FilthyBeast Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Going to be the best TE in NFL history when all is said and done. Was good before Mahomes and obviously on another level with him throwing the ball his way. I think teams will adjust as the season goes on and more tape is out there but even if you try and take Kelce out of the game someone else is just going to go off when you have the best QB in the NFL throwing the ball.

You get a defensive end to line up wide and jam him hard at the line— don’t let him free release. A few teams have done this with him (saints come to mind) and it was shown to be very effective. I don’t know know why more teams don’t do this— I am assuming there is a significant downside (maybe taking away one of your pass rushers basically). Paging Epenesa is what you're saying??!!

NoSaint Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 1 hour ago, Big Turk said: He has 6 1000 yard seasons in a row(and likely counting). No other TE in NFL history even has 4 total. Don't you think if it was possible to stop him they would have figured it out? The short answer is because he is too fast and athletic for a LB or most safeties to cover and too big for CBs to cover. I suspect corners can cover him but more importantly they have had too many deep threats to sit a top corner on him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rc2catch Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Same reason Justin Jefferson is open every week, or Mike Evans catches a touchdown almost every game, same reason Josh Allen is hard to stop, there’s a reason players get to elite status, and that’s because they can’t be stopped most weeks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why don't head coaches, def coordinators, defensive players can’t have a plan to limit his yardage?? Help me understand that one? Better yet why don't you just start a thread like this: Why don't head coaches, def coordinators, defensive players can’t have a plan to limit ________________ yardage Then just fill in the blank. I thought it was a good/sincere question by tho OP. Why the need to be a smart ass? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

947 Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 I think part of it is that teams try to defend him like a Tight End, which he isn't. Kelce lines up in the slot the majority of the time, he's not an in-line TE very often. If you put a LB on him, like you normally would a TE, he's too quick & gets open. If you put your Slot CB on him, like you normally would a Slot WR (and most slot CBs are undersized), he's too big & physical. The other part is he constantly gets a free release since he's in the slot. He's deadly if allowed to roam free. Solution: Put your best cover CB on him, and you can slow him down. Bump him at the line with a LB too, and now you're cooking with gas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Sack Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Great players like Kupp & Kelce will get yards. The key is not letting them score TDs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was incredibly obvious he was the key to the Pats dynasty, and yet our coaches didn't do anything about it. All six of those Chicago Bulls Championships were totally avoidable. Why didn't those stupid teams just guard Michael Jordan???
