Johnnie and DeMyron in the same backfield?

I would also like to see the offense center around the Tight End a little more. I really think we have one of the best in the country.

We appear to be very deep at TE. There is no reason that they should not be utilized more!

With DeMyron Martin, Johnnie Fitzgerald, James Mapps, Cedrick Dorsey and Fred Turner, we're very deep at running back. With Ryan Kennedy, Vincent Chase, Andrew McKinney, Mario Walker and Jeff Brock (who I heard a couple of coaches raving about), we're very deep at tight end.

You always hear coaches and announcers say that a good running game and a good tight end are a young quarterback's best friend. By my count, that's 10 friends for Willis right there.

Sorry - I didn't mean to exclude CP.
Make that 11 friends for Willis!

At the scrimmage the week before the Red-Blue game, I saw several formations where we lined up with one TE, an H-Back (usually one of the other TEs - many times it was CP), a tailback, and the QB under center (not in shotgun). It looked like we used this formation quite a bit in red zone situations.
Could be a new wrinkle to the offense.
