Default How important is the Tight End in Your Schemes

In the DFW League, Jason Witten is considered among the best tight ends in the league. He has the ability to slide off a linebacker and go upfield. For my Dallas Cowboys, he is a very important part of our offensive schemes because he does a lot of his damage over the middle.

With arrow bases being allowed for 2 offensive players on our team, I just look at this base with a single clip rookie underneath as the consummate TE base. This season, we are thinking if he can average 6-8 catches per game with a 9-12 yard average, it will definitely make it difficult to cover Terrell Owens and Terry Glenn lined up wide.

Do you put your Tight End in one-on-one situations to slide off the LB to get underneath? Is your tight end a intrigal part of your offensive attack? What type of base do you use on your TE? What is considered successful for your TE for your team to win a championship?
