Offense puts fans in the stands and defense wins championships.
Defensive players are tough, nasty, mean.
Uhh, Bob, this is about an offensive position, you say.
True. The offensive line is where it all starts; they’re the closest ones in Jerry Kill’s room to defenders in mentality. QBs are pretty boys, wideouts are showy, running backs sign autographs. But tight ends....they work for a living.
Rutgers has had its share of quality tight ends starting with the recently recognized Marco Battaglia, LJ Smith, Clark Harris, Tim Wright, Andrew Baker. And in Bob's world, tight ends are the best thing since sliced bread and the pop top beer can.
