From # ask the sports stes from Michael G uh Darius J Butler Travis Kelce has put up good but not great numbers this year what have defenses been doing differently this year to cover him yeah we’ve been talking about this Michael that’s a good question because everybody’s saying like Hey You Know
Travis Kelce is not as productive and they’re taking him away what does that mean DB I think we have a play well yeah we do have a play but before we get that play let’s get some stats Michael it is a great question um right now Travis
Kelce sit 85 catches 924 yards only five touchdowns last year 110 catches 1400 with 12 TDS so last year nine games over 80 yards only one game less than 30 this year already three games less than 30 yards only uh then three TDS in the first four games this year only two in
The last nine play so you know if you’re a gambler especially was almost a guarantee anytime TD with Travis Kelce not the case so much if we get to the clip we can see one example from last week I think you only had 28 yards this
Game Yep this is a second and nine so not even third down but look it’s a manto man coverage you got a corner on him in first that’s Travis Kel if you run it back that’s Travis Kelce in motion coming in motion so I’ll say Jaylen Mills number two and you got that
Safety coming down and a linebacker kind of in that short hook so you’re always aware where 87 is regardless of what you call them man Zone red area in the field regardless of what you’re calling as a defense we got to take care of 87 somebody else got to beat us so normally
On that route where he turns left and the linebacker picks him up he could that’s an option R I think for him normally so if he goes right DB stays with him if he goes left linebacker goes we got four eyes on him literally for even Choice rout and a low hole Defender
And it was another play this game that um third and eight I believe that Patrick Mahomes hit Justin Watson on deep seven route yeah same thing you it’s got all guys cornerback on uh Kelce and a uh DB in safety as well so and whenever he motions right we’re just
Trying to see who’s on him I give you a press play here he can press play yep here we go he motions we know he’s with him right jayen mill on PR he’s pause it pause it pause it he’s covering one cuz if he was to come back he got him if he
Goes this way he’s got him he turns in so he’s got him yep so you got three so that’s a corner a safety and then you got a linebacker when it on the short window the quick throw to take away that two guys on him so because this move
Here is how he’s feeling if you want and he also knows this guy’s here so he’s allowed to go whichever way he wants and he can even go back all of it’s being covered all of it so that means eight people though for everything else it is
So at down at the bottom for instance he he he gets open he this receiver wins down at the bottom but you know homes doesn’t have time to get the ball to him the D line got to him but uh that Justin Watson play on Third and eight was a big
Play but once again you’re taking away 87 and as a defense especially bich that’s what he’s been known for forever you’re going to beat me you got to beat me left-handed somebody else got to step up Rashid rice has been coming along can he be that guy that can be consistent
Down the stretch will it be Watson I think Scot Moore went to IR will Tony get back in good graces make some plays um so we’ll see if they can figure it out hey Travis you’ve earned this though bu right sucks still it’s not yards or
Whatever I say yeah 924 only five TDS though yeah 12 last year through this time of year sorry 12 on the entire season got it okay anyways he is a weapon everybody knows he’s a weapon but they don’t do that to bums AJ they don’t
Do that to bums no I mean it’s got to be frustrating for tra he knows like they’re always leaning to him they’re always they’re always looking to cut him if you saw that play too like they’re coming down to cut him right at the sticks as well like they know where
Where he’s trying to get to most likely so yeah just’s a lot of attention so but does like dbut said it opens up everyone else on that field yeah it’s you know can Andy Reed draw something up to to get him open you know that’ be nice like
I see some plays that they’re drawn up for people you know like Hey we’re going to do this motion this motion and then all of a sudden you’re going to Bleak out and be wi up we see Christian mcaf the other day literally another part of
It too which AQ can touch on is the their front their tackles I don’t know how good or bad their tackles are but I see a lot watching him on film you see 87 chipping and staying in a lot to help that rush and Donovan Smith’s been down
That’s been a big key cuz now they’re they’re having to keep him in they got to help help the left tackle quite a bit now that’s that’s a big issue right now okay can they figure that out they got to get they got to get their guys back
Health I mean but they will I mean it’s he’s not season season inning or anything like he’ll be back all good teams though at the top have a great D line so having a soft offensive line is a inevitable Achilles heal that’s going to show itself whenever football comes
To matter hopefully Andy Reid and the boys big brains are able to figure it out but that’s why Travis kelse down a little bit it’s just a sign of respect six eyes potentially on Travis just on that one play they’ll make it happen especially when he’s just getting foued
And they’re not throwing a flag Taylor Swift saw it yeah she said flag well she she said that a lot and she didn’t say that on that play okay we can admit now as grown lip readers told me I said flag flag flag like a penalty flag the flag
Do she said [ __ ] and she swears actually and a lot of people said this she sweared a lot in her latest album uh midnight really yeah a lot of [ __ ] hey I if it’s if it is [ __ ] I’m pumped but I just think her football IQ is at a level
Now where she knows that that should have been pel Absolutely

We ALL know its Taylor swift fault
I blame Taylor Swift.
So in 13 games he has 924 yards 85 catches and 5 TDs. Funny how that’s a down year for Kelce.
it’s the double and triple team that he gets every game. You can’t expect him to be able to do what he did last year and plus they know there’s only 1 or 2 players that you have to guard so they can play soft and change their target
This ain’t rocket science the cheifs receivers such …except for watson (whose a legitimate #3 receiver) and the rookie rice who looks like he could be a solid #2 in a year or two…. the rest suck and its debatable if they should even be on an nfl squad.
It's probably because Travis got that bag from Pfizer, I mean 20mil trying to convince people to get that double shot vaccine, seems like that 14mil he's making with KC just ain't cutting it anymore.
Might be because he likes little boys and swift likes little girls? Epstein island?
To busy getting his fudge packed and getting booster shots?
They can afford to commit 2-3 defenders in his area bc everyone else sucks
What happened? As if he’s not doing 2947272 tv commercials? Uhhhhhhh
Travis leading ALL tight ends this season, and he's washed?!? Gimme a break.
Also, last year, he scored FOUR touchdowns with only 25 yards receiving vs the Raiders…nutz
Pass catching tight ends are just slow wide receivers. I don't see their purpose and I don't know why defenses ever allow them to catch any passes.
He’s the greatest TE of all time imo, but he isn’t immortal. Age and injury have slowed him down a little bit. Plus our receivers have struggled mightily this year. Those two things have led to a season where he’s still very productive, but not totally dominant.
What is on Pats arm? Is he okay?
He got too many jabs
Maybe teams are starting to actually cover him??? TEs generally shouldn't have 1k+ yard seasons….season afer season after season.
its that clot shot slowing him down
Its the damn girlfriend
It's swifts fault he's gone down the tubes
He looks like he moves in slow motion. Maybe he always has. Never paid attention. Still does the job though.
Travey took the jabby
Age
Travis is getting 2 Touchdowns for Christmas, it's Raiders week and Pat want's to make up for those endzone drops from last week. With Rice getting more respect it'll take some weight off Trav.
Because Merrick Garland has a gun to his and Taylor stifts heads
Taylor Swift
