He was also a HS QB projected as a TE with a recruiting ranking of 88. I'd bet they told Salster he could be the next Tyler Warren. IMO Salster looks a half step quicker than Warren in his highlights.

Just looked it up. Fuente and company were probably really upset about that, looks like he was commited to us for about 9 months. It's not like we weren't using TEs back then, Bucky Hodges, Dalton Keene, AND James Mitchell all had brief NFL stints and were drafted. But....you can't argue how things turned out for him at PSU. I'm going to go ahead and go on record and say Montgomery was worse than Cornelson as an OC, he doesn't know teams have TEs.

Why on earth would we hire an OC that wanted to implement the air raid with our group of players? It was never going to work. I still stand by my opinion on ranking Montgomery behind Cornelson as an OC. He should've known his system wasn't suited for our personnel and adjusted accordingly. Clearly he didn't do that.

The Y is a huge part of the air raid. In the true air raid you see a TE or TE type body lined up as an inside receiver. There is a whole Y package in the air raid - Y-Sail, Y-stick, Y-cross, Y-shallow to name a few. Putting a TE in the Y creates matchup problems for the D too - do they match up with a DB or LB. A good TE in the air raid is like gold.
