Is Gonzalez to Blame? - Page 3

I love Tony as much as the next guy, and this is pure speculation, but when Willie was out last year, didnt Tony take on more of a blocking role to protect the QB? I know Tony did a lot of bitching because he knows that he is more effective as a pass catcher........and I notice that Tony had 10 catches against the Bengals which means he wasnt doing a whole lot of pass protecting/run blocking.

Obviously our line suffered because our tackles suck, but did it also hurt that Tony (assuming......) made it clear to the new staff that he is a pass catcher and not a blocker?

So Tony who is our best pass catcher is at blame because we wanted him on the line blocking???

We have Dunn and a Full back if I recall. There are options out there besides making Tony block on 9 out of 10 plays.

We will have to lean on Gonzo big time for this game, and not as a blocker. Quick passes and lots of em.
