Hoover being out is worse than people can imagine, however...

I think we should put MacKenzy Bernadeau in at fullback. Yea, he's 6'4" and 300 lbs. but he is relatively fast for a big guy and gets downfield on special teams pretty good. Losing Hoover at the point of attack is going to be tough to overcome with a King, a Rosario, or a Barnidge. Put Bernadeau in the backfield for the game and smash his big ass up the gut. It's not like we ever check down to Hoover on pass plays or hand the ball off to him more than once a game. We just need somebody that can block like Hoover. Why not a guard that is used to pulling?

Just a thought.

I have to admit, thinking about our backs having a 6'4 300lb FB leading the way makes my penis tingle a little.

he should be cheap if he wants to play.

We need somebody that knows the offense and terminology for Sunday. If Neal did come in, he might be able to pick up a few things quick because fullback is not rocket science. However, protections are pretty confusing and NO has some weird blitz packages. I'd prefer a guy with knowledge of our schemes and the ability to throw a mean block in cramped space.

[SMACKDAB]

Didn't Bernadeau previously play fullback in college, or am I confusing him with one of our other defensive members?

[SCP]

not sure. i thought he was always a guard.

[SMACKDAB]

I can't remember it was one of our TE's, or somebody on our defensive unit, but there is SOMEONE on our team that used to play several positions, and fullback was one of them.

Now I'm gonna go crazy to I figure it out.

Rosario out of Oregon

No need for craziness.

peppers at fullback

Sounds like a good idea. Fox isn't that creative though.

I believe they used Bernadeau as a TE eligible on the last drive of the Tampa game, so he is definitely an option in the run game. That would be a pretty good way to take advantage of the Saints lack of size up front.
