Some numbers on Tony Fiammetta

[Eskimo]

This came from the NFL combine:

Height: 6-1
Weight: 245
40-yard dash: 4.58
10-yard split: 1.53
Bench press: 30 reps
Vertical: 34 inches
20-yard shuttle: 4.49
3-cone drill: 7.31

He is actually a pretty good athlete for a guy who is such a strong blocker at the point of attack.

I do wonder if they are going to be able to turn him into an effective receiver at some point in time. With all of the attention paid to the RB, TE and WRs when he is out there I think the defense can easily forget about him altogether. Romo hits him with a dumpoff and he takes off down the field with his 4.6 speed and then puts a lick on some poor DB who crosses his path.

This made me think of what I believe to be one of the most amazing plays in the history of football, given the size of the man involved...

Using Full Backs and Half Backs in the passing game, makes D-coordinators think about blitzing so much.

I've been suprised that they have not thrown him the ball more often.

I think he'll become more involved in the passing game as the season moves along.

He's been thrown to just one time so far here in Dallas (a 15 yard completion vs the Commanders).

It did look like Romo was going to pass to him in the endzone of the Rams game. But as Romo looked to him, and appeared ready to throw. The DB of the Lions went to defend Fiammetta and left a wide open Jason Witten in the back of the end zone for the Touchdown.

He also dropped one in that same game. But on the completion, he appears to have decent running ability relatively speaking for a fullback.

If we scheme it up right, his next catch should be an easy 15-20 yds.

how many 3 yard, stiff receptions did Moose have? not sure how threatening Johnson was but he did force someone to cover him
