But this Kelce is a technician as much as anything. He's a brilliant route-runner who knows where he needs to be and can use his size to make things happen. He's NOT an explosive athlete at this point, especially not at this point of the season (12 games on his legs and cold weather).
He kinda needs to understand that a little bit more. McCoy gets into trouble because he tries to do things he used to be able to do and his body betrays him. Well that Kelce play was a lot like that - Trav, buddy, you're not gonna be able to do what you were trying to do there anymore man. Get your first down, hammer the guy in front of you and see if you can't push forward for another yard or two.

My dad calls it Tyreekitis. They see him do it, it works so they think "shit, I can do that".
Nah, you can't. Just make the catch, get north and south and get what you can. I think it's time to invest in a real back up TE and sadly, I think they kinda miss Harris.
I've even more so come to the realization that you are always going to have needs and holes on a team, you just have to keep drafting the best player you can and don't worry about position stuff. YOu just don't know when or where you're gonna need stuff year to year.
