Denver, a byproduct of his 10-pound drop the month before the camp working in Florida and his South Carolina. Additional preparations have been extended with coach Wes Welker and quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo.

Samuel said about Garoppolo: "He'll put the ball where it's needed, he'll be smart, he'll train you."

As to whether Samuel is a flanker or receiver of slot machines, he replied: "In this offense, you are going to be everywhere, so it's hard to give a name to what position do you really play."

After a year in this system, Pettis insisted that he was "on the same page" as Shanahan and that he was not bothered by public criticism, adding, "I understand. I've had it all my life. My father is a coach, so I know it's happening like that. "

Who is harder with him? "Right now, Kyle," said Pettis laughing. His father, Gary, is the coach of the third goal of the Houston Astros.

Setting the Pettis route may mean faster steps, however unnatural.

"With me, the way I run is so long and so smooth, quite often, it seems like I'm not going at full speed," said Pettis. "So shorten my stride. I always cover the same ground. This looks different and it is easier to configure routes this way. "

Rookie Jalen Hurd is still not trained or run. She struggles against stiffness in the back and is out after eight shots against the Denver Broncos.

– Weston Richburg Center is ranked among players physically unable to play and finally debuted in 2019, slipping directly into the first team unit. He played 15 starts last year despite a torn quadriceps that required off – season surgery and intensive rehabilitation.
