TE Gonzalez: could we use him? - New England Patriots Forums

***ALP*** · 09-18-2008, 12:01 PM

so...how good of a blocker is he?

watson is hurting, and neither watson nor thomas are too spectacular blocking....how is Tony at it?

he is getting up there in years, and does not have a ring...and plays for the lowly chiefs...could we pry him from KC for a moderate contract?

im asking this mainly for his blocking abilities...

Do you know something we don't???? Is he on the block?

He's a top 5 TE (not sure about blocking though)

Would he take a pay cut? I'd give up a 2nd rounder for him if he'd be willing to give up some cash for a ring.

He's not on the block as far as I know and he isn't too good of a blocker. That would be a complete waste of a second rounder. Why not just keep it for a better trade offer/free agent/draft pick?

Circumstantial evidence, but he's blocked on the line that helped Larry Johnson to some very productive seasons. I wonder whether he'd 'fit the system' in these parts, especially in the passing game. I certainly don't know enough about football to even pretend to grade his blocking, though.
