The Seattle Seahawks suffered a gut-wrenching 32-29 loss to the 49ers, and while the score was tight, one moment after a play perfectly captured the frustration for the Emerald City: 49ers wide receiver Mike Evans, who had been absolutely cooking our secondary all night, turned to Seahawks cornerback Trevon Diggs and straight up asked him, “Who are you?”
Evans Went Off, Then Went Viral
Look, Mike Evans was on a mission against our Hawks. The dude terrorized our defense, hauling in seven catches for 113 yards and a touchdown. It wasn’t just the yardage either; he snagged a two-point conversion that pushed the 49ers lead to 29-26 with just over 11 minutes left on the clock. That was Evans’ best game in a 49ers uniform, and he made sure everyone knew it. He’s been agitating players for 13 seasons, and our guy Diggs was just the latest on the list. You could see it on the Fox broadcast: Evans turning to Diggs, who was chirping, and then Evans literally turned Diggs’ shoulder to peep his nameplate before walking away. Seriously.
Zero Stats, Zero Recognition for Trevon Diggs
Evans pulled zero punches after the game, explaining exactly what went down. “I was blocking him to the whistle, and then he said something like, I’m ‘doing extra,’ or something like that,” Evans said. “And I didn’t know that was him at first, because I played against him a few times, and we always been cool. He was a good player. And I honestly didn’t know it was him because in the helmet, it’s hard to tell sometimes. And we were talking trash, and I think I pushed him, and then I was like, ‘Who are you?’ I looked to make sure, ‘Oh, it’s fucking Diggs.’ And then he mushed me. It should have been a penalty [on Diggs]. It is what it is.” Talk about a brutal scene. What makes it even tougher to swallow? In his second game with the Seahawks, Trevon Diggs had no stats to his name. Absolutely nothing.
This one stings. Losing a close game to a rival always does, but when a guy torches your defense and then acts like he doesn’t even know the name of the guy he’s schooling, that’s a different level of disrespect. The 12s expect our defense to shut guys down, not get clowned on like that. We gotta tighten up, especially in the secondary, and quickly. What are we doing to fix this? We need answers, and we need them fast, because this can’t become a trend.
