Bobby Wolford - Fullback - Boston College

[Jeremy Igo]

Taking a look at fullbacks I will covet this offseason. This guy may be it.

Started out at linebacker, converted to fullback a few years ago and has done very well. Primarily a blocking machine.

6'2, 248lb senior.

Any kid that is tough enough to play linebacker and fullback is worth a look. Just screams football player, which the Panthers really need.

Can be had in the late rounds or UDFA.

Do my eyes deceive me...an actual thread with opinion and insight and not just a tweet..

I'm for whoever can run over mother fugers.

[Jeremy Igo]

Do they make them like they used to ?

Is it possible to find a real mean, mean fuging FB .. maybe a FB with the personality of Trai Turner?

I feel like measurables are overrated in looking for a FB to fit this offense .. many guys have nice measurables, but how many guys have that attitude like Marshawn Lynch in that video .. "and run over a motherfu*kers face, and again, and again, and again"

I want the FB with THAT mentality, and you can only figure this out really in interviews

Good question. The fact that he has played linebackerooking to dish punishment is a good sign as far as mentality.

His last name is close to Wofford so it's destiny.

We are one of the few teams that even carry a FB anymore.  If Shula is fired, I doubt our new scheme will rely on a FB.  If Shula is kept, I just hope to God that FB isn't Tolbert.

What ever happens the shotgun read option must go.

Everyone uses a FB. They may not start like they used to in years past and most of them may not be a traditional blocking FB, but all teams have a designated FB in some packages. We just have the most ineffective FB in the league and need to get one whether they are a traditional FB or not. I would prefer a traditional one though.

Actually that is inaccurate.  Over a third of NFL teams don't even carry a FB on their roster.  Several others rarely play a FB.  A TE used as an H-back is replacing the traditional FB.

Yeah that's what I mean by they may not be a traditional blocking FB. Teams may have a TE as a FB, but they still have a FB designed in some packages. Whether we do the same by carrying an extra TE or get an actual FB, we need to do it because Tolbert is trash.

Oh ok I gotcha.

I still don't see the downside to carrying a real FB. I mean I don't really see the point of carrying an extra TE just for the sake of having someone play FB.

We should've fuging signed Marcel Reese. This whole season is a whole cluster fug of things we should've done but didn't do.
