    When the OC calls his number compared to other NFL teams we don' t
    Hardly throw to the TE.A weapon like that and we don't use him? Why?

    I understand the comparison, but Green's concussions were much worse. It's not that you are wrong about anything.

    Yes, Muth did have 3 in a calendar year as well. My point was that Green missed significant time with his concussions and they were more severe.

    His first concussion was bad. He was knocked unconscious and missed the final 3 games of the 2014 season, but the effects lasted a long time. He then had two more the following year which made 3 in 9 months. Here it explains Green's situation a little better.

    Why can't our TE be targeted 10 times a game and open like Kelcy? OC /design is why. Look how many passes Kittle caught
    against Cowboys? Cowboys have a pretty good defense and were destroyed by Niners.

    Kelce and Kittle are also a lot better than most tight ends.

    Agreed but there has to be a strategy to get all our weapons involved in offense not just Pickens.
    Our rb's are both good receivers, can't we get them the ball thrown to them a little?

    I think Herbstreit was saying that those are option routes so Kelce is adjusting away from coverage and typically just doesn't stand there if he is covered.

    Not sure if Kelce and Kittle are required to block. Our offense has the TE and RB blocking, thus negating two weapons

    You leave the monster Jones where he is. Why the hell they would go back to Moore is just mind numbing. Keep Moore as the swing.

    They block some of the time, but not nearly as often as Washington. Kittle is actually a fantastic blocker. Kelce is a good one, too. I'm still not sure how much of a weapon Washington is at this point, certainly nothing like those two guys.

    I agree with both of you. It's time to let Jones play.

    For some reason KFP doesn't hardly look Washington's way. I don't know if maybe He drops the balls in practice, or something, but He was open a couple of times right in the middle of the field last week, and KFP went elsewhere.

    I hope he starts using him, it will help all involved.
