The Fullback
The Pats use a FB James Develin, we have Anthony Sherman and J.D.Moore. Way back when the stud ground gainers were FB's, Jim Brown, Jim Taylor, Joe "Jet" Perry, John Henry Johnson&&&, Cookie Gilchrist all FB's.
Obviously those days are long gone and have been for a long time but having a stud blocker, a cat who can bang in a 3rd and short, catch that swing pass and punish some little cornerback, why not have a fullback? Yes the guy must be able to catch passes,(Tom Rathman) he must plant the seed.....going out for a pass? Just more stress on a D. Look at the damage Lorenzo Neal*** (a bull from nearby Lemoore, Fresno State wrestler) did as as a lead blocker and he was a load carrying the ball. Why not have one of these? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIzz5Asr998 His dad was a preacher, his uncle Willie a friend of my dad, Willie ran with Tommie Smith on those Lemoore HS 4x1 teams back in the day, The first AFL player to score a TD in a Superbowl (I know) was our FB Curtis McClinton, he was called "The Count", yep, stud. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbTNTISILOs *** Can't remember who Neal was with at the time but they were playing in Japan. So there he is taking on a Sumo wrestler (no doubt a lesser light) yep, ass cheeks all over the place, well Neal knocks him out of the....ring? &&& this guy was famous for breaking face masks with a wicked forearm shiver, a HS decathlete. Like Brown, Taylor, Perry he is a HOFer. And, in the same CFL backfield with Gilchrist, whoa~~~~ Last edited by Ubeja Vontell; 09-14-2019 at 02:17 AM.. |

If it was Coop he would have had to have made about 100 posts about real estate by now and creeped all over Clay's life. Unfortunately I am not brave enough to go back through his post history to confirm.

There is an easy answer.
An extra WR or TE provides a matchup problem for the defense much more so than even the best FB. The way the game is officiated only magnifies the advantage for the offense to use a TE or WR instead of a FB. |

I don't think it's coop, just for the record. IPs aren't even the same area of the country. And regarding these threads in general, I get where you guys are coming from, but it's hard to care about someone who is at least posting football content. It's on our radar, though.

Full backs were more useful in the 50's because they were frequently larger than defensive linemen, or BARELY smaller.
The league shifted to smaller shiftier HB's the bigger DL's got. The defensive linemen now are just too big and too athletic. Linebackers are as big as DL used to be back then and MUCH much faster. Last edited by WhiteWhale; 09-14-2019 at 10:50 AM.. |

When you've got a chance to add discussion about how a big deal it is for a white RB to get a handoff from a black QB, well than you've got to take it.

It's not coop, but damn it's scary to think about that there is another out there lurking in different parts of the country...
