New TE... Old one was broken
http://www.nfl.com/draft/2013/profil...lce?id=2540258
OVERVIEW In high school, Kelce was a three sport star, but his best sport was always football. He was a three-year letter winner at quarterback, and earned All-Lake Erie League honors after totaling 2,539 yards of total offense and 31 total touchdowns as a senior. Kelce’s uncle Don Blalock played football at Purdue and grandfather Don Blalock played football at Ohio. Travis is the younger brother of former Cincinnati Bearcats and current Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce. In his first year on campus, Travis redshirted. In his redshirt freshman year, Kelce participated in 11 games as the tight end. He caught one pass for three yards. Kelce also played some quarterback, strictly in a Wildcat role. He logged eight carries for 47 yards and two touchdowns. Kelce did not play in 2010, as he was suspended for a violation of team rules. Upon his return in 2011, Kelce caught 13 passes for 150 yards and two touchdowns. In his senior season, Kelce put himself on the NFL prospect map, as he caught 45 passes for 722 yards and eight touchdowns. He was selected to the All-Big East first team for his play. ANALYSIS STRENGTHS Kelce has an ideal tight end frame. Athletic for his size, with great strength, and the ability to stretch the field vertically. Very physical run blocker, generates power from the lower half, and will move defenders off the ball. Plays with leverage. Wide catching radius, can adjust and make the difficult catch. Tough to bring down after the catch. Light feet, and has lined up in numerous different positions. WEAKNESSES Suspended for an entire season for violating team rules. Only one season of production. Doesn't have blazing speed. Not a tremendously explosive athlete. Doesn't come out of his breaks all that well. NFL COMPARISON Rob Gronkowski BOTTOM LINE Kelce has been a tremendous run blocker throughout his career for the Bearcats, but really elevated his game as a receiver in his senior season. He isn't a tremendous athlete, but he does a lot of things very well. It's a deep tight end class, but Kelce's play suggests that he should be highly sought after. |

I'd like to point out that even with the big game he had, Travis was getting guys open just by existing. They were hovering 2-3 guys over him on like every 3rd down, and Mahomes got it to the open man. And now with DHop, defenses are really gonna have to pick their poison.
If we get Juju and Pop back, I think this offense will be enough in the postseason. |

"Kelce had a 14-catch game Monday and it was noteworthy for a few reasons.
First, it was the most regular-season receptions in a game for Kelce. Those 14 receptions tied for the most in a “Monday Night Football” game. And no player aged 35 or older had a 14-catch game in NFL history." Guess he's not quite washed. Also this whole thread is still my most fave of all time here. The early takes are so amazing to go look back at and it never gets old. 10/10 will do it many more times |

it probably started like that because Rice was being the main guy and was doing big things and Kelce didn't have to take things over

I wonder what is going on with Kelce. At one point during the game, it looked like he might have been getting a "talking to" from Andy and after the game he went straight to the locker room and he didn't look very happy (didn't shake any hands, didn't hug Andy's wife like he normally does, gave a side eye to a camera as he walked back into the locker room). Hopefully it's nothing, but the last thing we need right now is discontent from any of the team leaders.

According to a few folks on here he flat out missed the block that allowed a free runner on Patrick on the 3rd and 2. Huge miss when we had nine guys into block on that play. If he got the talking to after that play it’s clear why he wanted to get off the field and get a head start on the Chargers next week.

He’s got the podcast every Tuesday that forces him to talk about the game, and I’m sure he’ll take ownership.
We know he’s an emotional dude. Hell be fine.

He wants to win comfortably as much as us. He had a great first half and struggled second half with his own mistakes, he’s just pissed off. Just as pissed off as most of us, nothing to worry about
