1st Team All Pro - TE George Kittle Thread

When George is involved in the pass game especially the redzone, it usually results in a dub, love this guy, total team guy. I think his best years as a pass catcher are still ahead of him. he's gonna be good for a long time.

Yes you feature him there to the point he's drawing extra attention and THEN you can find the other guys. I remember the ATL Falcons always looked for Tony Gonzalez and the same can be said for him when he was in KC. Look to your big guys in the red zone as a primary option

I thought that was common sense. This team is always looking for little guys in the redzone. In a compressed area the guys who are big, physical, great hands, can box out, man up their body on others have a huge advantage. That's who you can more likely hit. Because they create separation with their size and physical nature. They also can muscle the ball away and jump up and go over the top. Every team does this regularly. Except us. We mostly ignore this option. Kittle and Jennings should be 1 and 2 around the endzone in your reads.
IMO, he's have more TD's if he didn't have to stay in and block.
This is cool.

George doing being rich correctly
In his first 5.5 seasons in the NFL, George Kittle only had 24 TD's.

Since Purdy took over, Kittle has 21 TD's in 2 seasons.
Needs more targets with how he's playing.

Maybe the rest of the receiving core shoulda gone on the hunting trip George and Purdy went on.


GET HIM THE BALL!
Every time we use him in the redzone you get a lot of success. Yet we struggle in the redzone. Every other team in the league uses TE's down close by the endzone. I hate how dumb Shany is. A big tall guy who has a big frame and can muscle guys is effective by the endzone. This should be common sense. Logic would tell you to use him more there.

I don't see why he can't be used 1on1 out wide inside the 10 yard line to go high point a ball in the corner of the end zone. I trust Brock to locate the ball where it's a touchdown or incomplete.

It's the ways he is scoring too

Hero redzone catches, and bonkers lvl catch and runs...

People get mad at me for saying BA was a bit of a product of the system, GK on the other hand makes something out of nothing on the regular.

GK is a monster on any team with a functional system and QB
Kittle should be the featured in redzone until CMC regains his game speed back. Deebo can't get pass line of scrimmage anymore.

How do you know if Kittle isnt the main read but he's covered so Purdy has to look elsewhere? I'm pretty sure dumb Shanny has thought about this.
