Seems like if you have a good pass-catching TE, sacrificing a WR is an easy switch to make, and would allow for a balanced front, making it hard on a D to figure strong side alignments.

- Do the colts ever really use a FB though? - musubi Sep 13, 10:51 2
  - No, that's why I said twins is their base formation. - David Sep 13, 10:57 1
    - Gotcha, the Colts being the specific example of the general principle of twin TEs. - musubi Sep 13, 11:02
