Owen Schmitt

[Bob Sacamano]

Perhaps we don't use one because they suck? Interesting concept, no?

or that you can get by just great w/o one?

yes

that you can be much more explosive on O w/o one?

yes again

or that you can get by just great w/o one?

yes

that you can be much more explosive on O w/o one?

yes again

If that's the case then why do we have TWO on our roster, summer?

Why, in the name of god, would we not want to upgrade a weak position?

We wouldn't.

Why would we be more explosive with either fullback on our roster right now than we would with Schmitt, or Hillis for that matter?

We wouldn't again.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

If that's the case then why do we have TWO on our roster summer?

because Hoyte isn't that good, so we drafted Anderson

needed both for special teams

Why, in the name of god, would we not want to upgrade a weak position?

We wouldn't.

upgrading the FB position

bottom of the list

Why would we be more explosive with either fullback on our roster right now than we would with Schmitt, or Hillis for that matter.

We wouldn't again.

the 2-TE offense, my friend

I know Schmitt is a white bruiser, but give it a rest guys

 

[JPM]

Anything but 4.58 and we're fine.

If he runs 4.58 we have to draft, any player that runs that time must be picked by Dallas. I don't care if it's 6 rounds of QB's.

 

[theogt]

because Hoyte isn't that good, so we drafted Anderson

Hoyte was the only decent FB on the roster when we drafted Anderson, no? We needed another FB. It was not about him replacing Hoyte. You yourself have argued in the past that you always want at least 2 FBs on the roster.

Hoyte >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Anderson

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Hoyte was the only decent FB on the roster when we drafted Anderson, no? We needed another FB. It was not about him replacing Hoyte.

it was about special teams then

:laugh2: when? when??

lol at Hoyte being that much better than ANderson, after all of Wade's proclamations that Hoyte was the starter, he didn't see that role again until Deon went down, and he magically healed at that precise moment, please

 

[tomson75]

because Hoyte isn't that good, so we drafted Anderson

...and Anderson isn't that good either.

needed both for special teams

Interestingly enough, Schmitt would improve special teams too. Weird.

upgrading the FB position

bottom of the list

Says who? Name the weakest offensive position on our team from top to bottom.

That's right, its fullback.

the 2-TE offense, my friend

I know Schmitt is a white bruiser, but give it a rest guys

I'm aware of the 2 TE set. I'm one of the lucky few that realizes that the Fasano pick wasn't a waste. However, you do realize that you can run a 2 back set AND a 2 TE set, right? Of course you do. We're not going to completely trash the FB position anytime soon. Why adopt weak players in the meantime?

H-back? That's right, Schmitt has been projected there too.

I could care less what color he is. I could care less if other people don't like him, or don't want him drafted, but I do care when people post ignorant comments regarding the situation.

Anderson > Schmitt? Schmitt is slow?

Um, no.

 

[theogt]

it was about special teams then

You're right. When Hoyte is healthy, Anderson's best chance of contributing is special teams.

:laugh2: when? when??

Ask abersonc.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

...and Anderson isn't that good either.

he improved to where he was sufficient, the staff is extremely high on him because of the improvement he showed

they traded picks in order to move up to draft him, and damn sure aren't going to turn around and use another pick on a FB, a high one

Interestingly enough, Schmitt would improve special teams too. Weird.

good for him, but FBs who can play STeams is already taken

Says who? Name the weakest offensive position on our team from top to bottom.

That's right, its fullback.

and where does FB rank on importance

bottom

I'm aware of the 2 TE set. I'm one of the lucky few that realizes that the Fasano pick wasn't a waste. However, you do realize that you can run a 2 back set AND a 2 TE set, right? Of course you do.

nor feature it

H-back? That's right, Schmitt has been projected there too.

we already have one, a much better one

I could care less what color he is. I could care less if other people don't like him, or don't want him drafted, but I do care when people post ignorant comments regarding the situation.

Anderson > Schmitt? Schmitt is slow?

Um, no.

who said that? I agree that Schmitt could be an upgrade

so what? it's not worth spending a high, draft pick on

 

[Bob Sacamano]

You're right. When Hoyte is healthy, Anderson's best chance of contributing is special teams.

Ask abersonc.

that's why Hoyte didn't get his starter's job back until Anderson went down

you find where I've advocated 2 FBs on the roster, I did no such thing, I hate the idea of wasting roster spots

 

[tomson75]

he improved to where he was sufficient

I disagree.

good for him

I'll pass on your sentiment.

and where does FB rank on importance

bottom

I disagree. Besides, it only takes one guy on the field to botch a play. Ask Anderson and Hoyte.

nor feature it

I guarantee you we would see the two back set far more often if we drafted Schmitt or Hillis.

we already have one, a better one

Perhaps, but how does having depth hurt us? you don't like having versatile players? Saves roster spots too, I hear you like that.

who said that? I agree that Schmitt could be an upgrade

cstrous or whoever said it like ten posts ago, and your right, he would be.

so what? it's not worth spending a high, draft pick on

Never said it was. I agree, that's why I'd like to see him there on day two, then do what it takes to get him.

 

[theogt]

that's why Hoyte didn't get his starter's job back until Anderson went down

Uhh...maybe because he had nerve damage? It was unfortunate that Anderson went down so quickly, because it forced us to rush Hoyte back from his injury. We're fortunate he didn't do more damage.

you find where I've advocated 2 FBs on the roster, I did no such thing, I hate the idea of wasting roster spots

I'm not digging through your posts. But when Anderson went down you had a lengthy argument with abersonc about the team needing to add another FB because we always need 2 FBs on the roster.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

I disagree.

that's why Wade raved about his improvement, and reports were that Deon was developing into a nice receiver out of the backfield

ok

deleted for lamenes

:

QB>FB
RB>FB
TE>FB
all 5 line positions>FB

yeah, I'd say it's bottom of the totem-pole

I guarantee you we would see the two back set far more often if we drafted Schmitt or Hillis.

with better weapons at TE in Witten and Fasano, I doubt it

Perhaps, but how does having depth hurt us? you don't like having versatile players? Saves roster spots too, I hear you like that.

Deon Anderson is versatile

cstrous or whoever said it like ten posts ago, and your right, he would be.

ok, what does abersunk have to do w/ me?

Never said it was. I agree, that's why I'd like to see him there on day two, then do what it takes to get him.

4th round at the earliest

 

[theogt]

Deon Anderson is versatile

If by 'versatile' you mean 'not particularly good at anything,' yes.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Uhh...maybe because he had nerve damage? It was unfortunate that Anderson went down so quickly, because it forced us to rush Hoyte back from his injury. We're fortunate he didn't do more damage.

again, magically heals when Deon goes down

I'm not digging through your posts. But when Anderson went down you had a lengthy argument with abersonc about the team needing to add another FB because we always need 2 FBs on the roster.

never took place

 

[Bob Sacamano]

If by 'versatile' you mean 'not particularly good at anything,' yes.

young players can't improve?

they obviously saw enough potential in Deon to trade up for him

man, I can't wait till we pass on Schmitt

 

[theogt]

again, magically heals when Deon goes down

Did we have a choice? It's either bring him back early or pick up another FB.

they forced Hoyte to play?:laugh2: you're rich dude, full of exaggerations

the neck wasn't that serious, his lack of ability is however

Nerve damage? At the time, they thought bringing him back would cause more damage and force an off-season injury. Fortunately no more damage was caused.

if the risk was great to cause serious injury, Hoyte would have been put on IR

it's a pinched nerve, dude, I don't recall Wade expressing grave feelings about it, it wasn't as serious as you exaggerate it to be
