49ers’ Deebo Samuel on facing hostile Philly crowd: “No stadium is as loud as ours”

The noise at Levi's Stadium has been off the charts in the San Francisco 49ers' two playoff games. This past Sunday's win over the Dallas Cowboys was the team's last home game, though. Next, they will travel to Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia to face the top-seeded Eagles.
While Levi's Stadium crowds have been impressive this season, there are certain venues famous for their loud, passionate fans. Lincoln Financial Field is one of them. One 49ers player didn't sound too concerned about the Philadelphia home crowd.
"We know it's going to be loud," wide receiver
Deebo Samuel told reporters on Wednesday, "but no stadium is as loud as ours at the end of the day. They're at home, NFC Championship. They're going to be all riled up. We don't really too much feed into all that because we put the pads on and just go to work."
It's good that
Brock Purdy had an opportunity to play in another loud road environment—at Lumen Field against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 15. That should better prepare him for the noise during this weekend's elimination game.
"We'll do the same thing we did that week," head coach Kyle Shanahan said of preparing Purdy for Lincoln Financial Field. "That was huge because that was our first game, really all year, that it was that important, and Brock kind of had experience with it. So it was great to have that, especially with us going to Philly.
"I remember us talking about that, that week, that we needed that. We needed that [experience] in case we ended up in the NFC Championship at Philly, and we got that. And I'm very fortunate that we did, and I feel we're good to go."
The 49ers will crank up the pumped-in noise during practice this week, as they did leading to that Seahawks game on a short week.
"He knows what to expect. He knows how we do it," Shanahan said of Purdy. "And we'll give him reps at it all week, but he got it ready on just a Wednesday when he played Thursday (against Seattle), so it won't be an issue this week."

49ers considered trading Mike McGlinchey last year
Mike McGlinchey received a life-changing payday, signing a five-year, $87.5 million deal with the Denver Broncos. The offensive tackle has known for a while that he would not return to the San Francisco 49ers, the only NFL team he has played for and the one that made him the No. 9 overall pick in 2018.
General manager John Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan made it clear to McGlinchey that he was likely playing his final months for the team. There was too much money invested in other spots, and the 49ers knew they couldn't compete with other interested teams.
Behind the scenes, Lynch and Shanahan kept McGlinchey in the loop of what the team was thinking, and everything pointed to the tackle playing elsewhere in 2023 … maybe even
Photo: Recovering 49ers QB Brock Purdy spotted by fan
Brock Purdy can begin throwing again sometime in June. The San Francisco 49ers quarterback is expected to be ready to hit the field—practice or in-game—sometime in September.
Purdy is recovering from surgery to repair the tear of the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) in his right elbow, an injury sustained in the NFC Championship Game against the Philadelphia Eagles. He hasn't been seen since the surgery, with his last public appearance taking place In Arizona, during the week leading to the Super Bowl.
One fan spotted Purdy, though, getting a photo with the 49ers quarterback (h/t TheSFNiners). As expected, Purdy is wearing a massive brace on his throwing arm,
