Now again, I'm not saying that Robinson needs to be this good at that sort of thing, but it demonstrates how important those little things can be (and how obscenely good Kelce is at it).

It just has to be a mental block. There's no way the coaches and teammates don't get on his ass in film study.

I could seriously watch that play all day. He is so friggen good. I didn't notice it in real time at all until I saw this video this morning. Very few people will ever ask themselves how the hell he got upfield that quickly because it just never occurs to them to do so. It seems easy to just turn and go.

But there aren't many, if any, TEs in football that get into the end zone on that play. It wasn't nearly as easy as it looked because most dudes take a straight shot after securing the catch from 55 and the 2 DBs clean it up before he gets in. It's just intuitive for him. He's so insanely good.

If you could get guys like Hardman and/or Robinson to think ahead of the game half as well as Kelce does, they'd be significantly better for it.

Kelce became a master of moving in tight spaces after his concussion problems early. He changed the entire way he runs with the ball after the catch. He's way more methodical and purposeful now.

I also kinda wonder why Hardman didn't get a free lick in on Johnson there. He's lined up for a pretty good block and a chance to hit a DB but makes a business decision.

Pretty normal for Kelce these days. He seems to always be setting up for RAC.

He bobbled a pass earlier in the game and it looked like it was because he was looking to run before he secured it.

Hill and Kelce suck up targets as they should.

That's cause they are the only ones getting open.
When Sammy was around he got open, and got targets, and made them count.
A really good 3rd receiver would make everyone on that team better AND happier.
You don't think Kelce and Hill would love defenders having to pay real attention to another option, thus making the game easier for them as well?

17 is Hardman, Robinson is 11

Not even close. But Watkins was a first round talent all the way. Not really a fair comparison. Watkins, if he ever could've stayed healthy, would probably be talked about now as just below the likes of Diggs/Hopkins etc.

Yep. That’s what’s always been so disappointing about Watkins with every team he’s been with. He’s as physically gifted as any WR in the NFL. But a chandelier.

You are imagining things. Hardman was every bit as productive as Sammy. Sammy disappeared more often than not, outside of the playoffs.

LMAO if healthy he would have averaged 800 yards per season if you extrapolate his yards over 16 games. That's far from disappearing if when you have Kelce and Hill in front of you.

Sassy Squatch 09-13-2021 05:55 PM

"if healthy" yeah, that's the ****ing problem with Watkins.

Easy 6 09-13-2021 05:59 PM

I'd bet Sammy will look like a man on fire for Baltimore tonight

Ravens fans will swoon all over him, and then when they can least afford it... he'll come up gimpy

I've watched that movie several times

Yep. He was the perfect #2 for us but God hated him.

This is just bullshit.

Sammy’s best season was in 2019 when he had 673 yards and 3 TD’s on 90 targets.

Mecole’s best season was also 2019 when he had 538 yards and 6 TD’s on 41 targets.

Sure, Sammy didn’t play in 16 games that year (14), but even when he almost did, he wasn’t THAT much more productive than a rookie Hardman, despite more than double the amount of targets.
