for all of us who were old enough to remember the glory of Joe Gibbs but too young to know the plays and formations: what exactly sets an H-Back apart from a TE or FB? i know its been discussed in countless other threads, but couldn't find a needed dedicated thread.

my general impression is that an H-Back is essentially a blocking FB lined up at the much more mobile and versatile TE position. what are the priorities (besides brains)? attributes compared to either? and how are they used most?
