With that said, as I said back then when I pointed to that stat, the main thing about his broken tackles #s was that it made me feel good about his toughness and ability to play through contact as a smaller guy.

As for the game, I'm obviously disappointed in his perfomance. I expected better, but I also don't think the book is closed on him after one game in his sophomore season. I think all of the young guys will be better with Kelce in th mix, and all Thursday did was prove they definitely aren't ready to be depended on quite to that level.

I'm not ready to eat crow just yet, but he needs to show some signs of growth the next couple of weeks, or I wouldn't be opposed to lowering his snap count.
Breaking tackles in the MAC may not translate to breaking tackles in the NFL
