his production in the last two seasons. But in the last five games he has just six catches for 31 yards and a touchdown.
"Weve been running the ball so good we havent really had to throw it that much," Franks said. "You dont really need to gripe right now."
Franks wasnt aware that he ranked as low as 12th in receiving yards (171) among tight ends in the NFC. Jeremy Shockey of the New York Giants, the leader with 535, might miss a month or more with knee-ligament damage suffered in Week 9.
If Shockey can return, he figures to be a shoo-in for one of the two Pro Bowl berths in the NFC. The other berth would be up for grabs because almost all the elite tight ends play in the AFC.
"I only have 20 balls; thats why Im 12th," Franks said. "Ive kind of got to forget about that right now and see what happens at the end. Its not looking good."

For the season, Franks has had 29 passes, Wesley Walls has had 13 and David Martin has had 10. Walls, with eight receptions for 100 yards, is headed for a career low. Martin has caught eight for 61.
When Franks made the Pro Bowl in 01, he ranked just eighth in yards (322) among tight ends in the NFC but was first in touchdowns (nine). Last year, he was fourth in yards (442) and first again in touchdowns (seven).
Now he isnt gaining yards or scoring touchdowns,
