VIDEO: George Kittle Delivered Nasty Pancake Block on Ricardo Allen and Laughed in His Face
By Karl Rasmussen
George Kittle is an absolute force in the trenches, and lining him up against a defensive back is simply not a battle defensive coordinators should be gambling on. The Niners' tight end absolutely silenced Ricardo Allen with a block on Sunday, forcefully shoving him backwards in the end zone. At the last moment of the play, the camera showed Kittle laughing like a maniac after sending Allen to the floor.
Yeah, that is definitely not a guy I'd want to be in a one-on-one matchup with on the goal line. Kittle took no prisoners here, as he embarrassed Allen with a perfectly executed block, and then added insult to injury by laughing in the face of the DB.
And yes, this block is highly watchable from any and all angles. MERCY.
For a team with so much swarming speed all over the field, it's almost unfair for them to have this much power in Kittle's oversized body, too.
