Tight ends making strides
With Ryan Izzo heading to Injured Reserve on Thursday, it thrust rookies Devin Asiasi (23 snaps) and Dalton Keene (31 snaps) into the fire against the Chargers. Tight ends coach Nick Caley likes the progress the duo has made, but still sees plenty of room for improvement.
"I thought overall Devin did a great job of preparing throughout the week," said Caley. "He's been working hard to put himself in a position to come and play a decent amount of snaps.
"He played a fairly clean game, obviously things we've got to improve on overall in general for him as well, but I thought he worked hard, he tried to play tough in the run game and do some different things that we had asked him to do throughout the week. He was locked in and had a good focus for 60 minutes. He was ready to go."
Keene played an even bigger role than Asiasi, as the two third-round picks are finally getting more game experience.
"Fundamentally, Dalton's taken a lot of pride in just playing with better pad level in the run game and working on his techniques," said Caley. "He's always ready to go, he works extremely hard. It's just continuous improvement from week-to-week is what I've seen in general. That's the focus continuing to move forward really."
It's been a challenging season on multiple levels, especially for two rookies who have both had stints on Injured Reserve, but Caley acknowledged the entire league is dealing with the same thing.
"I think certainly just across the league in general, it's probably a little more of an uphill climb for all rookies, just the lack of the off-season and preseason," said Caley. "Everybody's in the same boat and we're never gonna make excuses, we had to acclimate on the run a little bit sooner and grow up fast and that maturation project continues.
"Things are going to come up and the biggest thing is eliminating the repeated mistakes and I've been pleased with the growth from that standpoint."
