Says TE's are great, if you can get 'em...

"Tight ends are a blast if you have them," Leach said. "If you have a true tight end -- and I mean a true tight end -- then life is good. God didn't make very many true tight ends. Just go to the mall and the big long-armed guys you see at the mall -- you'll see a couple, but most of them can't run fast and those that can probably can't catch. So there's not very many of them."

We on the other hand have the liberty of having both Black and White TE's...

    Cept the Cougs version of the Air Raid doesn't include a TE position in it's offense.


    But other than that... spot on!!!!!

    It's not 'admitting' when the fact is widely know.

    Maybe he should be recruiting at malls in Texas

    2.5% of plays >>> 0.0% of plays.

    The scarce nature of the perfect player for the position is why Washington State coach Mike Leach, one of the pioneers of the air raid offense that relies largely on four-wide-receiver sets, doesn't use tight ends. Over the past five years, no school in a Power 5 conference has used a tight end on fewer plays than the Cougars, who have employed one on only 2.5 percent of their offensive snaps since 2012.

    Lol ok Mike. TE would be one of the easiest positions to find. No need to make shit up because you are not really sure where the TE lines up in your garbage offense.

    Curious how they define TE for this "employed one on only 2.5 percent of their offensive snaps since 2012" seeing as there have been 0 players listed as TE on their roster since Leach took over. Maybe when the FB splits out like an H-back?

    This level of X's and O's football analysis is way over my pay grade. Assuming they have a non tight end do something tight endish once in a while.

    Do-it-all tight ends are rare. That's why you rarely see TEs in college with more than 200 receiving yards, and when you do, it's usually a glorified WR who can't block.
