no thats huge waste of resources, FB is position you can use rookie for 3-4 years and turn it over.. if tailback isnt important , all of a sudden FB is must have vet? no i disagree im betting Sewo Ololinua gets the job, better to have big FB that also when in could take the ball and run as well with success.. we wasted Olawalale money the last few years..this offense is loaded and a rookie can man the FB position..
Imagine a 3 back set with Zeke, Pollard and Sewo Ololinua .. you dont know whos running whos blocking and which one gets the fake and goes out in route for abig pass play..al options are open , great for a 3rd or 4th down and short yard to go or RZ..Im sure its similar to what the ravens do albeit a better run weapon at QB but still could throw defenses off big time..
those "converted " rookies would still have to prove themselves as adaptable and suitable
to be full time FBs, as they are not established FBs. The technique, physicality, lwo center of gravity,
and frankly i'm not interested in having just another RB oriented Olawele 2.0 ... instead of a John Kuhn. 2.0
Getting a cheap, vet FB off the street, that the Scouts filmed out could cut down on the learning process especially given
the very limited time between now and reg season.
And those thinking about just throwing a Schultz in there at FB
it's a big difference between having a legit FB vs subbing a TE to be a FB.
And as i pointed in Fullback thread, we still see several compeititive teams (even passing oriented teams)
like Pats, Saints that are still using that occasional FB, particularly as occasionally physical lead blockers in run game,
as a change up look.
. As far as Sewo Ololinua in the game with Zeke or Pollard in a
3 back set. - what is this ? a Wishbone formation? lol ....
