Johnathan Abram

[Mistashoesta]

I might be way off but it seems like when he "twisted" Deebos leg he poked the bear and that was the beginning of the momentum shift. Seattle had all the momentum but once the scuffle took place the niners seemed re-energized and that was the beginning of the end.

 

[sutz]

teasing a penalty, too.

 

[Scout]

Maybe but Abram actually plays with some fire. The defense definitely lacks that edge that offenses need to fear.

It is a fine line between aggression and disciplined play. That is a flaw but also a plus with a player like Abram.

Momentum shifted when Geno fumbled. Second time he's done that the redzone this year.

 

[cymatica]

Momentum shift in the 3rd quarter when the refs created an ineligible lineman downfield that didn't happen. They knew that in a tight game, the less talented team only needs a few key penalties to unravel

 

[Jerhawk]

That was a classless play by him and it gave them a spark.

The 49ers and their fans deserve to be upset by that play. There's no reason or excuse for a Seahawk to play like a Saints player. Really disappointed that happened

 

[Palmegranite]

It was the fumble. Seahawks were going to get at least 3 on that series, despite the penalty.
It deflated the team.

You mean momentum shifted after the most bogus illegal man downfield call of all time. NFL is a joke why even watch

 

[SantaClaraHawk]

For everyone saying the refs steered things, well why didn’t they see this?

Its pretty egregious to deliberately try to hurt someone after the play. Abram should have been ejected and frankly suspended.

Deebo Samuel: Johnathan Abram leg twist "turned our team up a notch"

The 49ers were trailing the Seahawks 17-16 in the third quarter when wide receiver Deebo Samuel picked up 21 yards on a pass from Brock Purdy.

If that play is what the Niners needed to get fired up in the playoffs, they won't make it very far.

 

[Sports Hernia]

I think since the Hawks were such severe underdogs they should have been able to put a Rick Flair style figure four leg lock to “even things up a bit” on the player of their choice.



PS. That’s a joke, though maybe a bad one.

Abram is the Metcalf of the defense

 

[largenutz]

To the Op, I said the same thing when it happened, that was gonna fire up the Niners and we’d be done. Sure everything else happened as the game went along, but right when that play happened I said same thing. Told my son he was once a Raider first round pick

 

[TheLegendOfBoom]

Not going to be on the roster next year.

Really was picked up because he has game experience and was a high draft pick originally.

 

[Cyrus12]

Bring him back..make him a linebacker..at least he shows sign of a heartbeat unlike the the guys playing that position

Don’t disagree. But the blatant late hit on Geno was just as bad. Maybe should have fired us up?

I’m not condoning Abram but I’ve seen way worse examples of leg twisting. He hangs on his leg for two seconds in slow motion. So in regular speed he hung on his leg for a fraction of a second. The Seahawks needed the D to get off the field after the fumble and they were incapable. That was the ballgame. The Niners and collective media can tell each other whatever they want.

No, he kinda lets go of Deebos leg then grasps it again after the play was over. Dirty all Around.
