The tight ends have been a very important part of the offense for the New Orleans Saints this season.  Jeremy Shockey, David Thomas and Darnell Dinkins have combined to catch 71 passes for 825 yards (11.6 avg) with 6 TD grabs so far this season.  Shockey is the main man of this group as he has caught 48 passes for 569 yards (11.9 avg) with 3 TD grabs.  David Thomas has been really effective also despite being #2 on the depth chart as he has caught 22 passes for 254 yards (11.5 avg) with 2 TD grabs.  Darnell Dinkins is only usually used in goal line situations and short yardage situations as he is a good blocker.  He has only caught 1 pass for 2 yards but it went for a TD.  Look for the Saints to use the TEs a lot tomorrow if the Cowboys are blitzing a lot.
