1. Tight ends sometimes block like a lineman and sometimes receive
2. The fastest players usually play wide receiver or running back
3. Two disadvantages are that we have less receivers and that we could have less lineman so less blocking occurs

1. Tight ends generally stand next to the tackles. They can either play as a receiver or blocker.

2. Wide Receivers OR running backs

3. The pro set is a formation that allows the offensive side to either run or pass the ball with ease. As a result, it leaves the defense to question whether the QB will throw the ball or run it.

4.
Keith C- Wide receiver
Jacob L- Center/kicker
Hiran M- Wide receiver
K- Quarter back
Me- Running back

1. Mix between blocking and recieving depending on the play.

2. Running backs and Wide recievers are the fastest players on the team normally.

3. You can run or pass easily and the other team has trouble sometimes figuring out how to defend these formations.

4. Kevin plays QB, Selena WR, Matt WR, I (Michael) play WR, and someone else plays RB.

1.) Tight ends can be a blocker during a running play or act as a pass receiver during a passing play.

2.) The faster members of the team play mostly running back and some wide receiver.

3.) Two advantages of the plays Pro Set and Split Back are that you can easily run and pass without the defense quickly recognizing, and you can easily throw a short swing pass to you backs and have you linemen come out and block downfield.

4.) Justin: Quarterback
Ashwin: Tight End
Ethan: Running Back
Adam: Wide Receiver
Jessica: Center

We are team 5 (The Bills)

1) Tight ends block or catch passes.
2)Running back or wide receiver.
3)You can pass or run from the formation, and the other team will not know what play is coming.
4)Kevin - wide receiver, Young - center, Tai - wide receiver, Me - quarterback

1.) allows for a blocking OR passing option to the Q,
2.) wide receiver as they need to cover the most distance in a short amount of time, however a fast running back is also very useful as they handle most of the running plays themselves.
3.)gives the Q lots of options as they can easily pass OR run with the foot ball depending on how the other team lines up.
4.) *im using hiran instead of the girl cause I've never seen her play* Me: WE as i can run fast and catch well, i also go instinctively to the sidelines as i play soccer, Keath: RB cause he's extremly fast and none can touch him if his hands get on the ball.Hiran: TE he can catch the ball but only at short distances making this position perfect as he can also block the Q: which will be K due to prior experience and also the ability to think up plays on the fly like a real Qb should be able to do.

2.wide receivers and running backs are usually the fastest because they are skill players that need to be able to move around fast
3.ity is a good set up where the defense won't know easily if it a run or throw and its easy to do both from those formations

1. Tight ends can be blocker or a receiver.

2. Running backs and wide receivers are usually the fastest players on the team.

3. 2 advantages of doing pro sets or split backs is that the defense is least likely to recognize what play they are doing and it is easier for the team to run or pass the football.
4. i think i am good to be a running back because of my speed or a tight end. Justin should be quarterback because he can throw good spirals . jared should be wide reciver because he can catch balls that are thrown far. cejeail is a good center. and waytt is also a good wide reciver.

2.The running back and the wide receiver.
3.It confuses the defense and allows the offense to chose between a run or pass play.

1.Tight ends are used to either receive passes or to block during a running or passing play
2.The fastest players are the team are usually the wide receivers or the running/half backs.
3.One advantage to the pro set offense is the defense is unable to tell whether you are going to run or pass the ball. Another advantage to the pro set offense is the alignment of the guards makes it easier for the running backs to run or get a swing pass because the guards are in the ideal place for blocking.

1. Tight ends are a mix of blocker and pass receiver.
2.The fastest members of the team would play as wide receivers and running backs: full back and half back.
3. 2 advantages of running a pro set or split back offense are easy to pass the run with a football and the other team would not be sure what type of playing is coming.
4. Team: Dolphins, I think I should be the guard because I am not the best at catching the ball but I have decent speed, Hiran is a good running back/ tight end, Cejeail is a pretty good center, Wyatt is a great wide receiver, Jared should be wide receiver he can catch balls that are thrown far, and lastly Justin should be the quarterback because he throws good spirals.

Kyrylo Tsygura Answers:

1. Tight ends play a key role as they can block and act like linemen as well as receive passes.
2. Wide receiver and running back are usually played by the fastest players.
3. You can easily choose between a pass or a run play and the other team will have trouble reading and defending it.
4 Me (Kyrylo)- good at QB, natural thrower
Jacob- WR/RB- fast and good catcher
Keith- RB- super fast and agile
Justin- Wide Receiver
