Ever since the trade went through, I’ve been thinking about how the team will utilize Tony Gonzalez. Originally, I was worried that Mularkey simply didn’t like to use the Tight End. But Randy McMichael ’s 62 catches for the 2006 Miami Dolphins debunked that myth – he’ll use the Tight End when he has a playmaker at the position. Now with Dave’s profile up on Ben Hartsock...

via www.atlantafalcons.com There's no doubt in my mind that Tony Gonzalez is going to be the best tight end on the roster in 2009. He's got that Hall of Fame caliber set of hands, quality blocking skills and well-documented love of winning. We'll be talking about him all season, so I'm going to go in a little bit of a different direction today. Let's talk Ben Hartsock . Hartsock, as you remember, was...

Ben Hartsock, Von Hutchins Back In Action Tight end Ben Hartsock and giant cornerback question mark Von Hutchins are ready to go after suffering season-ending injuries in 2008. Hartsock will still be a major part of the offense, as he's one of the league's finest blockers. Hutchins will probably slot in somewhere on the cornerbacking depth chart, but where?

via cache.daylife.com Ben Hartsock is on injured reserve. Long live Justin Peelle! The Falcons find themselves in an odd situation. Without Hartsock around, Peelle is going to get his first chance to be a featured tight end on an NFL team. He's got a relatively small window at the end of the season to prove that he's good enough to stick around beyond this year. Personally, I find it hard not to root...

Ben Hartsock Placed On Injured Reserve Rotoworld hasn't sourced this yet, but it appears Ben Hartsock has been placed on injured reserve. The team has re-signed tight end Jason Rader. Hartsock will be missed for his terrific blocking skill in both the running and the passing game.. It's unclear how the Falcons will approach their tight end situation now, as Justin Peelle doesn't have a reputation as...

It took the birds in black signing a tight end who could, I dunno, catch the ball . The important thing is that Justin Peelle is finally getting involved in the offense, providing an alternative to pure-blocking tight end Ben Hartsock. The Falcons probably won't need Peelle as urgently this weekend, given that the Saints couldn't cover a Playboy with a nude picture of Ashley Judd. What's so encouraging...

BEN HARTSOCK and Jason Rader must have lost the phone number of the limo service. Hartsock and Rader are the Atlanta Falcons' tight ends. They caught no passes in a 27-14 loss to the Eagles last Sunday, a first for an opposing tight end corps against the Birds' defense this season. Going into the game, Eagles defensive coordinator Jim

In our roster breakdown about Falcon tight ends, new poster KillaBMF took one look at the three-headed stuffed animal that is Ben Hartsock, Martrez Milner and Keith Zinger and said "no thanks:" Im still trying to figure out why we r not trying to get Shockey.

They later swapped tight ends with the Falcons, losing Ben Hartsock to Atlanta while picking up former Falcon/Titan Dwayne Blakley. For the icing [...]
