Normally you keep one or the other in between TE or HB, we tend to put both in routes with HB normally on a check and release pattern. Now if we keep everyone in your talking max protect, but that is going to be more of a shot play off Play Action not normal route combinations. I am saying we keep a TE in more often and still run 3-4 guys in the pattern. Against a zone defense numbers don't matter because they occupy spaces not faces, so they are going to a general position (very simple explanation on a much more complicated topic) no matter what. On man plays often times if the guy is on the TE or HB and the player stays in to block it becomes a +1 blitz and they come after the QB so numbers don't change too much, occasionally game plans will dictate the +1 turns into a double team, but that is probably more specific to the weekly match up.
