[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 684180"] Perhaps, but probably not except by necessity. Montgomery looks the part of the of the 3rd. down back. One accommodation if an actual 2 down back back be identified is using Montgomery out of the slot in place of Rodgers split out in 4 wide. The template says you need that big body TE who can make the tough catch in the middle danger zone. But Rodgers is just too slow to be effective; slowish LBs seem to have little trouble covering or closing on him. Montgomery is not ideal as a TE substitute because he just does not look like a seam runner. The college tape and early attempts to hit him downfield revealed that he has trouble tracking and catching anything over his head. His strength is on the perimeter or slashing inside/outside out of the slot. He's too much to handle for just about any LB. Not having Cook to draw some safety interest to the middle of the field is a meaningful loss; his numbers were not impressive but the chemistry was just starting to develop. Getting him back will change the landscape assuming he does not end up on IR. If and when Cook gets back, I believe Montgomery's utility will be as that 3rd. down back, particularly if it's not long yardage where the D reflexively goes into dime. What you want is to isolate him on a LB. If you run him out there on third down as a draw threat, i.e., identified by the defense as a "running back", you keep the D in nickel and can isolate him on that LB, either releasing out of the backfield or setting or motioning to the slot.
