Fast forward to the 2:40 minute position and watch how someone with a bit of size and speed utilized from the tight end position can gash the hell out of a defense over the middle.

But we don't need a pass catching TE Rick. Remember, Todd Dodge was brought here to run HIS offense, rest of the football world be damned.

And it's working in glorious fashion is it not?

One thing I did notice was the hangtime on the passes. Their quarterback throws ropes, not rainbows, and will go more than 20 yards beyond the line of scrimmage. Just saying.

So, let's see if we can get Whitten to play for us...or maybe Brett Farve.

I do, however, love the tight end getting into the scheme and keeping the ball moving. Seems to me to be a pretty good move. But.....

Rick,

Come on, man. They are at least lining up guys at tight end this year. Give Dodge another year or two in his learning curve to figure out that you can also throw to them on a regular basis with great success, as Tom Hicks might say.

Yes, we all expect that Dodge, and perhaps Ford, might look at the type of spread Texas, Florida, and Oklahoma (before Jermaine Gresham was injured) use and get the notion that a tight end is useful. Heck, he could even look at the game film of last year's game against Tulsa and see how they use Charles Clay as a tight end/fullback hybrid called an H-back. They might then realize he has a Charles Clay clone in Micah Mosley standing on his sideline.

But, again, it's just Dodge's third year up here. Give him a little time. Besides, as has been pointed out before, you and I aren't coaches, so what could we possibly know about any of it?

You know what else they could use to throw a curve ball at the opposing defense? Pre-snap motion. There isn't a whole lot of that going on either.

You know what pre-snap motion and promotion have in common?
