Good subject.

I truly wish we had a bonafied fullback on the 43 and actually used him. I feel a FB would have fared better to help open up holes inside the Tackles for both Zeke and Pollard. Crazy how our rushing attack has suffered all season, yet this coaching staff continues to refuse to employ and use a FB, especially since our Oline has suffered terribly due to injuries and inexperience.

I'm glad FB Sewo Olonilua is still on the practice squad, but with his size (6'3", 240 lbs) and ability to run, block and catch the football, I don't understand why he's not on the 43 man roster and actually used?

We really should call him up. When your oline is decimated, a FB can be a lifesaver.

Most teams don't use a fullback

They motion the tight end back there

Elliot is lost this year. No O-Line or Dak. Kind of sad. And when he breaks a 5 yard or more run he fumbles.
The only reason I find it sad is because he’s on our team and Jerry is the idiot who caved to his ridiculous demands. If he were on another team I would laugh and laugh and laugh, especially if it was a rival team who gave him the same contract we did. I hope the Giants do it with Barkley but I think that all depends if they keep their same GM who may be the most incompetent GM in the league, worse than Jerrah.

Kinda random but was thinking I haven't seen a fullback this year at all.

I saw Woods lined up at FB in goal line and I saw Zeke take a snaps at FB with Pollard at RB.

I thought I read where Mike was a fullback guy?

Yes he opted out and was replaced with Woods in certain packages. : )

Jerry doesn't value FB, so they don't have one...just like they don't have a defense.

That's what I was thinking also, with a OL that is struggling in run blocking, a FB helps at the point of attack.

I also hate seeing a TE at FB, its a completely different body type and doesn't generally work as well. You want a shorter 6'0" max FB as they need to get low and leverage block in the hole. The bigger guys can't get down enough to have the proper angle. (not to mention the proper mind set).

All facts!!

Fullbacks are stupid.

This ain't 1982.
