Great to see him balling out the last few weeks

Whenever Deebo is out, Kittle starts to go off. Same thing happened last year when Deebo missed the Seattle game and was banged up against Cinci.

It'd be nice if we could find a way to keep Kittle involved when Deebo is playing.

We do have a way. His name is Brock Purdy.

One thing Kittle does so differently than Kelce - he starts more tight to the OL in a three point stance and still releases smoothly into pass routes. Although it puts him in traffic and getting chucked, it makes it soooo hard on the defense to read run or pass from his alignment.

Then on top of that, when he is in a two point stance, his blocking is still insanely well leveraged, not just a high push. Again, it must just mess with defenders trying to anticipate not just him, but the play called.

He's getting involved a lot more. Now that we can throw down the field. Purdy can hit dimes down the field.

Even his shorter passes have way better ball placement allowing for these guys to catch and run without breaking strike.

Kittle has been such a team player and loves being a great blocker but that can't be as fun as scoring touchdowns. Glad to see him taking it to the house the past couple games.

Man I love how kittle is a beast and don't care but at same time he's to happy to not follow his route. Don't get me wrong I love it just don't want players to start doing that.

Wtf--wow

"TE George Kittle has four TD grabs over past two weeks ... matching total from his first 11 appearances of 2022. He's the first Niner with multiple scoring catches in successive games since Terrell Owens in 2002." — Nate Davis

That's an easy swing pass instead of a unnecessary CMC hand off.
