Witten has always been number two whether it be behind Gonzalez or Gronk

Blocking is a luxury with modern tight ends. You can always stick a 6th lineman on the field to block, you can't find many giant guys with ups who can catch a 20 yard seam pass. You mostly want your TE to do a quick chip block on an edge rusher and go out for a pass

You can run a killer hurry up if you can effectively run or pass thanks to a pass blocking, pass catching TE like Gronk.

CyberPingu posted:Surely his primary job is dependent on the play call? Which is to catch passes 90% of the time because keeping prime Antonio Gates in to block is loving stupid and misusing him. That's why teams that have a really good TE typically run a lot of two TE sets. The Chargers did this a lot with Gates and Brandon Manumaleuna. I expect to see a lot of it this season with Hunter Henry and Virgil Green
