Geneaut Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 I can dig it. I don't know how much more he has in the tank, but he used to be a heckuva blocker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulitik Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Definitely helps our run game. Dude was a really good run blocker. Very cool. Dan Reeves will be redeemed if we get a ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borat Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Which pretty much confirms that Peele is hurt pretty badly and/or Palmer won't make it this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Sider Posted August 16, 2011 Author Share Posted August 16, 2011 Veteran tight end Reggie Kelly has returned to the team where he started his NFL career.A source told FOXSports.com that Kelly has agreed to contract terms with the Falcons. Contract details weren’t immediately available.Kelly, who entered the league with Atlanta as a 1999 second-round draft pick, is expected to play a backup role behind starter Tony Gonzalez. Justin Peele, who is Atlanta’s second-string tight end, is recovering from a knee injury.Kelly, 34, has played the past eight seasons for Cincinnati. He worked out last week for Pittsburgh.The Falcons also worked out NFL veteran Anthony Becht before opting to sign Kelly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PFF has him rated as the #15 pass blocking tight end from 2008-2010:http://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2011/06/16/2010-pass-blocking-efficiency-tight-ends/...Not every tight end's job is to go out and catch passes, you know.

rightsaidfred Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 It's homecoming for the 34-year-old who started his career as a Falcons second-round pick in 1999.It's a ceremonial signing, so that he can retire and go into the HOF as a Falcon..................NOT!!

blizzard_falcon Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 (edited) I think the coaching staff is well aware that Tony Gonzalez's blocking skills have greatly diminished since he arrived in Atlanta. It's one reason we used Will Svitek as a sixth offensive lineman often last season once Tony was kind of exposed in the Eagles game.I'm guessing this move is not only in response to Tony's diminishing blocking and Peele's injuries, but also because Palmer, Bransen and/or Winterswyk simply aren't ready to step in and fulfill that blocking TE role.
