I forget where I heard it from, but Rice supposedly has been following Kelce around all year trying to get up to speed and improve as a WR. Felt like it checked out because toward the second half of the season, he settled into those soft spots in coverage just like Kelce did. Would really put my mind at ease knowing that there's someone out there trying to fill Kelce's zone beater role as he gets older.

I know Kelce mentioned talking to Rashee on the sidelines after a failed drive around mid season on his pod. But a few times you could see them on the broadcast walking off and walking on the field together. Rice has the physical traits to get open and create seperation at the line, if the becomes KillaTravs understudy the sky or the 40 time is the limit.

The game definitely slowed way down for him in the last half of the year. The concentration drops just vanished.

Rice is gonna be a 1300 and 10 guy for us going forward!

Seemed like he dropped more early. Must have just been 3 pretty important ones that made them stand out.

Imagine what he will do with a real NFL WR coach.

Might have to imagine for awhile because I haven't heard any staff changes being made there.

There is no reason not to make a move here.

The WR coach was clearly in over his head.

Maybe so... but they usually make these moves by now if they were gonna

Andy’s known to be loyal to a fault. Embree isn’t going anywhere.

Rice seemed to develop nicely as a rookie in Andy's offense so maybe Embree isn't a problem.

I don't know. He was good and he was fed volume because the rest of the WR's were hot garbage.

Not sure he was developed to his potential.

I'll believe it when there is more variety to the routes he wins on.

Well for Rice to reach his full potential as a rookie in Andy's offense seems like an extreme measurement. But yeah Embree has a lot to prove as the WRs coach going forward.

When our offense was sputtering and we needed SOMEONE to win 15 yards past the LOS why could Rice not being running some deeper posts or slants?

It was just the sideways Nagy shit or the shallow crossers 90 percent of the time.
