The Fiammetta Props Thread

[Jimz31]

Not enough can be said about his play. He's leading through the hole and blowing up defenders has been nothing but exemplary. I am just loving watching him play. It's like he's Moose redux.

Murray, like Emmitt, is benefiting greatly due to the FB position.

He absolutely stood up a LB on one of Murray's big runs...it was a thing of beauty. Just stopped the guy dead in his tracks.

To think we signed and released and resigned both Fiametta and Robinson.


Murray is amazing and making his own plays out there, but Fiametta just makes it that much easier. He gets his guy every time

 

[JohnsKey19]

I say it every week - the guy is near excellent as a blocking FB. What a gift it was to get him off waivers.

 

[Venger]

He goes out looking to hit, and accomplishes that. Doesn't get stuck in space blocking nobody, or whiffing, or getting dusted aside. Hits his guy and neutralizes him. He's doing his job nicely out there.

best FB since Moose--I was ready to not have a FB until he showed up. There is a real skill in making the lead block and he has it.

Not on just one run, but on nearly every run, he is hitting the guy and standing them up. On a running play, I watch first the FB and am just giddy over what I see on nearly every running play from him.

 

[casmith07]

Another thing too is when he hits guys, he stays with the block -- he doesn't stand a guy up and then let his guy shuck and make the tackle.

I'm a fan of Fiammetta, but I'm also a fan of Garrett throwing to the backs in general. All we need to see now is the quick FB hand off, and we have the moose. lol

tightends are not fullbacks for those who kept saying that we didn't need a fullback, I think it's pretty clear now why your running game needs a fullback leading into the hole and not a tightend, they bring different tools to the game..


but why is Beuhler still on this team.....

Props, props, props, props, props, props, props, props, props. Love the guy.

How the hell our coaching staff believed that this team didn't need a legitimate fullback throughout the 21st century (until now) is simply mind boggling.

we were trying. We tried to convert a LB, went through several other guys like Cricket; just took a while to find one

Such a difference between this guy and the guys we carted out there the past few years or so. I am glad we found him. Hopefully we keep him now.

He sure did...I also saw Phillips make a heck of a block to spring Murray for a big gain in the early part of the game.

Fiametta has been absolutely fantastic and has been a huge part of our recent success in the run game. Now don't get me wrong, Murray also deserves a great deal of credit for his vision, speed, and agility. Having both Murray and Fiametta together has been huge for us.

Every time the dude runs the lead block you always hear the crack of the shoulder pads. He was definitely trucking some guys out there today. Murray sets up blocks so well. He dips his shoulders outside to get the defender to move that way, TF comes in blocks him that way and Murray cuts inside of the block. Or Murray goes half speed waits for the block to occur then accelerates past the blocker.

Tanner runs with aggression. He runs like he is trying to make the team. I like the make up of the backs right now. Getting Felix back will it that much better.

tony is so valuable in what he brings week in and week out.

we got us a fullback everyone.

i'm excited about this team going forward.

 

[dez_for_prez]

Dude has been an absolute STUD for us in every game he has played. Props to him and our coaching staff for stealing him from the Panthers

 

[Wolfpack]

Great thread. Love this guy.
