aubiefifty 17,100 Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 i was reading an article that basically said coach freeze uses his tight ends in a hybrid role which apparently makes the position more attractive to tight en recruits? what does this mean? he is a tight end/receiver type role? i will hang up and listen and thanx.

cole256 17,084 Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 I imagine it's something similar to how Shannon Sharpe made the h back role popular. I'm not saying strategically it's the same thing but the concept is probably similar. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUY2K 272 Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Think the number 19 stud (NFL right now) player ugag has and will be back for his Jr year. That’s what CHF wants his TE to be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It means if we get Uzomah to come back to AU his talents won't be ignored forever. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowerOfDixieland 3,226 Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 (edited) All Tight Ends want to catch more balls and block less, that's the appeal with Freeze. The tight end position by nature is a hybrid = offensive lineman + receiver. As @cole256 points out, some coordinators see the hybrid tight end as more of a cross between a running back and a wide receiver (H Back). I believe Freeze loves the severe stress a big fast TE puts on linebackers and safeties in the middle of the defense...a TE running the seam can be a matchup nightmare. Because he went to the same high school as my kids, I have always been a fan of the way Ole Miss used Evan Engram. This is what I believe Freeze sees as the ultimate hybrid TE....

Plainstalk 32 Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 I think Georgia uses Brock Bower in a “hybrid” role. A good hybrid TE is a difficult matchup for most defenders. Too fast for linebackers and to big for safeties and corners. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
