Not even the slightest hint of "we're going to do something a little different than the first 118 times we've handed the ball off this year". I mean, you've got one of, if not the best blocking TE in the league on the roster. He seems to embrace the role of a blocker, why not utilize him as an H-back?
Utilizing an H-back in the formation, even just a few times per game give the defense another list of potential plays that they must prepare for.
Most definitely. The Offensive coaches need to add a bunch more plays over the bye and add some new wrinkles. I like the motion
we are using but we need to get the running game going if we are going to go on a run. More of Sample at H-back, more Jumbo
packages etc.
