Tremble Compared to George Kittle

Went back and watched NFLN's coverage of our picks to see their breakdown of them and it was all love, but the most interesting take to me?  Daniel Jeremiah, who I really like and respect, said Tremble reminds him a lot of George Kittle when he was coming out of college.  

If he can become THAT or even close?  A reliable pass catcher, combined with his athleticism and nasty streak...  My God.

Edit: sorry for the initial typos that I hopefully corrected, my kids are up and blasting Gangam Style (with dance party) from Alexa and I can't hear my own thoughts.😂

I caught that too when Jeremiah was talking about him.  His blocking skill is awesome.

In another post someone posted the athletic traits scores where he scored well.  The goals of our draft team seems to put a huge value on this score.  Tons of highly athletic players.   I am sure they'll work with him to at least make him a threat as a receiver.

Didn’t like this pick...will obviously cheer for the guy to succeed but I’d caution that we do this every year...compare guys to the best at their position to get us pumped up...Kittle?? That’s such a long shot at this point...I hope y’all temper these expectations

Not sure about that comparison.  Kittle had amazing hands coming out of college, and if there were doubts about him it was in relation to his blocking.  Tremble is just the opposite.  Doubts about his hands, no doubts about his blocking.

Which is funny, bc I watched the post-rounds presser and when they asked Fitterer about what traits the players we picked so far shared, he said stuff like leadership, loves the game, has an edge, great teammate, great work ethic, etc.  And then Rhule followed him up immediately and said athleticism.  And I think he said something like, when we know they have transferable athletic traits that carry over from college to the pros, it's easier to develop their football skills.  So, yeah, it's clearly something we are targeting and we prioritize.  From the metrics people have shared showing how athletic our guys are compared to the rest of the prospects, even compared to previous drafts, let alone the current one, to Rhule actually stating it, it's clear we have stepped into a new era...  and I love it.

I know Rhule wanted advanced analytics at the forefront, as did Tepper, and it seems Fitt was the perfect fit (pun intended) to punctuate the direction in which we were going.  Seattle was doing this stuff for years ahead of many other organizations and it's how they found guys like Kam Chancellor and Sherman in the later rounds and turned them to all-pros.

Well, it wasn't my comp lol.  Still, maybe he was referring to frame and measurables/potential?   Tremble's athleticism is mentioned all through his scouting report.

I got pooed 20ntimes for expecting him to be able to catch to be drafted in the 3rd round lol.

I dont mind the pick, but i think we reached a little bit if he is only a blocker.

Except the biggest thing we need right now is blocking  ..and the guy is a hungry violent beast just looking for someone to hit.

He's not an LT, he's not an LG. He's not OL.

Hes not a WR. He's not an RB. I don't even like him being called a TE. I think he's that by default. He's a big FB.

He's a mobile hitman on offense who's primary job will be to block/pancake as many people as possible to protect the QB and pave a path for the run game.

Does he catch? Maybe. Can he get better at receiving? Maybe. That would be gravy. The guy is a heavy hitter who can be an absolutely crucial asset to the offense.

He has very limed tap and snaps but he can run routes and catch. He's just on another level blocking though.

yeah, ive been seeing more and more that he's very underrated in that regard. i hope he is, but i'm just excited about that bashing. would be great to have him be someone you could dish the ball off to. i'd work him hard with receiving coaches but also with the RBs. dude could be a short yardage monster.

      Jaycee LOCKDOWN Horn is due for a breakout year

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.

      I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce
