Was it right to go with Felton over Fiammetta?

[Jackofalltrades]

This offense didn't need a true fullback, so I wasn't surprised to see him go...

They replaced him with another "true" FB, so that doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

he was released because was hurt and one dimensional.

You're right that Felton is a true FB but he has much more experience catching balls out of the backfield than Fiammetta did... at least, I think he did. I looked the guy up when we first brought him in, I assumed they brought him in because they liked something they saw on film and figured he'd fit better than Fiammetta. Thought Felton was more rounded or something.

however I don't think it matters who our FB is, our offense uses a FB maybe four times a game it seems, heh.

We rarely rely on the running game. So we got rid of a traditional FB and got one that is more diverse to fit our scheme. Blocking, running, receiving. I don't agree with it but understand why.

Felton is a RB/FB type of back so I dont understand calling him a true FB

[Jackofalltrades]

He's a lead blocker first and foremost, thus the term. Fiametta could catch and run as well. I also disagree with letting Sutton go, who was more of a hybrid back than anyone else on the roster.

I mean if we actually ran the ball, I might question the decision. Doesn't make much difference.

dropping sutton made me sad but he wouldn't have gotten any playing time anywhere here.

Fiammetta perhaps could catch and run, but he didn't show it as often as Felton had was all I was saying.

[ed bell]

I disagree with calling Felton a true FB...he's basically been converted to one and plugged into the FB role during his NFL career. I wouldn't be surprised to see his role enhanced here, but considering the offense scheme, I doubt he'll get many chances to prove himself.

Felton >>> Fiammetta

[CarolinaAllDay]

We need a mike alstott type fb.

[AceMan]

I was actually gonna say how happy I am that Fia is actually doing well, until I remembered he's a Cowboy...so fug him

[rodeo]

Felton is without a doubt a better lead blocker than Fiametta.

wish we still had him
