Die Saalfelds » George Kittle makes PFF’s Week 3 NFL team of the week

It was an awful day on Sunday when the San Francisco 49ers faced the Kansas City Chiefs http://www.authenticssanfrancisco49ers.com/cheap-joe-staley-jersey , because they lost what was becoming the heart and soul of the team, Jimmy Garoppolo, to an ACL tear. There was some good though: George Kittle. The tight end once again was catching balls all over the field. On the other side of the field, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce was a beast as well, getting over 100 yards, but he was great for different reasons. He was a great weapon for Mahomes to throw to (including a really NICE one-handed scoop-catch of the ball). While he got his http://www.authenticssanfrancisco49ers.com/cheap-marquise-goodwin-jersey , Kittle was downright trucking defenders, or just taking them with him until they were literally shed off like dead skin. So how good was it? He made Pro Football Focus’ Week 3 team of the week with a grade of 92.1. Here’s what they had to say about Kittle’s performance: A fifth round pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, Kittle has been awful busy his first two seasons. He’s climbing up charts as one of the league’s best tight ends and is going to get even more work now that C.J. Beathard is the starting quarterback going forward. Both were teammates at Iowa and Beathard found Kittle a lot in their rookie season during the QB’s stint as the starter. The Pittsburgh Steelers have some things to figure out this offseason, and the biggest is what’s next with wide receiver Antonio Brown. An offseason after spending a couple years wondering what is up with running back Le’Veon Bell, they find themselves in a potentially worse situation with Brown. Bell was exclusively about money, while the Brown situation seems to be something else entirely.Steelers team president Art Rooney chatted with local media on Wednesday and said that while there have been no trade discussions yet Youth Brock Coyle Jersey , it is not looking good for Brown to be on the roster next season.I wouldn’t expect Rooney to say if there had been trade rumors. Teams cannot make trades until the new league year starts on March 13th. Trade talks happen before then, but it is one of those open secrets that the league pretends isn’t happening, but knows it is. Previous reports said trade talks would begin at the NFL Combine, when virtually every major decision-maker from all 32 teams is in the same place. That being said, I would be surprised if there weren’t some preliminary discussions before then in the casual environment of the Senior Bowl or Super Bowl.It remains to be seen what a deal would cost or if one will actually happen, but the Steelers seem to believe they’ll have to do something at some point. Rooney said he has not had contact with Brown since the final week when everything went downhill in a hurry. I suppose it’s possible the relationship could get patched up at some point White Mike McGlinchey Jersey , but as it currently stands, it’s hard to see this thing getting worked out to a point where a trade does not happen.The 49ers are viewed by various bookmakers as the odds-on favorite to land Brown. The 49ers need another weapon and Brown has not hidden his apparent desires to head to the Bay Area. In the meantime, it’s safe to say he won’t be heading to Tampa to re-join his one-time offensive coordinator, Bruce Arians.
