Q: You guys have run through quite a few tight ends since 2006. Can you talk about David Thomas?

A: “You talk about a great (trade) and obviously if Billy Miller doesn’t get hurt it probably doesn’t happen, obviously. What he’s been able to do especially with Heath (Evans) getting hurt a couple weeks back, his ability to be so versatile and play multiple tight end positions as well as fullback position. We ask him to block out of the backfield, block as an in-line tight end. We ask him to do a lot in protection in the backfield. We ask him to run routes from the tight end position as well as split them out and have them run routes. He caught a few in the game last week basically as a split out and then check downs out of the backfield, he had a couple of big third down conversions. He’s as versatile as they come. He’s so smart and he gets it. He picks it up very quickly. He works at it and he’s been a great, great addition.”

The thomas trade was great.
