tight

The tight end (TE) is a position in American football, arena football, and Canadian football, on the offense. The tight end is often a hybrid position with the characteristics and roles of both an offensive lineman and a wide receiver. Like offensive linemen, they are usually lined up on the offensive line and are large enough to be effective blockers. On the other hand, unlike offensive linemen, they are eligible receivers adept enough to warrant a defense's attention when running pass patterns.
Because of the hybrid nature of the position, the tight end's role in any given offense depends on the tactical preferences and philosophy of the head coach as well as overall team dynamic. In some systems, the tight end will merely act as a sixth offensive lineman, rarely going out for passes. Other systems use the tight end primarily as a receiver, frequently taking advantage of the tight end's size to create mismatches in the defensive secondary. Many coaches will often have one tight end who specializes in blocking on running plays while using a tight end with better pass-catching skills in obvious passing situations.
Offensive formations may have as few as zero or as many as three tight ends at one time.

    Fulidmaster Pro series Traps

    Not impressed at all! Thought they would be Mcalpine quality but are worse than Polypipe traps. To be fair the adjustable trap I fitted didn't leak but it was poorly made and the nut jumped off its thread with very little pressure hand tight. Plumbing Supply | Flush Toilet | Wax and Wax-Free...

    Cannot take off tap head

    I cannot take off the tap head? There is nothing obvious. The knob is loose and needs a tighten. The end cap is like a watch back, but no lip to take out. No knife or blade will move it? Any ideas thanks.

    Cutting Pipe in tight spot

    Hi All, What does everyone use for cutting copper pipe in really hard to reach areas. The kind of areas you cant get your pipe slices round the back of. I've just bought a Fein multitool which is doing well, although the blades run out fairly quick.

    I'm wanting to move a close coupled WC pan & cistern a couple of feet to the left of its current position. The plastic soil pipe goes straight back into an internal stone wall (30 inches thick) so there's no chance of moving it. However, the pipe has a plastic collar where it comes out of the...

    Couldn't believe it today. A woman told me to switch the hot tap off while gas rating a combi in a rented property. She was moaning about being on a water meter. I continued with the gas rate but she returned just as I was about to turn the tap off and had a tantrum. I explained that I'm an...
