Will NFL coaches have to rethink their schemes?

[jarhead]

While I realize there have been great tight ends thoughout the history of football it now appears they are becoming much more of a weapon thoughout the league and much more difficult to defend.

Does anyone think that coaches will have to start changing their schemes or will teams draft a different competency in lbs and safeties to defend them? I know we give up to many yards to them.

Actually I always thought tight-end was used extensively by other teams. It was a very popular flavor except in Carolina it was like scweddy balls. This year not so much the last few years our tight ends were extra lineman for that max protect crap offense we ran.

It's been like this everywhere but here for a long time. That's what you get when you have King and Rosario as your two main TE's, lol. I was talking s**t about them for a long time before they got cut.

I think as more teams go to pass-first offenses, it creates a lot more opportunities for TEs to get mismatches. It has created a demand for more athletic TEs who can beat LBs 1 on 1 and are too big for safeties.

I'm sure defensive coordinators will catch up eventually, but judging from the success of New England's offense, they arent there yet

pretty much every team uses tightends for catching except denver

Teams that can generate pass rush with their front four should fare better covering TE's. When you have to blitz to get pressure, you are more likely to get burned by the TE's.

And of course teams that are willing to pass more in traditional run situations can really hurt you with the TE's.

That is because they use a Tight End to pass.

tell me what scheme works on 2 1000 yard running backs, a qb who can pass and run and an oc that uses everything in his playbook.

This message board needs to be changed to the Cam huddle versus the Panthers Huddle.This is a team sport.
