We need u to live it up Monday fasho bro 🐻🔽
AYYYYY ITS CHICAGO’S VERY OWN PEOPLE CHAMP 🐻⬇
Poor guy. Has to waste his whole career on the bears. Hopefully he will get to play for a good team someday
Enjoy 2 weeks without your QB 😂
As big as he is..he doesn’t have the strongest hands
. . . and he could run with a lot better lean — with more power. I wish the Bears had a coach that would get him to do that.
I love Kmet. He’s a great blocking tight end. Fields is gonna enjoy playing with him for a loooooong time. 🐻👇🏻
Delusional
No. Not “delusional.” With the proper coaching (and the work ethic each player has exhibited) it could be a long and successful run.
@Thomas Gena No. Thinking Cole Kmet is good is delusional.
@James His season (and those that follow) will tell the story. So, we’ll see.
You have to catch the ball
FIRE MATT NAGY!
Catch the damn ball go watch gronk tapes
Best advice, yet!!!
People want this guy to be something he’s not. He doesn’t have much speed, he doesn’t get much separation on routes and he’s not a great receiver. Kmet is big, strong and is decent at blocking. Shouldn’t of been drafted in the second round
@Newnew Johnson Time is not frozen on these players. TE is one of the “easiest” positions to improve within because a lot of different styles of play are utilized in the NFL.
@Thomas Gena Id pick graham, horsted and holtz to start over kmet. Kmet runs and catches like a glass box. There’s not much NFL coordination in his ability as a TE
@Thomas Gena IT’S EITHER YOU GOT IT OR YOU DON’T AND NOTHING IN KMETS 2YRS OF PLAYING IN THE NFL HAS REMOTELY SHOWED ME HE’S ANYTHING BUT A BELOW AVERAGE TE WITH BAD HANDS,ROUTE RUNNING AND SPEED…… ALSO HE GETS BULLIED MY MUCH MUCHHHHH SMALLER DB’S YEAHHHHHHH HE AIN’T IT CHAMP SORRY NOT SORRY IT IS WAT IT IS 🤷🏿♂️👎🏾
@Matt Hix ABSOLUTELY WOULD TAKE ANY OF THEM 3 OVER KMET IN A HEART BEAT BRO NOT EVEN CLOSE 💯✔🐻👇🏿
Let me set this record straight: you all are right. Kmet plays a weak offensive game — PERIOD.
If Cole Kmet had Darnell Mooney’s attitude, the NFL would have to make new rules to protect defenders.
Jesse James and Jesper Horsted are better receivers (but Kmet is the Bears’ best blocking TE — and he’s improving).
My point is: he’s not as bad as Nagy’s system has made TEs look. And his TEs’ coach is not doing anything effective to get Kmet into the habit of dropping his shoulder and hips, getting his weight going north-south, and go all George Kittle! Kmet’s 6-6, 260 lbs. Coach him up Clancy Barone — you’re the coach, earn your pay.
This is Kmet’s second season — and we’re not even halfway through it. Give the dude a minute to prove himself.
Time will tell who’s “right.” But once Nagy’s gone, (and takes Barone with him) I think you’ll see.
KMET HAS BELOW AVERAGE SPEED,DOESN’T CATCH VERY WELL,POOR ROUTE RUNNER THAT GETS NO SEPARATION,AND DROPS TOO MANY BALLS….. I HONESTLY BELIEVE HORSTED AND JESSE JAMES ARE BETTER TE’S THAN KMET AND NOW IT’S FINALLY STARTING TO SHOW. 🐻👇🏿
I can’t disagree with what you say. But other than the lack Kyle Pitts’ wheels, don’t you recognize these as “things a competent NFL TEs’ coach is paid to correct?”
Another reader gave Kmet some straight up killer advice: “Catch the damn ball go watch gronk tapes.” Clancy Barone should be on notice!
Stop dropping passes
Cole “you know” Kmet
He needs to improve his blocking
He is. He’s a lot better this year at engaging and staying locked on. His major problem seems to be indecision. Pick a defender Cole, and just destroy him. Isn’t that what George Kittle does?
One thing to live out the dream by just making the team. Another to become a legend in that dream…. ball out and become a legend for the Bears.
Great advice. And not even a single mention of “the tape” or “the whys.”
Too bad he has butter fingers with footballs at critical moments.
Looks good at Notre Dame but there’s no NFL x factor. Obviously the NFL is very competitive and awesome he got there. I just don’t think he can pull off a starting TE position. A little fragile for the NFL
I can’t disagree with your assessment. Despite prototype size, Cole Kmet has displayed very little power with the ball in his hands. His route running is anything but crisp, and he catches the ball.facing east-west more often than not.
The good news is that his blocking has improved, and he has shown.some strength, in those efforts.
Such shortcomings (particularly in a starter) reveal a lack of quality coaching of the Bears TEs. Clancy Barone needs to get his act together– and get Kmet to correct these and his other weaknesses.
This is only Kmet’s second season in the NFL, and the adjustments to speed and power can be difficult. But, concentration and effort originate with the player, on each snap. Barone’s job is to stay on Kmet until it all becomes instinctual.
Unfortunately. I have seen no evidence of even attempting to sharpen those pass pattern breaks. That’s not a good sign.

Block the right person. Catch the ball.
