Warrior General Games

I'm all for it. Some HCs/OCs bitch about having a TE who is all speed and no blocking, but it opens up tons of opportunities for the rest of the offense. Hans Solo's biggest games came against teams that blitz their safeties a lot - and if you try to double cover him, it opens up the WRs, HB and FB.

I have had success with building a possession TE. Our team compensates the check down issue by making him the primary look.
main attributes are:
66 catch
50 vision
36 jump
70 speed
60 agility.

My suggestion would be to not have his speed so high. Middle of the road really gains no adv. If i rebuilt, i would have made agility and jumping much higher.

Hope this helps.

your being selfish IMO. a good speed TE brings away coverage and opens up the field. people seem to think TE's have 3 directions to go and I think that is misleading.
we are not meant to all be like the good quick out pass TE's you see in the NFL. at least not this season.
anythings possible I guess though.

speed, speed, speed.

Ironic, because I think I'm being the exact opposite of selfish. I don't see why a guy who would take pressure off of my WRs to be able to convert third and medium (allowing them to focus more on YAC abilities or being burners) would be considered selfish. I'm NOT looking for a guy to put up gaudy numbers, just someone who'll step in and catch 75%+ of his targets for a steady 7-12 yards. Sure, it'd be nice for him to get downfield for a few long passes, but it's not something I'm going to try and do on a consistent basis.


It seems like the general consensus is that it's going to be really hard to get targets with low speed... so I'll keep that in mind. I wonder how much the D-creator is going to change things. If teams end up running a lot more zone D because of this, it might make the build a lot more viable than it is right now.
