@@crucxl4544 😂🤣 obviously bud. I read the question. The public disagreed to recognize arik Armstead as a pro bowler when he is arguably one of the best defensive tackle this year. Instead, they bypassed him for well known names. Anything else?
To point out Kittle's background a little bit. His Dad was an offensive lineman and Kittle went to college as a wide receiver. The TE position was just the perfect marriage for him.
As a fan who never played outside of backyard games this level analysis is completely new to me and I love it. You are my favorite new RU-vid channel of 2019 and I wish the big networks made time for content like yours instead of non-stop talking heads arguing the same tired old points around in circles. Keep up the great work.
If you like this kind of analysis Brett Kollman is great too. That's why I was so excited when I found Alex, it's great to have these high level football videos done on the 49ers every week.
I completely agree! Most of what we see on these big-name sports networks hardly even qualifies as "analysis"... While there are a couple decent shows out there, I would like to see them feature more in-depth analysis such as what Alex is doing here on his channel.. I just came across this channel a few weeks into this season, but I haven't missed an upload since. Keep up the great work Alex! We appreciate all the time and work you put into bringing us this content! I'm now a better football fan because of it.
@@AlexRollinsNFL - You're welcome, my friend.. You will always have my support. Just keep doing you, and I have no doubt that you'll accomplish your goal(s).. Happy Holidays, to you and yours!
WosGehtDauneee bro what? There’s literally an entire 14 minute long video you’re commenting on where he’s just pancaking defensive linemen... only time he’s gotta block a smaller DB is when the run explodes
You all need to go and watch Gronks highlights. The man caught everything and no one had an answer for him for years. Gronk had speed that was unimaginable and after losing a step he is still scoring multiple TDs in huge games after all the surgeries and injuries. Kittle is excellent, but no Gronk. Relax
Y'all remember what Gotlieb said, Kittle isn't a good blocker and heard this from NFL guys, he should have been fired as an analyst, and whatever "NFL GUYS" he allegedly talked too should be tarred and feathered and sent back to coaching highschool ball
No I must have missed that one... I love when people analyze players they obviously don't watch (Sup Couldn't make it as a Porn Star Stephen). I dare that dude to show me a tight end EVER that has been as good as both a receiver and a blocker in the run AND pass game. Also very good in the Play Action game as a runner himself on occasion. George the Animal IS hands down and I'll go a step further he's the best TE we have ever had, and we've had a couple good ones.
Fantastic breakdown of Kittle's play. I had no idea how good his blocking technique was. It's incredibly good. Kittle worked on functional strength in his first offseason, then bulked up in his second offseason. He also picked up yoga before this season which appears to have made him much more flexible and fluid. That probably helped both his routes and his blocking. He's constantly working on improving his body and his game. That's part of the reason for his greatness: constantly working to get better in multiple ways. Fortunately his teammates seem to be picking up some of his work ideas.
He was also raised by an O-Lineman who won a Rose Bowl and his mother is an Iowa hall of famer as a softball and basketball player. Sister is a Yoga instructor. Being a bad ass just kinda runs in the family, wonder what the next generation of Kittles will be like. 2040: Kittle's son throws for 6000 yards and 75 TDs, also leads the team in tackles and INTs plays every single snap on both sides and has 5 kick return TDs.
George Kittle is the best tight end in the NFL and I'm one of the 49ers I am a number one 49ers fan I live in Central Florida I've been a fan since the early 80s when they won the Super Bowls now I'm an older guy and I still love the great comeback they've done all through the years they're on top no matter what NFL's favorite team win lose or draw
Niners fan but I lived in Kansas for a bunch of years I have many good Chiefs fan friends and have enjoyed watching them during a couple eras (Montana and Alex Smith's time there especially, of course) I don't think Kelce loses in this he's a beast as well. Nowhere near as versatile but I think he's got a pretty solid lock on the best TE in the AFC and playing for a team flying relatively under the radar for a second while everybody talks about the "inevitable" Patriots Ravens championship game I am silently rooting for the Chiefs to get there it's been what 50 years? Edit: 49ers Chiefs would be a great super bowl, just sayin
@@brianharper6208 as a steelers fan I hope your right and NE makes it nowhere near the Superbowl for there 7th trophy (1 above us), but realistically if a team beast him once, they will not best Belicheck again.
@@ab3040 that's not actually that realistic at this point. The Patriots are flawed as hell ATM we can talk up Belichick all day long but they're not that invincible team anymore and he's not invincible either I would bet you money if they see the Ravens again they lose again.
Oh.... And now you can do one showing the difference. Warner held that defense up after people started dropping off, do one on how different the defense looked with and without Kwon/Tartt/Ford out there and how important Fred Warner was to us still winning 13 games. Maybe even throw in a bit about the evolution of Dre Greenlaw?
All NFL Defensive players check under their bed for Kittle before they go to sleep. He's a monster. He is the physical representation of how much heart this Niner team has.
Kittle is the type of player I wish we could keep until he decides to hang them up but regardless of what happens I will be a fan of his no matter who he plays with. This was a masterful explanation on what makes him so great.
I Bleed Red&Gold the Niners will NEVER let him go you kidding me? Gronk never left the Pats cuz of Belichick and Brady. Would he leave when he LOVES Shanahan and Garoppolo?
As. Die Hard Seahawks fan, I have nothing but mad respcect for Kittle. This dude is an absolute monster . He is thee best TE in the NFL. I would be thrilled if he ever came up to Seattle and became a Seahawk.
Anyone who argues for Kelce being the best needs to watch this video, then watch The QB School Patreon breakdown of the Chiefs Raiders game. Kelce is a HORRIBLE blocker and that matters. Never mind Kittles insane route running, YAC ability and speed. Being able to win 1 on 1 pass pro vs elite edge rushers and single handedly dominate a game run blocking even if he doesn’t have a big pass catching day separates him
Bro you're so delusional it's funny. Kelce is definitely the best tight end in the NFL... Kelce is not horrible at blocking AT ALL, you have obviously never watched him. Kittle is better but kelce is right behind him. Kelce is WAYYYY better at getting open instead of Kittle, and he some how manages to get back to back to back to back 1000+ receiving yard seasons while being judged between Tyreek hill and Sammy Watkins.
The Dude He’s not delusional. He’s just making his point like you are. Even though Kelce has more experience and time in the NFL, He’s always been a great TE for the chiefs (thus never been released by them.) but Kittle took the NFL by storm as well on his debute, Practically pulling a Gronk.
The Dude Kelce is a considerable worse blocker than Kittle he’s not horrible, but he’s not great he’s ok. But Kittle is 5 years younger. I would agree Kelce is a better route runner, but Kittle is very good too. I would rather have Kittle he’s more complete and 5 years younger.
Kittle overall is a fantastic tight end, person, and playmaker. He has all the traits that you need out of a football player, while also having a lot of lighthearted moments to keep him down to earth and incredibly likeable. I think we found an absolute diamond in the rough, and he will be a crucial part of the 49er organization for years to come. ⛏⛏⛏⛏
He's my favorite player in the league but I'm so sad he and our team didn't win a ring today. He had at least 4 tds taken away from him because of unrelated penalties and his 40+ yard catch in the SB was taken away too. Also, you should make an episode just on his receiving ability
@@dannggg Probably right, just saying I'd be curious to see him and prime Gronk having a friendly competition in the weight room. Either way yeah, faster and more versatile. P.s. don't apologize to Patriots fans, they're all going to pick a new team here within the next couple years that's how they work. Heck, I'm sure some of them have already quietly become 49ers "fans" by buying a hat and telling their friends they've been with us for life.
@@brianharper6208 every fanbase has those not just ne. But he said apologize to gronk fans not Pat's fans which also includes those outside of ne. Attention to detail. But yes kittle is faster he ran a faster 40 time but not as strong. Doesnt matter though since blocking is also about technique which he seems to have.
At first I thought you did objective analysis, as you have some very good breakdowns of players entering the draft, which brought me here. But to see all the dozens of 49ers videos, and your claim that George Kittle is anywhere near Gronkowski, it's clear you're just a 49ers homer. Also, Kelce is a better tight end than Kittle even now. Stick to objective analysis. This is malpractice.
I don’t know what is more impressive: George Kittke’s brilliance or this analysis. Keep it up! Can you make a video comparing all the best tightends and who is the best at every skill (catching, YAC, blocking, etc)?
KITTLE, Up The MIDDLE To The SUPER BOWL!!!! Have a Fantastic Saturday the 11th., and watch the Vikings bite the bullet!!!! Thank You Alex for posting this awesome video!! SuperSniperSal The GUNNY USMC Disabled Vet
He makes the 49ers exciting to watch again. (This has been a great year so far for them.) (We play the Vikings in about 3 hours from now.) Go 49ers...to the Super Bowl ! This is your year to win again !!! Shout out to Jimmy G. You ROCK dude !
Mark Andrews might have something to say about that, and the are extremely similar. The only argument I have is that Andrews is number one target on the Ravens and leads the team in touchdowns, receptions and yards. The Ravens are only 24 points away from out scoring the 99’ Rams who put up 526 points in a season. Andrews is a big part of that and the Ravens base offense is a three tight-end set requiring Andrews to block quite a lot. I absolutely love Kittle but my man Mark Andrews is right there with him.
Andrews is a stud, but kittle has more yards this year, even missing two games. Kittle is a better blocker. Insane yac like the video pointed out. I think the top TE are 1a kittle 1b kelce 2 andrews 3 ertz 4 waller 5 Engram
Cant really say best, kelce...Kyle Rudolph if viking use him more than a blocker. 49ers wr are average. Nowhere near Thomas, Beckham, thielen, Diggs, healthy cooper, jones, Ridley..so on..which give kittles more chance..49ers just have an better defense than offense my opinion.
Your drunk. Gronk was worlds better than Kittle will ever be. If Aaron Hernandez was a normal person and stayed in the league, u could make an argument that Kittle and Hernandez were similar. Kittle is not better than Gronk was, not even close. It's NOT EVEN CLOSE. Everytime a great player comes along people are too quick to call them the best. Let's not forget what Gronk did to every team for all those years and is STILL playing, scoring multiple touchdowns in huge games like the Superbowl, after all the surgeries and injuries. SMH
lol at least travis kelce can make a long catch with out having a pass interference...and kelce can actually win the super bowl... lol kittle is good but not the best
Kelce has Mahomes... Kittle got the all time receiving record with a 3rd string QB and is a much better blocker than Kelce. Pretty obvious who´s the better TE
@@latrell_996 yeah kelce has mahomes but you got to remember that mahomes has hill, Watkins, robinsin, and hard man. He could set that record in no time if his only target was kelce. but because the cheifs has just straight speed demons he is targeted but mahomes has other option, u guys have debo(dont get me wrong he is good), he wont really get that many targets. Also kelce got 1336 yards in 2018, and kittles all time is 1377, which is like 40 yards. Sooo im pretty sure we know who is better now...
Joe Verv yeah kittle is better. He had 3 QB’s throwing to him none as good as Mahomes. That pass interference was BS and winning the super bowl is a team effort. Kelce wasn’t even that good in the super bowl.
You need to play plays at normal speed more. I like when you slow things down, and you should still do that, but then you should play them normal so you can see it at real life speed in action. I think it'll make the video cleaner
Brittle Kittle. The guy just can’t stay on the field or doesn’t want to…..smh I just can’t believe he’s doing everything he needs to do to get and stay healthy. You’d think a guy that has had this many problems would be humble when he plays… Nope, he acts a fool after one simple catch for a 1st. A leopard can’t change its spots and neither can Brittle Kittle.
I always thought of Vernon Davis when watching Geoge Kittle. The difference to me between the two is that Kittle is a more physical route-running receiver than Vernon Davis. They both are great run blockers
You also never see Kittle complaining after a game or bickering with the coach or QB if he has a game with few targets. Shows he really just loves the game itself and is just having fun playing the game
Dude how does your video only have 100k views? As someone that has never touched a football but likes watching it on TV, this is literally the best explanation I have seen for how the game works. Thank you and keep up the good work!
@@thedude1056 Kelce is very good. He's probably better pure route runner with better jump ball skills. But Kittle is the best TE in the game. Kelce is playing with IMO the best QB in the NFL and Kittle is in a more run first type offense. Kittle does more with less.
@@waterbear1087 Bro, Kelce also has a top 5 receiver in the league and 3 other #1-#2 able receivers lined up all around him, and he still manages to be 4th in the NFL in yards receiving. Kittle WILL be the best TE in the NFL in the upcoming years no doubt, but right now Kelce still has him beat.
@Tiber Zeek Bro, Kelce is not as good at Kittle at blocking, kittle is amazing, but Kelce is a close second. People who think Kelce can't block hasn't seen him.
Another great video! 👍 can’t get enough. I really like seeing the play art and the concepts they are trying to accomplish. Then seeing the chess match play out with the run game and play action off of it. Fun stuff.
I swear Jimmy G makes such bad throws when the WR/FB/RB/TE's are wide the F open. When its 3 man coverage he is like "ok, lets put it there". Blows my mind sometimes.
Yeah, I'm fairly critical of Jimmy G, some of his interceptions are pretty shocking. Notice when he makes those poor throws, Shanahan runs the ball like 10 times in a row.
Kittle is great don’t get me wrong but Travis Kelce is the best tight end. Even scored a TD in the super bowl. Kittle might be a better blocker but Kelce is a much better receiver and all around player. People think Kittle is better just because he plays for a bigger market. And the only reason Kittle had better stats in 2019 was because Kelce has to contend with the likes of Tyreek Hill, Sammy Watkins to get the ball. Just look at his 4 straight 1000 yd seasons. Kittle hasn’t done that yet
Kittle hasn’t even been in the league for 4 seasons. Kelce is not a much better receiver they are extremely even in receiving. Granted kelce is a bette red zone threat and route runner but kittle is very good at that as well. Since kittle excels in receiving and blocking making him the all round better player. Your reasoning for stats is flawed. Kittle missed three games and posted amazing stats in a run heavy offense. KC has a pass heavy offense with a much better QB throwing to them. Yes they have a lot of weapons but kelce is one of the best and also gets a lot of targets.
This vid right here just completely destroys the conversation between kittle and kelce loll, kelce couldn’t do half of what kittle does, kelce is legit a bigger and slower WR Lmaoo. Kittle is faster, stronger, better at YAC, better hands and miles better at blocking.
@@YoMamaWazHere he's a helluva a player that Kittle, but we came inches away from going 2-0 against your team this year. We'll see you soon I'm sure, like maybe 2 weeks.
Dont you all seachickens fans and their delusional claims that Will Dissly is better than Kittle? That's about as bad as those SEC fans who believe LSU and Alabama can beat a NFL team.
I'm a Hawk fan but I wont lie, the 49ers are in an excellent place, a great defense and offense and George Kittle I love because he truly loves the game. He a genuine article!
