Jerry Curl 109 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 There is a reason a guy who got a team to the NFC as many times as he did still lost his job. He makes bad bad choices. Reid has had success but he really is a bad game planner and the worst coach you will ever see at managing the clock. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ConnSKINS26 5,717 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Why is it so hard for Reid to call plays for this guy/Smith to target this guy? He's clearly their most dangerous receiving weapon (outside of Charles). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He's clearly their most dangerous receiving weapon (outside of Charles).It's weird. There are a ton of pass catching tight ends in the NFL who are average to mediocre blockers who still get a ton of looks. And they play on teams with far more offensive weapons than the Chiefs. I understand the Chiefs want to run, but then leave Fasano in. Run two tights with Bowe and a speed demon on the outside. Kelce needs to get a lot more targets.

Acme CEO 6 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Kelce is in a similar situation to Ertz. Fasano and Celek are better blockers and getting the running game is more important to winning than TE receptions. Both McCoy and Charles are having better games with their run blockers playing more.Gronk, Graham, and Thomas are studs because they stay on the field and don't telegraph passing situations.

rickyg 832 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 (edited) Today was a hugely disposing day regarding his usage, and that makes it 2 weeks in a row where kelce was barely involved in the gameplan. That knocks him out of the elite tier of tight ends imo. When he does have the ball in his hands he is an absolute stallion and he has elite te skill set for sure. But his coaches are too dumb to understand what to do with him. They'd rather throw the ball to junior hemi way out of the slot so he can have embarrassing drops on what could be a td.Because...you know...junior Hemingway is the bomb and all.

steveski 264 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 I think Reid is only a small part of the problem. I think the bigger part is Smith. Smith just does not throw it down the field, whether it's because he doesn't have the arm strength or he doesn't to avoid risk or both. I know there was one play where Kelce was open deep and Alex Smith scrambled and threw the ball away instead of taking the risk of throwing it deep to Kelce. It's probably pretty frustrating being a WR in a Smith led offense. Your thinking has to be altered to adjust your route towards the QB rather than your natural instinct of breaking your route deep.

Kelce ripped off back-to-back gains of 16 and eight yards on the Chiefs' game-winning drive, but was bafflingly limited to just two targets beforehand. It was confounding usage from coach Andy Reid, who watched Junior Hemingway and Dwayne Bowe commit brutal drops, and A.J. Jenkins display stunningly-little awareness.

Faust 5,269 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Rotoworld:Travis Kelce played on 40-of-75 snaps in Sunday's win over the Chargers.The 53.3 percent rate is actually less than what Kelce had played over the previous three weeks (59.1 percent). It confirms that the Chiefs did not come out of the bye with an emphasis on featuring Kelce more, as he had zero first-half targets and finished with just 4-33-0. Owners need to stop banging their heads against a brick wall and expecting Andy Reid to unleash Kelce fully -- it's clear that's not in the immediate plans, especially after an excellent road win. He'll be a boom-or-bust TE1 against the Rams in Week 8.Source: profootballfocus.com Oct 20 - 11:53 AM Quote Link to post Share on other sites

packersfan 12,494 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 I don't say this very often but I agree with RotoWorld's take. I think Kelce owners have to stop hoping he becomes a larger part of the offense. If it didn't happen coming out of a bye chances are it isn't going to happen at all. The biggest takeaway for me from yesterday's game is the Chiefs won with Kelce being an almost total afterthought (although he did come up big on the game-winning drive) so now Reid probably feels no motivation at all to change things.
