.....in our thinking on this topic as well. My problem is secifically with TE's though.
SE and RB going out on routes aren't so much a problem as you pointed out. On my snap stop the cover man or zone defender in that area, has to decide how to play the reciever he has; turn and run, hold him up (I let them do this without penalty) or let the reciever go to someone else.
TE's present a problem for me becuase they often have a DE line up over them in my nine man schemes. Thus, getting off the line is difficult if not impossible unless they are angled before the snap. DE's do not drop into coverage very often if ever. So, if I angle the the TE to get him out I eitehr have to slide the protection to his side or rely on a back to pick up an unblocked DE, neither of which has proved very successful resulting usually in a quick release by the qb; I don't get many sacks in my multi stop system. I have thought about allowing the TE to be pivited when engaged after the snap. This would slow up the DE for the back or slide and allow the TE to get into a route.
HMMMM, well, now that I've described this to you it actually sounds very realistic. What I need is more sacks. Solved my own problem on one hand and found another I guess.
