Frustrations with special teams boiled over when Deebo Samuel took exception with some of his 49ers teammates in Week 10.
The San Francisco 49ers have every right to be frustrated with their special teams unit right now.
If anything, wide receiver Deebo Samuel is expressing what many Niners fans are feeling amid Week 10's game on the road against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Not only did San Francisco muff a punt return that led to a Bucs touchdown a few plays later, but kicker Jake Moody missed not one, not two, but three separate field-goal attempts.
Minus-9 points for the 49ers on those.
Understandably, plenty of Moody's teammates would be frustrated even though the kicker just returned from a high-ankle sprain suffered early in the season.
Samuel, who had impact moments on offense throughout the game, finally let his frustrations boil over.
Deebo Samuel goes after 49ers special teamers amid frustrations vs. Buccaneers
After Moody's third miss, Samuel was seen on the sideline going after long-snapper Taybor Pepper, who appeared to be defending Moody:

It's not quite clear if Samuel was directly going after Moody and Pepper was coming to his kicker's defense.
But, given the context of the situation, it makes sense.
For sure after the game, Samuel and his teammates will have to answer for what happened in that particular moment. Samuel will certainly field some questions from the media about what transpired and why he chose to act in the manner he did.
Even if Samuel is feeling what a lot of fans are feeling about Moody, it's not exactly a pretty moment.
