bit blocking colleges game gone helped impact late looked people position running skill tight today using
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.
asked fact given hard perfect position positions problem risky terms throughout tight
I think the tight end position is probably one of the risky positions in terms of the durability, but that's given the fact of what they're asked to do. It's very hard, very hard to find the perfect tight end and durability is a problem throughout the league. Not just with our team, but a lot of teams.

He's got a strong foundation in terms of his family and very grounded, and we're very happy to have him as our No. 1 draft pick.
good hard learn lesson ownership respect takes wrong
He's going to learn another lesson the hard way, but we like Tank; he's a good kid. Wrong place, wrong time. At least he takes ownership for what he did. We respect that about him.

We made our phone calls. We just didn't get any answers.

He just didn't progress the way we thought he would. That's the short of it. I'm sure he's as disappointed as we are.

He'll be fine. The information that we got, we feel very solid about. In the end, everything should work out well.
evaluate obviously offense receiver running team unique value
That's a lot of money, but that's a unique offense. A receiver in that offense is obviously of more value than, maybe, a running back is. That's what each team has to do. They have to evaluate the positions.
agreement contract failure fair huge reach reasonable
The failure to reach an agreement on a fair and reasonable contract has been a huge disappointment.
confidence eulogy fans given ron sure team
I know a lot's being said about Rex, the eulogy of the team given that Rex is out. I want to make sure our fans know we're not here lamenting over Rex Grossman. It's unfortunate. ... We have a lot of confidence in our quarterbacks and (offensive coordinator) Ron Turner.
leave talked
These things take time. There are always two sides, and we're working through it as we speak. We've talked about proposals, and I'll leave it at that.
good strike
I don't know if we're going to strike fast. We have a pretty good nucleus so we're going to be very selective.
last
I don't know if it's really that much different than last year,
ideas domestic-violence cases
There were no hundreds and hundreds of cases of domestic violence. I would have no knowledge of that or have any idea how I would authenticate that. That was never the intent of the writer's conversation with me.
