Does Henning use 2 TE sets or 3 WR?

Conuficus · 01-22-2008, 10:33 PM

I just got to thinking, how would his hire affect our draft and acquisition of offensive talent. He likes a power run game, but what about his TE's do they really matter ala Chan Gailey. Or are we talking about one where they can realistically expect to catch 30 - 45 passes?

he's used 2 TE sets in the past, but he also get's 3rd and 4th WRs involved as well as backup FBs

When he was with the Panthers they lined up mostly in two TE sets, but the TEs were rarely involved in the passing game. I think that was due to a lack of talent at the position since the Panthers haven't had a star TE in years. One thing is for sure, if you are a TE in this offense then you better be a great blocker. PERIOD.

I hope 3 WR we dont even have anything close to having 2 good TE maybe if we Draft Kellen Davis and Keep Justin Pleele then maybe we could go to the 2 TEs but for now we need to do 3 WR

He was the OC for the Skins back in the 80s when Joe Gibbs invented the H-Back position (not to be confused with halfback) which is a hybrid fullback/tight end position.
Something they came up with to deal specifically with Lawrence Taylor. I saw it mentioned somewhere that the H in H-Back was it being named for Henning who probably had as much to do with their coming up with it as Gibbs did.
