A 12 personnel base package is 1= RB and 2=TE. Unless we count Custis and Aldy as TE's, I don't think we'll see many true 3 TE formations other than on the goal line.Found some interesting reads.
I agree. I did some research about the various personnel groupings, including the "12"and I can't wait to see how Lester implements it.Pretty sure coach Lester has said he has run this with success, and they look to be going that way. could not link the articles I saw. As well as the play charts... Leads to favorable match ups and multiple targets
There are so many nfl teams dying for versatile tight ends. There aren't that many out there. Match ups are only favorable when the tight ends are actually versatile enough to be inside or outside. I think it's a low probability bet in college when you can run other offenses that plug in pieces that don't need to be so versatile and rareRMH44 said:I agree.

Teams that use the 12 package actually throw the ball almost 48% of the time on 1st down. Just because Lester is on record stating that we have to establish the run doesn't mean we won't be throwing the ball. All you have to do is look at the type of QB's we signed in this class to get an idea of where the offense is headed.

1st Down: Run up the middle; no gain.
2nd Down: Incomplete bubble pass (stop for review to see if it was a lateral pass)
3rd Down: Slant pass or off tackle for 5-8 yards.
4th Down: Punt.
if you run this style you dont need dynamic Te to get open and create mistmatches because teams tend to over play the run and let guys slip open. same as why TE near the goal line have a much easier time, guys get lost in the wash.There are so many nfl teams dying for versatile tight ends.

The Seahawks’ defense is not one that sets out to confuse you and beat you with disguise. They play with a single-high safety closing the middle of the field on more than 84% of their snaps only rolling to that look from an “open” two-high look at the snap on 15.7% of their snaps. Obviously there are variations in play calls within this, but the Patriots will know what they are facing from the Seahawks’ defense.
When the Patriots lined up against a defense showing a “closed”, single-high defense this season they passed the ball 57% of the time and gained 7.7 yards per attempt with Tom Brady throwing a league-best 20 touchdowns with only two interceptions. His favorite targets against the single high look were Brandon LaFell (65 targets), Julian Edelman (61) with Rob Gronkowski only third by number of targets, though he did contribute eight touchdowns.
