This play, Tight End Fly, is designed for the Tight End to
catch a fly pass down the middle of
the field. The tight end usually is not a receiver the defense
expects to go deep. The coaches on the offense see that they get
a good match up with a linebacker covering the tight end on this
play. Usually the strong safety is covering the tight end, but in
this formation the strong safety has to cover another receiver.
This is how offensive coaches try to get certain matchups on
receivers. With the slower linebacker covering the tight end,
this play will go for a touchdown!
