Barner is a solid blocker and will be on the field a ton. Another thing I’m wondering about is if they move Ouzts around like a chess piece. He was a TE in college at Alabama and HS and *-gasp-* played basketball in HS as well!
Line him up at FB, motion him in-line to see the defense coverage, and even motion him outside for a route if the defense is heavy in the box. I feel like he has a chance to be a cheatcode in an offense looking to take advantage of coverages and mismatches.
Edit: I wanted to add this quote from Mike on disguising their actions:
> Seattle’s offense is built around the idea of making all the run actions look like their passing concepts and vice versa.
Feels like I’ve heard this before. I’ll believe it when I see it.

Expect a **lot** of 2TE personnel.
