We need another Hoover

Recommended Posts

Im sorry but i think a big reason why our run game and offensive line is half as good as it was, is because of well.... hoov.

And i know there are not many proper full backs in the league anymore but damn, thoughts?

Are you even watching Fiameta or did you just think .."hmm since Hoover left it doesn't seem like we run as well anymore?" Not trying to diss or anything I'm just curious.

It's not like Hoover was an instant impact player, it took him a while to get the gist of it, same with Fiametta.

I wouldn't even say he was a impact player, because in reality he really didn't run or catch enough to be one in that sense but he did spring alot of runs so i get that, but he just strikes me as the type of guy in the huddle on 3rd and short and says run it up the middle as he points to the running back and says follow me.

and i also feel like the running backs trusted hoover more then fiametta which could be a big reason why we are half as good at running now

Hoover became a huge impact player but run blocking FB is a thankless position where stats don't tell the story.

I like Fiametta, but he's still learning too and with the new offense I wouldn't count on seeing too much of him.

Hey, im not saying Fiametta is bad or anything like that matter a fact i think he can become our next brad hoover.... the question was more along the lines of, do you think a brad hoover level full back is what is holding us back from what we are capable of?
