Hey Ill.

In the one-back offense that Gibbs has run in the past, the H-back is a substitute for the the FB. Motion reveals what a D is doing. Motion gives the QB some sense of what's up!

H-backs are guys that have TE/FB size, can block, and have receiving skills. These guys need to understand the O really well and can actually perform well in that O. Sometimes they need to block someone's lights out; the next, they need to stretch an opponent's secondary.

The reason that the Skins traded up to snag Cooley was because Cooley did most of those things at Utah St. Motion, hard hits, good hands, and good attitude all added up to a 3rd round pick! just MO, howver.
