Askew was never a good lead blocker. You want Askew back here? I don't. Richardson is 37 and still one of the best FB's in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah really, also his track record speaks for its self. Theres no harm in a 1 year deal, however its up to the OC to actually use a FB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering this is the first real FB Schotty has had I think he will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drago Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 who cares about the full back. they just signed keller in the first round, have a guy in stuckey that they seemed like they wanted to use, the stupid brad smith experiment...i'd be surprised if Richardson saw 6 snaps a game.

Sperm Edwards Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Actually the Jets are doing this exactly right. Sign a veteran who (we hope) has another year left in the tank & pick up a similar-style rookie to learn the ropes from someone who was a master at it. Makes a hell of a lot more sense than throwing millions at a player who was rarely anything but garbage for us. He's doing better with TB than he did with the Jets, so good for Askew. But I don't wish him back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irish Jet Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Well I guess we should scribble in Tampa for the Superbowl. Seriously, Askew blows!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Askew did squat during his time here. Good luck to him and good riddance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenseed3 Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 I wouldn't say he "did squat"... We attempted to use him as a Cooley-type H-back... He didn't have the athleticism. He's got decent size... I think he has found out (the hard way) that his sticking in this league will require doing the hard (Alstott-type) work. I'm pretty sure he'd prefer to not be a "pounder", and that's exactly what role he'll have in TB. We used him with finesse... he didn't cut it.

124 Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Askew was never more than decent as a lead blocker because he came to Michigan as a Running Back and actually played Running Back for a year before Chris Perry. He switched to Fullback and did a decent job blocking there as well but he was known more, and was drafted because of it, for his pass catching skills out of the backfield, and we all know how much Herm loves his pass catching Fullbacks. Tony Richardson will do just fine and probably better in this offense, especially if Clemens is the Quarterback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonEJet Posted May 17, 2008 Author Share Posted May 17, 2008 All pro fullback that we let get away Another high draft pick we let go Just a trend of this organization Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
