Texans | Kubiak still trying to get Putzier to improve his blocking

Dale Robertson, of the Houston Chronicle, reports Houston Texans head coach Gary Kubiak is still trying to get TE Jeb Putzier to improve his blocking. Kubiak said, " He's got to get better at the line of scrimmage if he's going to be a down-in, down-out player. I've been telling him that for four years, Hopefully, I'll be telling him for 12. He knows where his deficiencies are. But he also knows how to use his strengths." The team would like Putzier to block, but they don't need him to. Putzier can give the team offensive productivity, something Kubiak wants from the tight end position. As a result, Kubiak has an advantage over the other tight ends on the team.
