Sadly college doesn't turn out Fullbacks as they once did.  Not ones that can Block, Run and Catch anyway.  NFL teams either have to convert a college RB into an NFL FB, or a TE into a FB.  Heck, many college teams go empty backfield so much, it's amazing they still turn out running backs. It is the era of the running quarterback, however that is a good way to get a high priced NFL QB career injured. I hate seeing Burrow after all his injuries, getting pushed by Bengals into a rugby scrum by his team mates.  I think Burrows main job is to throw the ball, not be a fullback up the middle.  I always fear Burrow is one more injury away from being career injured like Greg Cook. I'm not a fan of always Burrow scrum on short yardage against NFL Defense Monsters.  I think Burrow is elusive in the pocket, but not a true running quarterback.  Burrows strength is The Hurry Up Offense at LSU and finding open receivers as he wears out defenses still trying to catch their breath from defensing his last pass. When Burrow is on fire passing and in a Hurry Up, that is his real strength, not running. This is why teams should fear him in a 2 minute drill.

Losing KJ seemed like a shocker, and it sounds like his potential jumped off of the screen.

could shine with us. We really needed another End with upside after the Cam Sample and Myles Murphy injuries and Gunter retiring.


The NFL adjusts in waves. Just like I think Chase being in the Slot more on Offense could be a thing of the future, a big FB that punishes 
these smaller Linebackers could be a way to combat their speed.

Clemson was pretty good so I’m surprised he made it thru waivers in a league that so desperately needs pass rushers and especially pass rushers from low picks



This guy shouldn’t have ever been able to come here but I’m not mad

Carson Steele’s almost touchdown run was so beautiful. The Chiefs preseason sensation worked his way to RB2 this summer. He runs downhill fast and is physical through contact. This is well blocked and Steele does the rest. Crocky J would be proud. ? ? pic.twitter.com/ft5w7UasFr
