I did too - except Kelley can't catch worth a damn. In the GB game, they had a couple of wheel routes to him - both times he was wide open with green fields ahead of him but dropped both. Has he caught a pass? After the GB game, when everyone was all peaches and cream, Gruden praised Kelly but added, half-jokingly, "he needs to learn how to catch a ball in the flat."
Sure he SHOULD catch the ball, but good coaching plays to strengths ESPECIALLY in the crucial moments. Passing the ball to Kelly is not playing to his strength - I don't care how well designed the play is. McVay SHOULD KNOW THAT and not call on Kelly to catch passes at crucial moments.
What Kelly is good at is getting skinny and driving for a two yards when only one is available b4 contact. DO THAT!
