That extrapolates to a 1600-yard season. Jimmie Ward had two tackles and zero passes defensed. I really doubt all of these guys stop Kelce. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaw66 Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 6 minutes ago, Over 29 years of fanhood said: this is my view also. He moves like a basketball player finding space in the paint in. Mahommes gets through his first or second read them dumps to him. It’s effective because it’s not predictable like a route tree Well, I think it's predictable. I mean, there are only so many places you can run from where the TE lines up. The problem is that most of the defensive players must be deployed elsewhere in order to defend other threats. Wideouts can't go left or right, because the sideline is there. But they have speed, so they threaten you deep, and your safeties have to cheat to help. Still, the wideout routes are somewhat limited. If you have a tight end who can run, his routes too are predictable, but there are a lot more of them. Kelce killed Edmunds a couple of years ago. It was simple - run into Kelce's area, move Mahomes in the pocket to force Edmunds to slide one way or another, cut Kelce in the opposite direction, BINGO! It was simple, and it's predictable if you're prepared for it. Some other defender has to be available to shade to Kelce as he makes his break. When that happens that defender will get a pick or a near pick, and the Chiefs will have second thoughts about doing that. That tactic creates a weakness someplace else, but Mahomes has to recognize it, and he has to recognize the NEXT defender who is rotating to cover THAT weakness. So, I think it's predictable but it isn't easy to defend. I'm sure McDermott will tell you that you have to mix it up. Yes, use White on him sometimes. Double him once in a while. Disguise defenses. Throw an occasional defensive wrinkle in there, something you haven't done before. And, if you're good at changing it up like that, you slow down Mahomes a bit, so it's important to have pass rushers getting home, because Mahomes slowing down doesn't help if he isn't getting tackled or at least hit in the backfield. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starrymessenger Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Like everybody else, i’ve wondered how to shut Kelce down. With the free release we have so often given him and his expertise in beating zone it seems to me that jamming him to the point that you knock him down (Mel Blount like) could at least throw off his route/timing/synchronicity with PM. Not many DBs could do that but maybe a linebacker who can run with him after he gets up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Einstein Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 the odd thing with Kelce is you rarely see him make an insane catch. he's just always open. wide open. every down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darius Leonard has been an all pro LB nearly the entire time for them. New England is just a good scheme team. Denver has also been very good on defense and has played more man defense than most teams during this time. Kelce also appears to be better against zone than man, ranking 8th in yards per route vs zone and 26th vs man. I would've loved to see Sean tell Tremaine to play him man all game. Just one damn time.

I’m good with what we have done so far this offseason. I’d like to improve the running game quite a bit and turn into a more sustainable offense in inclement weather. I think our defense will already be better. Addition by subtraction with both Les and Tremane. I’d like to draft a MLB but after today I’d probably rather trade for white.

Had we had Von and White at the time, I don't think that game has the same results. I also think if we didn't have all of the issues and injuries last year that we did, the season wouldn't have ended the same way. JMO.
