Ok, I see what you mean. Yeah, he's always used lots of TEs, with several on the roster. In '91, there was Orr (#89), Middleton (#87), Johnson (#88), and Brandes (#82, also played long snapper). But as a receiver, as you said, yes, they were not much of a factor.
I was looking through the stats of Gibbs' offenses towards the last part of his tenure as head coach. There was a fairly significant drop off in pass receiving after Monk and Clark. I believe even Ricky Sanders was a distant third in catches for a season or two, with running backs and TE/H-backs not far behind.
