"Don't disrespect Jake Tonges like that. Did you not see his touchdown catch last game? Eh, neither did Kyle Shanahan, who didn't have time to challenge a call that could have given Tonges his fourth TD, and it was moot once Christian McCaffrey scored on the next quick-snap play. Tonges can catch, but no one in the NFL can replicate Kittle's all-around ability, including as a run blocker and hype man (pregame, during the game, after the game)."
"No. Draft-pick compensation is rewarded for candidates who've been employed a minimum of two years "with no break in employment between teams." Robert Saleh, after four years abroad, indeed has been uplifting and inspiring in his second stint as defensive coordinator. He'll make a great head coach, if it's an opposite situation than what he had with the New York Jets, where ownership and quarterback issues plagued him."
George Kittle did not practice Wednesday but has a chance to play Sunday night against the Chicago Bears, and is unlikely to miss that game. Jake Tonges can catch, yet cannot replicate Kittle's all-around ability including run blocking and team leadership. Kyle Shanahan missed a challenge that could have awarded Tonges an extra touchdown. Robert Saleh departing would not yield draft-pick compensation because candidates must be employed at least two continuous years to qualify. The defense needs a pass-rushing X-factor; Bryce Huff, Keion White, Clelin Ferrell, Sam Okuayinonu and Yetur Gross-Matos seek their first playoff sack.
