Miami (OH) has a lot of TE pass play options.

Check North Carolina. Its one of the best pro style playbooks. I'd say its a better TE playbook than even Notre Dame and USC but those are also great playbooks. Oregon State is good if you like singleback sets.

UNC does have a good book for TE passes. Their book is right up there with VT for what I've seen.

Notre Dame's playbook has alot of great plays for TE's, they have a great pair of TE's in Kyle Rudolph and Mike Ragone give it a try, nice balance too.

The generic One back system has a lot of great plays for TE.

Using that playbook in 09 I won several TE's the Heisman.

I use my TEs pretty exclusively using Tennessee's playbook. It has good routes and rubs with other receiver routes.

I have been using ASU's playbook in my dynasty and they have a great playbook for TE's. All one back formations with at least one TE in every formation. Multiple 2 TE formations and a 3 TE one back formation. Even their 4 wide formation uses a TE in the slot rather than a wr. Its defininetely worth a look and you have to have a good TE to use it because he is in there every play.

wow, cheeser's have invaded OS, guy probably likes putting his fastest WR at TE and his RB at QB also, play sim buddy, play sim.

Seriously? Putting a TE in the slot is cheese? Everything is cheese huh? Teams do that in real life all the time. It's not cheese.

I mostly use VA Tech and run balanced. I'm not super happy with either but I've got my go-to plays for sure. Unfortunately, my TE is awful so I don't go to him much.

Exactly. Some of these guys who cry cheese should try watching a real game some time.

I have a 6'5", 240-pound TE with speed, and I split him out wide or in the slot sometimes to create mismatches -- just like the Kansas City Chiefs did during Tony Gonzalez's prime.

If I was into men,I'd ask you to marry me! I took a look at ASU's playbook and I love this thing. Thank you so much for suggesting it.


As for the TE sub being cheese. I look at it like this(while I pretend my opinion matters): If the formation calls for him to be there,fine. Subbing him as third WR so he's in on any 3+ WR set isn't. Just because a team in real life have a formation where someone is in a spot where they normally aren't doesn't mean it's ok to make every formation like that. For example just because teams use a "wildcat" formation doesn't make it right to sub your HB as a QB in every formation. If you have to do things like that to win,fine go right ahead. Just don't claim that it is sim because an ocasional team has a formation or two like that.

no when you use the sub package its fine, but to go in and manually shuffle players around to gain an unfair advantage is cheese, play the game like it is, is all that Im saying. As for watching a real game I do, and I love it when people try to defend the fact that they cheese and somehow try to justify it, and you backing it means your probably a cheeser yourself.....enough said! and it was ment as a joke D'bag

I am glad I could help. I have really been enjoying using their playbook this year myself. You can really get a pretty good balance of run/pass if you want because you get the spread passing looks without giving up the power running game from under center plus the extra blocking of the TE.

As far as the cheese goes, I agree with you but as you can see, you dont have to worry about that because they use at least one TE in every formation.

shoot you are exactly right. I ran with the UNC book all of 09. Had that book down inside and out. Still use it a hell of alot. Have 2 other books I use to give me a little more shotgun just because of a particular team I might be using. But if someone said I could only use one playbook, it would be the NORTH CAROLINA TAR HILL BOOK.
I am Pro Style 95% of the time. But every now in then I will have to fulfill my HYBRID PRO STYLE/SPREAD cravings. That is the only time I use another book like DUKE, ARKANSAS, NOTRE DAME which still allows me to keep that pro style attack and a nice array of concepts for my TE, as well as adding a little SPREAD sprinkled in for a neat little mixture.

i disagree. putting a WR at HB on a toss is not cheese. see percy harvin. putting a TE in the slot is not cheese. see.. almost any TE. there are ways to exploit the game, of course, but creating mismatches at any position you can is not cheese. like putting victor harris at WR (like i did last year with VT). 99 speed and good hands, perfect for the deep ball. i went into the depth chart, put him as my slot receiver and he was in about 75% of my plays. not cheese- they did it all the time last year. and you can say i'm a cheeser and all that crap.. i couldn't care less what a douchebag like you thinks. enough said.

Ole Miss is the way to go. By far the most balanced "pro style" playbook. Every formation in that playbook has a TE package.

Like I said: Obviously you don't watch enough TV on Saturdays and Sundays, 'cause if you did, you'd know dropping a TE in the slot or splitting him out wide is standard practice for a lot of teams.

If a team does it in real life, it ain't cheese.

The game does already include packages for putting the TE in the slot (Ace Slot, Ace Spread, Ace 4WR Trips, Ace Y-Trips) or splitting him out wide (Ace Trey Open), but sometimes shuffling the depth chart is the only way to do what teams do in real life.
