As for advice on how to handle himself this week, Charles said he mostly has gotten that from tight end Tony Gonzalez. "(Gonzalez) just said to first stay focused," Charles said. "He’s a Hall of Fame tight end, so I listen up. "And he’s been telling me how to protect the ball. That’s why I fumbled the ball (last week). I wasn’t concentrating on protecting it. "I was trying to do too much. I did a good job before that in the game, protecting the ball. I was just trying to break a tackle when I fumbled. I needed to get (the ball) high and tight. I didn’t do that but I will from now on."
