Falcons May Ask Gonzalez To Block More
Oct 9, 2014 7:10 PM
The Falcons might ask future Hall of Fame tight end Tony Gonzalez to block more than he has in the past.
"Tony will help our offense in a number of ways," Atlanta offensive coordinator Mike Mularkey said recently. "One thing he's going to do is that he's a productive blocker and that's important in our offense ... As successful as he's been as a receiver, he's a good blocker too and he really doesn't get the credit that he should."
Gonzalez is the NFL's all-time leader among tight ends in receptions (916), touchdowns (76) and receiving yards (10,940).
He doesn't seem to care if he's targeted less than he was in Kansas City; he simply wants to win.
"I'm here for one reason, that's to win a Super Bowl." Gonzalez said at an introductory press conference. "I haven't won a playoff game in my whole career and that's something I'm going to make sure isn't the end for me. I want to come here, go to the playoffs, win playoff games and go to the Super Bowl."
