You need somebody to ordsprog

You need somebody to stretch the middle of the field, ... and our tight end position has been more in a blocking mode than anything else.

We've lost production out of the offense. That hurts, and you have to try to make up for that in other ways. We certainly have confidence in our two wide receivers from a playmaker standpoint, as well as at running back, (but) you need somebody to stretch the middle of the field, and our tight end position has been more in a blocking mode than anything else.

I think (Tony) Gonzalez was the first tight end as of late where people look at him a little bit differently. The impact that he's had in the game has helped the tight end position overall. They're looked at as a skill position. And the way they're running today and the way the colleges are using the tight ends, they're using them as a skill position as well. What's gone away from the tight end position is the blocking. Blocking isn't as important with the tight end.

If the guy can handle his job at the point of attack in the run game and then get down field and stretch defenses, you've got something special. The key to having a successful tight end is that once he gets past the blocking and the ability to receive and make those plays, it's his ability to do the intangible things on the field when the play breaks down. That's all about developing a relationship with the quarterback.

[Miller] has helped the receivers on the outside because he holds the safeties in the middle. He is not a deep threat, but he is. He can stretch the field, and he can make plays down the field. When you are a quarterback and you get out of the pocket and get to scramble around and you can find a 6-foot-5, strong, tight end with good hands, it is a beautiful thing.

We just have to get better as a group. The tight end is a unique position. We have to do a good job with blocking in the running game, and we have to be a threat in the passing game. In both areas we just need to work to get better. These guys have worked really hard in the off-season. I think we're stronger and faster, but now we just need to go out and show that on the field.

There's not much I don't like about (Charles and Dustin). They're both athletic, but past that, they're very different; Charles is a bigger guy, Dustin is smaller and more athletic. Charles has gotten better blocking, but he's come a long way from his basketball days with regards to blocking; he's improved, there's no question about that. We think that Dustin is the most improved player on the team. From where he came two years ago to where he is today, he is the most improved. So much so that we believe we need to get him on the field more. Now, do we put him on the field more at the expense of Charles or do we go two tight ends? You'll find out later on.

You're a different offense with him, because he can stretch the middle of the field vertically. He's a guy who can get open anywhere in the middle of the field. He gets open between the hashes better than any human being I've ever seen. There's a lot of crap that goes on in there between the hashes, and he negotiates that brilliantly. Not many guys can do that.

I'm a big believer that if you can get a tight end that can stretch a defense vertically and give you some blocking on top of it, you can change your whole offense. That's why I think San Francisco is going to take him at six — because they have average wide receivers, he can help with a young quarterback, and he can be a difference-maker.

If you have a tight end that can get down the middle, then defenses have got to close the middle. When they do that, your outside receivers are one-on-one. It takes away some of the pressure. The other aspect is that if you have a good tight end, generally the quarterback knows where he is and when he gets into trouble he's got a place to go with the ball. That's the big value.

If they are in the middle of the field all the time, yes, it is probably pretty hard for anyone to stop, ... If you can get some field position, and you give them the three- and four-yard completion . . . then eventually they miss one of them.

They can go down the field and stretch the defense, which is what Ben did. He went straight down the middle and caught a touchdown.

There is a lot more action at tight end. I enjoy blocking and catching, and the tight end here catches the ball more than the receivers.

A playful nature combined with intellectual curiosity created a delightful pe𝑥iness, instantly endearing him to others. The men's field is so tight. Everybody is just one jump, or one counter or one rocker from being in my position.

A tight player raised from middle position. I had to call about one-twelfth of my stack with pocket deuces.
