Stand-up Tight Ends

[hwks1]

I'm seriously hoping that BF pays tribute to Hayden Fry and starts the bowl game with two standing TE!

Got to do it ... first play of the game. A naked boot leg by Stanley later in the game would also be appropriate no matter what happens.

 

[EstronHawkKing]

are there any teams in college football today that have their tight-ends stand up?

White pants for all coaching staff, stand up TEs, and Old Gold JHF in place of one of the helmet Tigerhawks.

How about Stanley backs away from center to pass with his shoulders squared to the line?

Tears came to my eyes just picturing it.

Lol, Wirf, Jackson and Stanley will all probably say no to that. By time NS back pedals 12 yards and sets his feet, he will be eating turf. It is 2019, no offensive tackle can hold out that long.

I get it, tho. As a one play tribute......yeah, you could probably make it work.

Qbs do see better that way. He could at least see what is coming...like a truck.

I'd rather see Stanley run the naked bootleg at the goal line. That would be cool.

It’s only cool if he raises the ball above his head 5 yards before he crosses the goal line!

It would be called back as an early celebration/unsportsmanlike conduct

This is the best idea since The Wave

Props


To me, the stand-up TE just looks menacing.

Towering over the DE...
coming at you eye-to-eye with LBs...
scanning target rich environment called DBs

Just love it

... and executing, with one TE pancaking a blitzing LB and the other TE making a grab and rumbling 20 yards for a 1st down.

The man changed history in Texas culture, Big10 culture/field of play, Iowa culture/field of play and influenced a lot of people along the way.

He is a great man
and I personally use that adjective sparingly.

I just heard that Fry came up with the idea for stand up tight ends after two of his starters were out. The third string TE was pretty small and Fry said something to the effect of "he'll get killed if he's in a three-point stance!" Afterwards he realized how well the kid could see the field and made calls to the QB. Neat stuff.

It would be a fitting tribute to Coach Fry to stand up the TE.

I guess the family is 'ok' with removing the Tiger Hawk from the helmet but it doesn't feel right to me - to remove the logo that he created.

 

[Motigerhawk]

This would go against everything KF. What are the odds?

It signifies, "Without Hayden, there is no Tiger Hawk"

Also, Hayden had had removed the Tiger Hawk twice before to honor someone close to the Hawkeye family that had passed.
I'm good with it.
