tanner koziol — cut-up episode 2
This All-22 breakdown highlights how Houston tight end Tanner Koziol is used as a big-slot mismatch—living in motion to avoid press, stressing defenses off play action, and turning his skyscraper catch radius into a red-zone problem.
Across four quick sequences, we look at how Koziol’s alignment and motion help him avoid early contact, how Houston uses him in play-action concepts to attack space, and why his “zip code” catch radius shines inside the 20. The reel then pivots to his work in the run game and pass protection, showing leverage-conscious run blocking, more true pass-pro reps on his Houston tape, and the savvy zone feel that lets him find voids, finish through contact, and stack YAC on top of his frame and hands.
