I am getting awfully tired of our elite, all world TE being an afterthought in the game plan. I dont know if this is on Shanahan, the QB, him blocking a lot, the defense taking him out of the game (example: the Jennings TD when 3 or 4 defenders collapsed on Kittle), or a combination of all. But we need to get him involved.
I think Kittle is the best all around TE in football. But he needs to have the ball in his hands more. 9 targets in two games is unacceptable for an elite player.
Shanahan needs to dial up more plays for him. Especially with the running game as a huge question mark moving forward. We need the ball in our best players hands. Right now, thats Deebo and Kittle. We are doing a nice job giving Deebo his chances, but we need to do the same for Kittle. I am happy with 2 road wins but the offense we ran today isn't going to yield to many division wins.
