That's all well and good unless you're the TE getting drilled after the catch on a regular basis by a full speed safety. Those plays are for when you really need that ten yds. Not a sustainable offensive strategy long term.This seems like the same stinking mantra we (including me) say every year, and it doesnt happen much. It's a simple and effective strategy the we RARELY use. Drag the tall, wide bodied TE across the field with a hopefully slower, isolated LB following/or smaller DB if the TE is split. Advantage, tight end. Seems pretty easy, right? I'd like to see much more of this.
When I was coaching and we would play a team that ran option I would always say to the opposing coach " you guys run the option? You must have a bunch of QBs". When they looked at me puzzled I would say " your gonna need 'em playin' us" 😂😂😂
Most found out the hard way.
