Over/Under Week 3 - George Kittle
After scoring zero TDs in his first two games, will the SF TE finally find the end zone in week 3?
Video transcript
- George Kittle, we're looking at the Sunday night game, and the line is half a touchdown. Is he just going to find the end zone here? I seem to be the Twitter representative for George Kittle. When people have complaints, they come to me. I seem to be the Kittle complaint department. And I've heard you, and all I want to say, is anybody complaining about George Kittle after two weeks, you do not deserve him. This is a 1,300-yard receiver. This guy has been great. He is a set it and forget it tight end.
He's caught eight of his nine targets so far. Yes, it was a quiet week too, but he was fine in week one. He is not your problem. And now, he gets a match-up with a Green Bay defense that's already given up three touchdowns to opposing tight ends, that's given up seven passing touchdowns overall. He is going to find the end zone here. Of course, I am taking the over. Matt, do you agree?
- Yeah, I mean, the core of my glasses here are fogging up because I got myself so riled up in the last segment talking about the 49ers off. I just need to open things up. That includes George Kittle. I am also going on the over here. The Packers have allowed three tight end touchdowns so far this year. We know the Saints absolutely rip them up from the tight end position. Then another representative of tight end U, TJ Hockenson, got him in week two.
Kyle Shanahan, you need to have George Kittle running more routes. He's only running routes 76% of Jimmy's drop backs right now. Enough of these little screen plays and all of that. You're not going to beat a good team like the Packers with that. So I think they've got to get George Kittle going in this spot. Absolutely, I'm going over here.
- Tank, let's sweep it.
- Man, the inner hater in me so badly wants to go with the under, but I got to go over, man. I mean, they're going against, who? Cheese, from the old school references. I mean, that Green Bay defense is terrible. And we already know that the only guy that Jimmy Garoppolo has to throw it to is George Kittle in Deebo Samuel because the dude formerly known as-- I don't even I don't even think I can say his name anymore. He doesn't exist. So they only have two wide receivers. and so he's bound to get a touchdown this week. George Kittle, get him in your lineup.
- Yeah, that's two sweeps for the over so far. We'll see if Mindy can thank that later in the show, Liz.
