A damned good H-back can open a lot of holes for the running game, and make life a little easier for the QB, by picking up blitzes. People sometimes mistake them for a second TE, but they are usually in the slot. Sometimes they will move up on the line, so a WR can motion. Lots of options and variations, but it's a position that needs someone who can read the defense, get to his assignment quickly, and throw monster blocks.
