Why don't we have Barber and Felix in our BASE formations?

[TheSport78]

Occasionally put Barber in the fullback position and Felix as the HB, and then on specific downs motion Felix into the flat or into the slot. Make the defense account for both RB's on EVERY series. I'de rather have Felix Jones on the field rather than Deon Anderson. Then in the 3rd quarter bring in Choice to spell Barber. Barber can be used as a brutalizing FB as well and use a lot of misdirection plays and quick pitches out to Felix in open space. Thoughts?

We saw MBIII at full back a bunch of times this year.

He's never going to be a lead blocker so don't expect to see it more than once or twice a game.

Barber is too small to be used on almost every single play. He was used enough when Felix went down and ended up injured.

You need a RB rotation and really, you don't want Barber touching the ball much more than 10 times before the 4th.

And for those, who ad nauseum, keep suggesting that Barber run 25 times a game, I'll remind you guys of the curse of 370.
