Myles Garrett Game Planning & the Aaron Donald Comparison
At 23:17 · chapter starts 20:00
Travis brings up Myles Garrett joining the 49ers' conference, and Kittle immediately frames it the same way he thought about Aaron Donald when the 49ers played the Rams twice a year: you design a game plan around limiting the damage. [1] — Jason Kelce "At a Browns joint practice, Joe Patonii pointed out a shirtless Myles Garrett and asked Jason Kelce if he could believe they were the same …" 22:10 You keep runs away from him, you always have help-side blockers on him, and then you hope none of his supporting cast goes off. Jason caps the segment with a brilliant anecdote from a Browns joint practice: defensive coordinator Joe Patonii quietly tapped Jason on the shoulder, pointed to a shirtless Garrett across the field, and asked 'can you believe we're the same species?' Both Kittle and Travis agree Garrett is the closest thing to an alien anyone has seen play football, with cat-like reflexes and the ability to reach the quarterback in three steps.
At a Browns joint practice, Joe Patonii pointed out a shirtless Myles Garrett and asked Jason Kelce if he could believe they were the same species. Kelce called Garrett the closest to an alien he's ever seen play the game. Kittle's game plan: just hope he doesn't ruin the whole game.
Tight End U started as Kittle inviting retiring Greg Olsen to Nashville to watch film with 7 to 10 tight ends he was already training with. What was planned as a 20-person summit exploded to 50-60 guys as word spread. Now it's an annual institution.
