The base 2-TE / 1-RB set can be used in a variety of formations.

-- If the defense stacks the line, then split the 2 TEs wide for a spread formation.
-- If the defense goes nickel, then keep the TEs in tight for a power formation.

In particular, VD is the one who makes this really deadly: he is one of the best blocking TEs in the game and also one of the fastest, making him equally effective in-line or out-wide.

Reminds me of the 80s and 90s when Craig & Rathman and Watters & Floyd could either split out wide or stay in the backfield, transforming the offense from a base 2-back formation to a 4-WR set with simple pre-snap motion.
