Jerry and Lovie always say that we're a "running football team Maybe with two less o-linemen in front of benson he can actually find the hole.

Search is on for another tight end for our running game Is this guy a better blocker than Gilmore? At 6-6, 270 pounds, he's bigger than Gilmore, so he is a big body.........but can he block is the question. We don't need him to catch just block.
