Tight Ends Coach George Godsey

(How did you sort of grade out your group in Week 1 and what they were able to do?) – “It ended up turning into a lot of passing with Michael (Gesicki) towards the second half. He had a lot more reps than maybe the other three guys but I think when you’re talking about the run game, certainly the tight end position is a main part of that, including Chandler (Cox) as far as the fullback goes. We’ve got to open those holes up a little bit more and add a little bit more space for the backs to run. I think we made some of those corrections so we’re moving on to Buffalo; but certainly there’s some room for improvement. It’s Week 1. That’s what we have to do from Week 1 to Week 2 to Week 3 and so forth.”

(In terms of the expectations as in-line guys, do you feel like you guys did enough against the Patriots?) – “When we started out running the football, we were getting a couple of yards – two or three yards – where we’d like to have more efficient plays there. Can we get that done? I think our guys can. Did they win some plays and did we win some plays? I think it kind of went a little bit back and forth; but certainly there’s definitely some room for us to improve here going forward.”

(I know we talked about it a little bit I guess throughout the offseason about TE Mike Gesicki and his blocking and trying to improve in that area. We got to see a little bit more in that area than maybe I thought we were going to. Where do you sort of see his evolution, particularly with this first game, as a blocker?) – “There are some things that look encouraging from a years perspective, and then there’s things that we’ve still got to keep working on. From my perspective too, I’ve got to do a good job of rolling those guys and getting maybe a few more reps from Durham (Smythe) and from Adam (Shaheen) so we can get the very best from Michael when his number is called and so forth – get the very best of Durham and Adam. It’s kind of a full realm of things that we can do to improve those guys. I think we’ll see a little bit more of that this week.”
