PFF: Keith Smith Third Highest Rated FB

[MrMom]

FWIW...

 

[JohnsKey19]

If you watch him closely, he's a very effective lead blocker. Soooo much better than Clutts.

Juszczyk is an awesome FB. Can do it all.

Was impressed by Keith last year. Hopefully he can keep it up

 

[gimmesix]

Is that based on blocking or are there other factors?

 

[TrailBlazer]

How many FB's are there? 4?

Dying position in the NFL. He's done a good job for the Cowboys. A lock for the 53 again this year.

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

If he can develop his route running and hands he will be the best in the NFL.

 

[SportsGuru80]

The kid is a beast... I love his toughness!

Exactly. Its like a prize for being the third best used car salesman in Abilene.

He has done a good job, but is he a lock? If we keep Gathers and have 4 TEs on the 53 I can definitely see us going without a FB.

I can't see us going without a fullback. Garrett likes having one for some running plays.

Was that last year they kept 4? Or was that two years ago? Either way it's hard for me seeing Garrett not keeping at least one. He remembers Moose.

I just went to check the rosters and it looks like its been at least five years since we did. And in doing so I just saw that we carried Tyler Cutts on the roster for three years, so I will now withdraw in shame and delete any posts I made doubting that Garrett will have a FB.

This 4 TE talk needs to stop.

This 4 TE talk needs to stop.

Why?

On that note, why not use Rico as an H-back?

 

[JBond]

Why?

Because I understand football. I have been posting with many of these forum members since Compuserve and AOL were the only chat rooms out there.

Plus, I am right.

Doesn't seem like his best attribute. I hope Witten beats this fundamental trait into him. Blocking .

 

[Kaiser]

Clearly not. And if you were playing back in the days of leather helmets, the CTE would explain your posts.

He could probably do it, he is mobile enough. I was actually thinking about Swaim at HB, though Gathers might be able to as well. We have three veterans in Witten, Hanna and Swaim - plus a guy like Gathers that we don't want to lose. The FB has so few plays on the field I would rather give those snaps to one of the TE's as an HB than lose someone like Gathers or Swaim in the roster cuts.
