FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. (AP) -- Tony Gonzalez is still bitterly disappointed in himself for allowing a sack for the first time since 1999.

The 13-time Pro Bowl tight end said Thursday that ''it was laziness on my part,'' ''embarrassing'' and ''inexcusable'' when Saints linebacker Junior Galette to sack Atlanta quarterback Matt Ryan for a 10-yard loss late in the second quarter of last week's loss at New Orleans.


''I was thinking, 'He's way out there (on the edge), and there's no way he can get to the quarterback,'' Gonzalez said. ''Matt's going to throw it by then, and I just had a slow, lazy kick instead of kicking it back there and getting aggressive with it like I should have, like I've always done.''
