    Playbook for Tight Ends

    So I tried searching for this but didnt really find anything that addressed this point particularly.

    I started a dynasty with UCLA, and I've gotten a few transfers and recruits at the Tight End position who are very good. So I now have 3-4 highly rated TE's, over 75 or so, which are better than most my WRs.

    Does anyone know of a playbook that features a lot of 2 or 3 TE sets that I can build a custom playbook off, or if anyone has a template for a custom playbook that highlights the TE that would be great as well.

    Thanks in advance.

    Check out USC and VaTech. They seem to have 6 or 7 formations that have two TE

      Well you can make anything a TE book if you want them to be pass catchers. At Nebraska, I usually have TE's as my 3rd and 4th WR's in some spread formations just because they are tall and very talented. Then I sneak them in other formations as necessary.

      If you want more power sets with your TE's to run behind them, one of the true one back offenses would be good unless you want to play one of those TE's at FB. Eastern Michigan is another one back offense that has 1 or 2 TE in every set.

      I would personally just make a custom book though. Put a ton of 2 or 3 TE Ace in, Shotgun Ace formations, etc.

        Thanks for the help.

        I was working on one last night but was just curious if there was a good base playbook to work off of. Appreciate it!

          USC one is good, nice short passes to your TE.

            I use the USC playbook. Might as well call me Tim Harbaugh, 'cause I love my tight end(s).

                Texas has a bunch of Ace formations that are good.

                  i do a dynasty with washington and there playbook is very conducive to getting the ball to a tight end. There are a lot of 2 tight end formations, and a lot of play action or roll outs that get the ball to the tight end in the flats. I have 3 pretty good tight ends so i converted one to fullback and formation sub him in to throw him the ball sometimes out of the backfield. i don't know if its the slider set i use on heisman or if my plays are designed this way, but my tight ends are always the most open out of all of my receivers.

                    Iowa's playbook, no doubt about it.

                    That's what we do. Run, run, run, pass to the tight end, run, PA, etc.

                        marvin mcnutt says hello! but in all seriousness iowa's playbook would be a good one to use as CD said. theres a reason they keep putting tight end after tight end in the nfl.
