Dallas just released FB Fiametta...

[TruCatzFan]

I know... I know... Another one of these...

But I can't seem to get that graphic out of my mind from that MNF game,

The one that said when Fiametta was in on Rushing plays they averaged 12.6 ypc, as opposed to 1.8 when he wasn't on the field.

This is a great chance to correct a BIG mistake imo!

[TNPanther]

then why did Dallas cut him?

[megadeth078]

yeah, I was really bummed out when we let him go...

part of me thinks that we only let him go because we didn't want to use a fullback running system anymore after Hoover retired. We're pretty much just using our tight ends whenever our plays call for a fullback now. Not sure how well that is working out though.

then why did Dallas cut him?

you haven't seen their offense have you? they don't know anything about using a fullback.

[Dpantherman]

Err... it wasn't a mistake. They don't want him.

Our TEs do a good enough job as FBs, plus you have to be a pretty flexible player in terms of capabilities in Chud's offense. Which Fiametta wasn't.

[csx]

I believe we just tendered our blocking FB/TE type guy.

[TruCatzFan]

I hope we pick him back up... You guys are forgetting that Shockey may be gone.

[iamcline]

We don't use a FB enough to warrant him.

[wade]

Good call. Panthers really struggled running the ball last year.

And?

[megadeth078]

I believe we just tendered our blocking FB/TE type guy.

Yeah, it seems that there is no place for a fullback in Chud's offense if they can't also play some tight end and special teams. I really doubt we're even thinking about Fiametta at this point.

Wtf? You make no sense.

[Zithers]

we had the most dynamic run game in the league without a fullback

signing one would be pointless
