Jerry Rice sparks debate about whether Kyle Shanahans play calling led to Deebo Samuel injury

Jerry Rice has seen enough.The 49ers have been dealt body blow after body blow of injuries this year at crucial positions: Trey Lance is out for the year after suffering a season-ending ankle injury in Week Phil Niekro Jersey 1. Jimmy Garoppolo broke his foot in Week 13, and the latest potentially the most disruptive. in the 49ers' Week 14 matchup vs. the Buccaneers, former Niners great Jerry Rice weighed in on the playcalling that led to the injury after the game.Jerry Rice was not happy after Deebo Samuel left the game with an apparent leg injury. NFL on ESPN (@ESPNNFL) "Please stop running our skill players up the middle. @trey.lance @jimmypolo10 and now @19problemz all hurt!!" Rice posted on Instagram following the game.MORE: While Samuel's ability to run the ball has long been one of the staples of his game, running him up the middle in a 21-0 game is certainly a choice by head coach Kyle Shanahan. Trey Lance was injured on a QB power run, with the middle of the offensive line a dangerous place for any non-RB to be.That said, of the 41 designed rushes for the wide receiver this year, Samuel has run the ball 12 times between the tackles, so it wasn't exactly an unfamiliar position for him to be in on Sunday afternoon.Still, the 49ers marched to 9-4 on Sunday afternoon driven by a solid Brock Purdy performance and the defense shutting down Tom Brady. It did, though, come at a pretty high cost. Tom Glavine Jersey
