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? Reginald |

I was just wondering about the triangle base and this is a little off subject, but who made these originally and where can we get them now?
I personally like all the base shapes. Heck make on completely round for that matter.

The Arrow Base
The arrow base was created by Coleco (white) and Munro. I may be getting myself into trouble because most leagues look at these bases as illegal. Maybe after they read this post, they will begin to use them.
Anyhow, I paint the Coleco's green to match the color of the field. However Wolf, what we do is cut the prongs out and put in an old school rookie base. Not all of the base but we cut out the outline part that has the prongs on it and cement with superglue. Thus, you have a "Frankensteined" Tight End base which fits the build of what a TE should be. The Munros and Gothams have arrows as well. As you know, in the DFW 2 are allowed on offense and defense. The Shell is used in combination with an old school rookie base. When put on our FF.COM figures, the athlete zooms across the field. I've got players that run 100 yards in 2 to 3 seconds such as Terrell Owens, Jason Witten, and some of my DLinemen. In a one-on-one situation, the TE takes on the LB and then manuevers past him to go up field in the vacated areas left by the MLB or OLBs. The schemes are beautiful and when you can hit the pass with confidence, it looks just like an actual QB making that tough pass over the middle to the TE in a crucial situation. Reg |

hopefully i am not giving away too much for our upcoming league, my tight end is mostly used as an important blocker for the running game. now, things change during a game and he could end up with 10 catches, but mostly for blocking. i use an F-5 base.

First off Wolf I have these bases for you! I scored several of these as well as Kansas Bill, so you are covered.
The tight end on my Airohawks played a crucial part of my run through the TSO. I scored several tds with the TE. It was my only TD in the game against "Beenut". ( Mrs. "Beenut" note the quotations LOL). I ran a double tightend set alot, and had the Tornado Alley F-5 tweaked for strength/speed. It has the ability for short yardage 3rd down plays to push ahead and then throw to the TE as in the TSO rules you can throw to an engaged reciever. Geno H May the G-FORCE be with you. |

TE
Well, good question....
Te in my attack takes on several roles..... Base = TTC with speed and relitive strength Figures (sometimes makes a difference in execution of the play) BB-RB and F5 DB or f5-WR TE is my edge blocker on running plays, runs the "scout route" portion of the bootleg play; chips on the OLB [looper] and can get deep if you don't cover him Success with the TE means he can do all of those things well....... |

You know the beauty of an F5 is that they tweak up great to run in reverse which puts that flat front out there for straight on head to head blocking. Not to mention when used in the right circumstance you are left to wonder which way the player is actually going.

But seriously 6-8 catches a game from the tight end ? I would have to throw to him 55- 60 times a game to get that many completions. |

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. -Adrian- |

I think it is based on the way you play. My nephews and I play any and all player pivot before the snap. So a tightend can be more adept to catching a pass. I use a two TE one BAck system. This allows TE's to catch a pass in the flat or down the middle. My TE'S usually catch about four to five passess a game.
