are tight ends used in the wishbone ?

[maverick50]

does anbody know if a team uses tight ends in a wishbone formation?, if so how many ? i was just wondering and i think it would be funny if the dolphins used the wishbone for the first two games just to throw defenses off . i am trying to remember how many receivers are used in this type of formation. :dolphins:

Yes they do...Keith Jackson was one of the best TEs ever to play in the wishbone offense.

Dolphins using the wishbone? I can see team teeing off on the QB just so they would be ineffective, more than usual, later on.

Doesn't it usually consist of 2 Rbs and a FB, and either 2 Tes or 1 Te and 1 Wr at a time?

In a standard wishbone formation, one tight end and one wideout is used. The tight end in the wishbone is often a glorified tackle. In traditional wishbone offenses the run/pass ratio runs about 85%/15%, so there are not all that many chances to catch a ball.

I highly realize that. No NFL team uses a wishbone, I was simply answering the posters' question.

No teams uses it really often in like every game, but you see it from time to time. A couple of years ago the Packers used to throw it out there.

This season Miami used a pretty similiar "full house" type formation a couple of times.

This shows what a wishbone is like. This is from the football anime Eyeshield 21. A cartoon, yes. But it does show how a wishbone works.

Is that formation still used?

Aren't the Titans kinda using a hybrid of the Wishbone to take advantage of Vince Young's skill set?

I saw somebody line up in a wishbone formation during a playoff game a few weeks ago. I can't remember who it was, and it was just one play, but I remember seeing it and thinking "WTF are they doing in the wishbone?!?"
