Default The TE Position Is As Important As All Others

There are no elaborate TE schemes on this end. I prefer to run the two TE set. This makes my QB feel more comfortable in the pocket. My TEs are primarily used as blockers, but never approach them as JUST pass blocking TEs.

I generally use a TTC base for the TE position. The TTC base gives you the flexibility to display the various characteristics of this position. A well rounded TE must be able hold blocks on D-lineman, hold blocks for a short period of time and then slide off into the open and sometimes release themselves quickly from LBs or CBs.

Remember, usually the best cover guys are matched-up against WRs, so that can leave your TE (if tweaked and/or positioned properly) with an advatange on passing plays.
