2 TE Offense

[Teague31]

Guess I just realized this... we are running a 2 TE offense yet only had 2 TE's active on Sunday night. After all the talk of carrying 4-5 TE's I thought it was weird. I know Polite can play TE in a pinch but isn't it a big risk to have hannam active? if witten or fasano go down, don't you have to scrap your base offense? I understand that if you carry 2 kicker's someone gets benched, i was just surprised it was the third TE.

That is interesting. I seemed like Parcells wanted to get more speed and receiving ability against Washington. He utilized Crayton and the normal 3 WR formation a lot more. In fact, that was the most utilized formation on Sunday night as they used that formation 16 times, roughly 22% of the time.

Also, Fasano played a ton of fullback against Jacksonville and got his snaps there against Washington. He's really been a fullback for us so far who occasionally lines up at tight end (and doesn't carry the ball).

Essentially, they wouldn't be scrapping their entire base offense. But Fasano allows them to do a few more things and is a better receiver (and probably a better blocker) than Polite is.

As long as we have to carry 2 kickers into a game BP is going to have some hard choices to make as to who is active and who he has to make inactive and there are times it may hurt us within a game.

I didn't realize that - I have to say I'm surprised as well.
