Message: [QUOTE="Orangello, post: 1133256, member: 597"] I'll add to this that we should be using Custis on the TE seam route every game. As Tom notes, against CMU he was almost always matched up against an undersized LB or safety. That is exaqctly what you want as the TE is able to turn or cut in front of the smaller defender who is unable to get in front of the TE. If the defender misses the tackle or is shed, you have a good shot at a TD especially in a Cover 2 defense. The key is having the TE start the route slighty wide then cut hard to the middle of the field. Think Gronko and the Pats Rail Route here. Instead, McD is having Hunt throw to the TE quickly at the LOS negating the one on one mismatch in space you want/need to create when you have a physical speciman like Custis. Same thing for Slashton. [/QUOTE]
