Episode notes
INSIGHT

Loveland Is A Developmental Three-Down TE

  • Colson Loveland projects as a developmental three-down tight end because of size, route chops, and his team's run-blocking identity.
  • Max expects his receiving volume to rise as his inline blocking improves and coaches trust him more in base personnel.
INSIGHT

Run Reputation Forces Base Personnel

  • Teams with a run-heavy reputation force opponents into base personnel to defend tight end-heavy formations.
  • Seattle's use of big tight ends creates formation-driven mismatches that keep opponents from easily playing nickel.
ADVICE

Use Personnel Clues To Set Start/Sit

  • If an offense shows two big tight ends, expect defenses to avoid nickel and accept size disadvantages in the box.
  • Start tight ends who create that personnel stress because they often open both run seams and favorable passing looks.
