With the 12-4 Niners set to host the 13-3 Seahawks in a Saturday night showdown that will decide the NFC West title and No. 1 seed<\/a> from the NFC in the playoffs, Lenoir brought up \u201cJSN\u201d<\/a> while talking to the media on Monday.<\/p>\n \u201cHopefully I get to shadow JSN,\u201d Lenoir said. \u201cI\u2019m ready for this. Like, I hope he ready. \u2026 Man-to-man coverage, me and him. That\u2019s what I want. Me and him.\u201d<\/p>\n How short week impacts Seahawks\u2019 prep for Niners<\/a><\/p>\n Lenoir memorably threw shade at JSN back in March<\/a> after it was reported that two-time Pro Bowl receiver DK Metcalf had requested a trade from the Seahawks, one Seattle would grant soon after by making a deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers.<\/p>\n \u201cBro you can\u2019t leave Seattle you the only one that made that game fun,\u201d Lenoir wrote while re-posting a Bleacher Report graphic<\/a> about Metcalf\u2019s reported trade request.<\/p>\n Lenoir doubled-down shortly after by calling out Smith-Njigba by name on an Instagram video.<\/p>\n \u201cY\u2019all cannot let DK let leave. Y\u2019all can\u2019t do that. Like, who\u2026 how am I gonna have fun out there?\u201d Lenoir said in the video. \u201cNjigba, he be crying all day. He cry. That\u2019s all he do is cry. \u2018Ref, he holding. He holding, ref. Oh no, don\u2019t hurt me.\u2019 Crybaby. Bro, I\u2019m not worried about JSN. He know that.\u201d<\/p>\n Whether or not Lenoir was worried about JSN, that fact is that Smith-Njigba has flourished this year following the trade of Metcalf and Seattle\u2019s quarterback switch from Geno Smith to Sam Darnold. JSN leads the NFL in receiving with 1,709 yards, which includes 124 yards he had on nine receptions back in Week 1 against Lenoir\u2019s 49ers. And the Seahawks have been plenty of fun without Metcalf, becoming the only team in the NFC to win 13 games through Week 17 and giving themselves a chance at the first 14-win season in franchise history.<\/p>\n Seattle Sports\u2019 Brock Huard, a longtime football broadcast analyst and former NFL QB, reacted on Tuesday\u2019s edition of Brock and Salk by saying Lenoir\u2019s request to cover JSN in man-to-man coverage is ill-advised.<\/p>\n \u201cGuess what? You ain\u2019t covering him,\u201d Huard said. \u201cMan-to-man, you\u2019re not covering him. No matter who you are\u2026 (Lenoir) is not that good. He\u2019s a good player. He\u2019s not elite.\u201d<\/p>\n The Seahawks visit the 49ers at 5 p.m Saturday. Radio coverage on Seattle Sports<\/a> will begin at 2 p.m. with the pregame show.<\/p>\n Seattle Seahawks coverage<\/p>\n \u2022 Seahawks Status Report: A win away from the No. 1 seed<\/a>
