Here you see the Jets all new 4 TE set. I'm not sure how it will work, but if the Bears feel the need to even have 2 I'd be okay with it.

I like that formation. I would implement it as soon as possible -- the term lickety split comes to mind

You like that 'formation' eh ?

I think all that depends on whether or not they decide to keep a true FB. Right now I think Loggains is toying with the idea but not set on it. Unrein can play FB if needed or if by chance they keep Scruggs for his blocking and try to keep developing him then he's also a possibility.

I'd hoped to see more of Braunecker but he's been injured.....or is he? Foxy is a crafty old bastard which makes me wonder if some of these lingering injuries are being reported to keep interest down on players he'd really like to move to the PS where he can season them while using the vets he has for now.

We really aren't as bad off at TE as some have reported, not when we have three vets who've all had starting experience and NFL production as starters. The real question is how many of them do we keep?

Ahhh the ol hidden Braunecker charade! Brilliant!

LMAO Yep, that's it. Kind of like playing "hide the salami" but you use your Braunecker instead.

You all may find this interesting.

BIGGS ON GROUPING

Brad Biggs is still the gold standard. From his latest:

I charted the personnel formations for the three series starting quarterback Jay Cutler had. There were a total of 27 snaps from three different personnel groupings:

12 snaps with 11 personnel (called Posse by former Tribune contributor Matt Bowen) – 1 running back, 1 tight end, 3 wide receivers

11 snaps with 12 personnel (called Ace by Bowen) – 1 running back, 2 tight ends, 2 wide receivers

4 snaps with 21 personnel (called Regular by Bowen) – 2 running backs, 1 tight end, 2 wide receivers

What stands out most to me is the nearly even divide between three-wide personnel and double tight end personnel. The Bears ran 198 snaps with two tight ends on the field last season and they were actually very effective throwing out of that grouping as they completed 42 of 57 passes (73.7 percent) for 576 yards with a 116.0 rating. They spent the first half of the year not really utilizing Zach Miller in that role and then Martellus Bennett had hurt ribs and feelings in the second half of the season.

If Loggains follows along these same lines in 2016 I would say it means we'll see two TE packages fairly often throughout the course of the season and we may keep as many as 4 TEs active and another inactive or on the PS.
