Hawk at MLB?

As for the TE being lined up on the right, beyond what others have posted, I also think running to that side as the dominant running side, is more natural for a right handed player to block by leading with their left shoulder - ala a right hand boxer who leads with the left jab.

I'm a very dominant right hander, and as a result, find it more difficult not only to move to my left, but to lead with my right shoulder. I was a very good basketball player in HS, and had to work tirelessly to develop my game moving to my left and shooting with my left hand. I was able to master it, but it certainly wasn't natural.

Wist -- Exactly right about how most RBs just seem to like to run right. A lot of them like to carry the ball with their right hands (Green being a famous exception), which means the ball's on the outside when running right, so that's another reason beyond QB preferences.

I thought those where the main reasons. I thought it had to do with the running back running better to the right too but apparently the blockign has a lot to do with it as well. I was thinking it was something along those lines.

Also, if the strong side of the formation is the right then the QB can see his targets better when he drops back. He doesn't have to turn his head and then turn and throw. It's better for a lot of reasons.

In the end, Hawk will be a WLB. CAll it an OLB or whatever, but he's not going to be on the right side of the offense. I'm almost certain of that.
