Denver's offense has often utilized FB/TE hybrids for wham blocking and short routes. One of their favorite stunts is to put the back in motion, then have him move towards the line, then flare out along the LOS for a short pass. It's hoped the receiver gets lost by the defense who won't send anyone out to cover him because they are selling out to stop the run or get to the QB. This is used in goalline and short yardage packages.
It would not shock me at all if Kubiak intends to use Casey this way.
