Bring back the FB

John Conner or Braden Wilson. Both are head knockers in running game. And Wilson can also play TE.

An H-back type would make much more sense. They have toyed with the idea for years and it has been mildly successful at times. I wonder if Hannah could fill in as an H-back. He isn't going to seal the edge against defensive lineman, but he could potentially hold up a linebacker long enough for Murray to cut. This also adds another receiver/blocker to the fold who would be very dangerous in our abysmal play-action plays.

People wonder why all of our runningbacks get progressively worse year after year... Hmm, maybe it's the system? Felix Jones was averaging a ridiculous amount of YPC his first and even second season. Then we make him a full time back, bulk him up and try to get him to go up the middle more than along the edges. This year we get rid of our fullback and wonder why Murray's numbers are declining. We need a real OC here, one that knows how to fully utilize talent and isn't trying to get involved in every little fad that comes about.
