Tight Ends Primed for Big Year With Josh Gattis

During the Miami Hurricanes’ Spring Game, the world got to see how new offensive coordinator Josh Gattis plans to run the offense. There were a few things that I noticed, but the way he schemed the ball into the tight end’s hands was very interesting to me. How did Gattis use the tight ends in the Spring Game, and how does he plan to utilize them going forward?

The Block and Release

During the Spring Game, Gattis showed his preferred way of getting the ball in the tight end’s hands: the block and release. The tight end stays back, acting like he is part of the pass protection.
