The most dominant offense in the NFL isn't the spread, the read-option or the pistol. The best offense in today's NFL is the two-tight end attack.

It's fast becoming a major part of every pro playbook. The set has revitalized the tight end position and made it as important as wide receiver or running back.

The New England Patriots and San Francisco 49ers have made the dual tight end look their de facto offense of choice. Each has been used to dominate their respective conferences in recent seasons.

Just what makes the two-tight end set so appealing in the modern offense? The reason is it can read and react to shifts and changes on both the 4-3 and 3-4 defencive alignments

That is why the Patriots are a 5 billion times better team when the GRONK plays and is fully fit and functioning.

That is why Vernon Davis was so effective in the Alex Smith and early Colin K years.

I agree that the dual-TE sets are more common now than ever before, however I think that's more about BASE packages rather than 3rd down/obvious passing downs. On 2nd and 10+ or 3rd and long, teams usually go spread with 4 WRs or if they have a talented TE like Gronk who you mentioned, they'll use him and employ a 3WR look. I have yet to see a team dominate in passing situations on a consistent basis with that 2TE set (unless they flex the TE, essentially making it a 3WR look).
The Falcons (who's scheme we are pretty much trying to install here) used 2TEs often but mainly on 1st down, 2nd and short-medium and 3rd & manageable situations.
And while I acknowledge dual-TEs pose many problems to defenses, one could argue that in the 49ers and Patriots case, it was more because of their lack of talent at Wide Receiver that forced coaches to adjust their scheme and go so heavy with the 2TE formations.

With that being said I simply don't see 2TE sets giving us much headaches on obvious passing downs. I don't see our LEO being doubled often (if at all).

As long as one of your TEs is a pass catching threat; it is the best offensive set up in the NFL.

all championship quality offenses use it and certainly the New England Patriots thrive on it as their base offence.

The set up is simple.



and when done competently is almost imposable to handle. It covers both the best of the 4-3 and the 3-4 and your LEO in the base 4-3 is absolutely double teamed all day, every day and twice on Sundays.



Plus you can play the switch using motion which gives you so many option it isn't funny and that is not even talking about how good a formation it is to run out of.
You just posted two double TE concepts in which the tight end doesn't stay in to block Lol. You're all over the place, man.

I'm confused, in these photos there aren't any examples of the offense keeping 1 TE to block and employing the other as the receiving threat. Also, in obvious passing situations it's arguable whether or not the 2TE set is the "best offensive set up in the NFL" because 1) That teams roster might be more talented at WR then TE so you go with your strengths, and 2) The opponent you face may have a dominant safety as opposed to better CBs....again, you go with your strengths and gameplan each week for the defense you'll face. There isn't ONE particular "best set" in the NFL...great offenses maximize and utilize whatever talent they have, period.

I love the LEO position, don't get me wrong. I reckon Elvis is made for it in our Defensive alignment.

And I know that The 4-3 defense has one true run-stuffer, its 1 tech. In past years, the run stuffer usually commanded double teams. His play freed up single-teams for the Leo and others. The Run Stuffer is the guy that made that defensive line one of the best. That is why the two TE set has become so prevalent in the modern NFL offence especially if you have one TE who is a primer pass catcher. This goes back to McDonald and his talents.

The LEO defense is unique. It relies on two immovable objects to get the job done. The 5 and 1 tech need to be able to hold two blockers and be immovable objects that don't necessarily make plays against the run, but free up other players to make them. They cannot be blocked with one man. Against the pass, they'll usually only make plays when the quarterback holds onto the ball too long.

We were continually gashed by screens all of last year.

The versatility from our LEO to our SAM linebacker and the way that we're going to try to attack, there's going to be a number of guys that can get into that (LEO position). The objective is to have three big players who can stuff the run, and faster players on the outside who can rush the passer, or at times drop back in coverage.

But it has to be versatile in modern football.

There is the option for the block obviously but the defence has to respect the catching ability of the TE and therefore can not rush the passer with any real assurance because the 5 yard pattern to a wide open and hard to bring down TE is always an option.

HENCE why it works so WELL

The Defence are challenged to cover tight ends running increasingly expansive patterns, from more daring alignments. Linebackers aren't fast enough to cover them and defensive backs aren't big enough.

If they don't release into pass routes, tight ends stay in to block and take out the LEO position with a double team and reduce the threat of a blitz. That's one of the main problems presented by the two-tight end offense.

It asks the defense the question, exactly what are those tight ends going to do once the ball is snapped?

In reality the Offence use the positioning and movement of their tight ends to force a shift from the Defence. Using this deception to spread a defense and split its coverage, is something more and more two-tight end offenses are doing

Proponents of the two-tight end attack are moving their tight ends all over the formation. They are creating individual mismatches and splitting coverage schemes in two.

More teams around the NFL are taking notice of how dangerous the multiple tight end set can be. The NFL draft saw several teams use high picks on tight ends, despite already being stocked at the position.

Here we go, you are just trying to one up people. It makes perfect sense. On offense can move the Tight end around at the line of scrimmage to try and give the defence an alignment they don't expect and protect the QB. .

The defensive end to the tight end side needs to be a defensive player that can play the run. He does not have to be a big time pass rusher, but he has to play the C gap and stop the run. [He] must work for leverage and force and allow the Free Safety to work off of the him and fill where he is needed on run plays.

The best pass rusher on the team is usually the defensive end to the open side of the field. That puts him on the quarterback's blind side and makes him a C gap player in this defense. He is often aligned wider than this in order to give him a better angle of attack and allow him to play in space. We align him a yard outside of the offensive tackle most of the time. He has to play C gap run support but at the same time he is rushing the passer like it is third and ten. He has to be able to close down however if the tackle blocks down on him. (He) has to be one of your best football players. Size does not matter as much. We want an athletic player who can move around.

But both sides must have the ability to have one player to pass rush just incase the Tight End moves sides in transition before the snap.


Once again, that makes no sense. Time to bust out the MS Paint chalkboard.

The 4-3 under alignment protects the under pass rushers(under tackle and Leo). The broken blue lines show what assignments can be adjusted in the event the OL slides protection; however, the LEO still cannot be doubled.



Talking about where tight end is pointless because:

1.) The LEO plays on the opposite side of where tight end lines up. If a tight end goes to his side, the defense flips alignment.

2.) In the event of a balanced formation with two in-line tight ends, the LT and TE doubling the LEO doesn't preclude the rest of the OL from doubling another DL, which is explicitly what you stated. Tight end has no bearing on whether the rest of the OL can double someone.



Sorry, but you're dead wrong.

Great post! I like the MS Paint Chalkboard, you should do it more often.
I have a question about what you said when the TE motions to the LEOs side. What do you mean by the defense flips alignment? Do the lineman simply slide down, or do the lineman physically switch spots?

I don't post a lot, but I'm a daily visitor on NT because of the knowledge you, THL, and other share, so thanks in advance
Both Elvis and AA going to play the LEO at some stage of the season.

Not only does he endlessly spam every thread, but he's stealing and plagiarizing the writing and thoughts of others.

I was wondering how ggg posts like it's Twitter, less than 140 characters, then starts dropping knowledge on scheme and stuff. At least cite the source if large chunks of text from someone else's work is used. It's the right thing to do.
