Liverlips Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Trying to gage my expectations. Why are the Dolphins so tough on the TE? Porter? I'm hoping for 60 and a touch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isleseeya Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Trying to gage my expectations. Why are the Dolphins so tough on the TE? Porter? I'm hoping for 60 and a touch. Dolphins have not played too many good tight ends ...and Gonzalez has been a beast I expect Gonzo will have another solid game again this weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTSuper7 Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Owen Daniels - 4 catches, 70 yards John Carlson - 5 catches, 50 yards Zach Miller - 4 catches, 67 yards Those appear to be the best games. They also faced Antonio Gates (1 for 12 yds) and Todd Heap (3 for 29 yds) earlier this year. I would argue that none of those TEs are as critical to their teams' respective offenses as Gonzo is to KC's (Maybe Miller is, but Oakland really blows). You'd have to have one heck of a good 2nd TE to consider benching Gonzo this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Dolphins have not played too many good tight ends ...and Gonzalez has been a beast I expect Gonzo will have another solid game again this weekend I hope they try and fail. That leaves more for Bowe. Their best chance is to rush the passer and hope he has to stay in and block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfish247 Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 (edited) EDIT: MTSuper beat me to it.... There's also Keller but it was week 1 and before he was even starting. So aside from Gates, the other 3 FF worthy TEs did ok. Certainly nothing to suggest Gonzo won't get his vs MIA.

Flip_Side Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Let me put it like this.... The fins are my team and I am in a salary cap league where I can almost start any WR/TE for flex position and I am picking Gonzo this week. We won't be able to stop him, he'll have a big game in my eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd have to have one heck of a good 2nd TE to consider benching Gonzo this weekend. Question is... was Gates still bothered by his injury(ies) during Week 5? And Heap has sucked all season. Can't compare him to Gonzalez (or even Daniels/Carlson/Miller for that matter) this season. I do agree with you that Gonzo is supremely important to his team. I suspect he'll have a fine game against the Fins. 5 for 65 with a score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
