That's a Belichick special there. You need two guys to cover Hill anyway so you may as well use put your best on the #2 and let the less talented guy receive some help.

Not to the level Kelce has been in the past.

This is 100% it, and it's not just Kelce. Mahomes gets pulverized after almost every play and the officials just casually watch it happen. Our receivers are constantly mugged and I can't even remember the last time we got a PI call in a critical situation. It literally does not happen.

Everyone says defenses have "figured us out," and in a way they kind of have. They've discovered that the officials will allow us to get mauled at every level on offense and not do a damn thing about it. So they kick the shit out of us every chance they get and it's wearing this team down.

People will say "Oh you can't blame the officials, blah blah blah," but when they're intentionally neutering our offense week after week and it becomes obvious that it's beating the hell out of our players mentally and physically, it needs to be called out.

I'm getting really sick of watching it. It simply does not happen to other star players and teams and it's unacceptable. We're treated like the damn Detroit Lions.

Pat brings a lot of that shit on himself. He really, really needs to learn to play more safely.

The most important play about 99.99999% of the time is always going to be the next one. Guy's put himself at risk of taking big hits for little reason far too frequently. That extra 2 yards he might gain my not sliding is just not worth him suffering some sort of serious or lingering injury.

Kelce's been chill for like 4 years now. He's matured a ton.

No, refs aren't holding half decade old grudges against the guy.

Tight ends get mugged. They've always gotten mugged. Tony G got it just as bad. Kittle gets beat to shit as well.

Honestly, if you don't let teams get physical with the TEs, there's very little you can do to cover them. And they do spend a lot of time within the 5 yard legal contact zone.

He's just got a lot of miles on him. He's dinged up and it's keeping him from playing to the level he's accustomed to. It's wearing on him, IMO. It happens.

While I agree he needs to play safer outside the pocket, I'm talking about times he stays in the pocket and still gets sandwiched by 3 guys well after throwing the ball. It's a penalty for Brady every single time so you never see defenders pull that crap with him. With Pat, they just turn a blind eye to it.

It happens way too much.

Maybe take this conversation to another thread rather than the freaking one dedicated to how sucky Frank Clark is.

OH YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Well we're approaching 5k posts regarding his level of suck, can there really be that much more to discuss? o:-)

Since there is no end to the suck there shall be no end to the discussion of said suckage.

FRANK CLARK HATERS ABOUT TO EAT SO MUCH SHIT

Bold prediction:

This is now a top 3 defense in football from now till the end of the year.

Mark it down.

A lot of teams have used that approach.

The trouble is even those guys can’t cover TK87.

This defense has no weaknesses if the pass rush is back.

Man, I want what both of you have been smoking. :bong:
