Fullback ideas

[JohnnyLV]

We decided to go without a FB this year when it is usually a staple of this offense. I agreed with the move, especially for Zach since 11 fits him better than 12,

But not having a FB is affecting us on short yardage especially goal line. So I was thinking why not go a little outside the box,

Used sparingly Bryce Huff could be a devastating FB. His get-off is so fast (fastest in the NFL btw) and he is so strong that he would completely blow up the A or B gap. It would be difficult to NOT get a yard.

Clemons could be used in that role as well. 

I think Huff could be so good that even if you prepare for it you might not be able to stop it and it would open a ton of play action options against middle stuffed boxes.

i wont use a defensive guy. they know how to shed blocks not make them.

put a TE back there. maybe the rookie. plus if you do that you can fake the run and he could catch the pass.

My favorite short yardage scheme is 4 wrs, wide splits on the oline and no FB.  Why teams want to let the other team pull their whole team into the tackle to tackle box is beyond me.  Great blocks never get you the one yard you need.

However, I do like having a FB if he can do more than just block.

Using the defensive guy sounds great until we have a false start penalty in a big spot

The lack of the Wesco factor on the Jets comes back to haunt them. Lol

This kid is an awesome fullback! Sign him up!

[AFJF]

Bring back Sheldon Richardson to be your goal line back.

[sciond]

They need The Fridge

I would hand off to Clemons

[CSNY]

Would love a guy like the FB the Niners have whose last name I won’t even begin to try and spell

I would just play one of the reserve OL

 Huff knows how to beat you at the Los, not how to pancake a LB.

Clearly the only person I would trust with the ball would be Quinnen if he can ragdoll a DB going into the endzone.

[CanadienJetsFan]

Take the fattest OLineman and put him in.

Problem solved

Want a fullback or a lead blocker ??? Find the most explosive offensive guard on the roster and have the RB coach give him a day's training on how to handle the ball.  I suppose you could also try out one of the defensive tackles too. 

Imagine Herbig plowing through 1st and goal at the 1 yard line.  Hahaha.  

[jNYC1]

Good call on the thread - I think missing/needing a fullback is an interesting discussion..  especially when we are looking to pound the rock in short yardage.

6 offensive linemen would also be interesting... and I don't think we've done that either.

 

 

[genot]

Who was the FB we had last year. He was used sparingly, but flashed some good skills.

Jusizik?  Juzzcsysyk?  Jizz?

[doitny]

imagine using a DL to be a FB and he gets hurt doing something he should never be doing. this board would lose its mind. 

 

[genot]

To answer my own question. It wad Nick Bowden

[jackhuntr]

This comes to mind.....

What was our record for Wesco's time with the Jets?

[maury77]

I wonder if Ruckert could be an option back there if he lost a little weight

[jNYC1]

Time for the Streveler short yardage package

[Fantasy Island]

James Robinson, get Mekhi to work with him to go from 219 to 239.  Problem solved.

I am a little confused by the whole idea, but I think they are talking about for carries.  

They have the FB from last year, Nick Bawden.  They have carried him on IR all season.  I assume he is not available for 2022, but he is on a one year deal.  There must be a reason they carry him on IR.  Good will maybe? 

I think Ruckert and at least one of the signed TEs played some H-back.  I do not think that will help the short yardage game much.  I know everybody hates LaFleur right now, but I think his sh*t is predicated on making teams think it is a pass and then running.  Having somebody in the backfield does not help that.  I also think he mixes things up based on the treatment formations get earlier in the game.  I wondered if the Vikings were treating the goalline differently, but I guess the general 3rd down conversion rate doesn't bear that out either.

The idea is to use someone on the roster with size and quickness as a lead blocker in certain situations.

If that is the case, why D line over O?  I would agree that Huff is among the worst choices for lead blocker, though he does seem to have good feet.  At that point we are looking for an extra Olineman or TE and I htink that skews the defensive lineup against our being able to run.

Is it nuanced enough?

[Larz]

Conklin ?

The Vikings went with TE Tyler Conklin with their first fifth-round pick, and Mike Zimmer said he’ll be used as a TE/FB/H-back in John DeFilippo’s offense, lining up just about anywhere in the backfield or inline.

 

 

LaFluer just gave up on the role tbh. He love’s shotgun 4 wide

Nick Bawden is coming back here next year.  Apparently his trip to injured reserve was real and the team has told him they want him back.

It should be Jeremy Ruckert

Wesco a TE.

Interesting. I actually liked Bawden. However I think there is a far greater than 50% chance LaFleur is gone so not sure a FB will be needed for next offense.
