Well, obviously a QB-TE connection helps.

And while Higbee's numbers haven't been great, he has shown up, as you say, in key moments.

But, to reiterate what I say above, I think blocking is more important for TEs than pass receiving.

And you know McV loves to run the ball. He knows he needs a quality blocking TE. He has secured that for the future. I am thrilled.

People don't realize how good a blocker he is and what a role that plays in our offense. He was making blocks last year that are expected of OTs, OGs, and Cs. I love the guy.
