What about FB? There are a couple very nice players available

Not a need but still would be nice...

In this system, which one is that?

We have been running a lot of 2 TE sets instead of putting a FB in, mainly because we do not have one that can do the things BP wants. Make no mistake that BP loves playing FB's. Remember Richie Anderson.

So it is not about the system, but the players in it, and with Dan Campbell now gone who are we going to rely on in those 2 TE sets as an extra blocker. I would rather go with one of these nice FB's.

That is complete in utter BS. We ran a bunch of 2TE sets because That was the preferred formation of Parcells. The guy was a TE for chissakes. The first year hes here he picks up Witten and takes him under his wing. Anderson when he played was not a FB like I know youre thinking of he played mostly at HB and on third downs as a receiver out of the backfield. Sorry Moose Johnston is not coming back.

You guys act like Polite is just trash. He showed good hands out of the backfield and demonstrated he is tough to take down. He is more than an adequate blocker and he plays on special teams. He is exactly what Parcells said he wanted out of a fullback.

Tony Richardson, the one that got away.

Richardson was a versatile guy in his prime. He ran for 700 yards in '00 and caught a lot of balls too. I hear he would like to be a RB/FB coach after he retires...
