How Deebo Samuel fits with the Washington Commanders
Breaking down what Samuel brings to the Commanders and how he fits in Kingsbury's offense
Hey everyone! On Friday, I wrote a post breaking down my thoughts on if the Commanders should trade for 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel. On Saturday night, news broke that the Commanders have indeed agreed to trade for Samuel, giving up a fifth round pick and taking on Samuel’s full contract. Having just written about Samuel, I thought instead of doing another written piece, I’d hop on with my friend George Carmi and do a full video breakdown. It’s an hour long video where I break down what Samuel still has left, how he fits with the team and how Kingsbury could look to use him. Hope you all enjoy watching!
Just finished watching your talk with George. Well done! I always enjoy hearing you explain the clips on screen. I think you have a future in it!!😜
One of my first concerns was that it’s a bit disappointing to think that this precludes the B&G from going after Coop - or even Christian Kirk (who my Jags season ticket-holder friend loves 🩷🩷🩷 and would hate to see go!). But then you made it obvious that Deebo is a different kind of pass catcher than those two, and that the Comms might still be well served by going after a more traditional WR, but at a lower price point than Kupp or Kirk.
It’s notable to me that while you started the talk out by saying that (like me) acquiring Deebo was not a high priority for you, you did a pretty great job of selling him as a guy who can really upgrade the Comms in a few ways. Even I - a Deebo skeptic - am getting pretty excited about what he might bring to the table!
I only hope that Deebo’s healthy, in shape, and highly motivated. That combination will go a hell of a long way towards making this an outstanding pickup.
Cheers!
Listened luve. Great show. I think i am a little bit more positive, but truly hating what appears to be losing out on Kupp
