Dallas just released FB Fiametta...

[jtnc]

We're wrong, and you are ALWAYS right. Whatever.

[megadeth078]

Whatever... You're obviously just trying to piss me off.

I mean what offense would want to gain 12.6 ypc??

You need to educate yourself on how often we use our fullback. Even if we picked him up, he would be a waste of a roster spot because he can't also play tight end/special teams. Reserving a roster spot for a fullback-only player when we only use a fullback in like 10% (random stat) of our plays is ridiculous.

Not to mention, there isn't only one way to generate offense in this league. We clearly have a different idea of what constitutes an effective offense these days. He no fit our scheme.

[PhillyB]

haha you idiot we're not going to sign a mediocre fullback and arrange our entire scheme around him because you think he is magically going to get us 12 yards per carry

[DJ Insicion]

I do like Fiametta but we need to spend money in other places right now, no matter how cheap he would come. Our running game got going and was rolling just fine with the pieces we have already........no thanks

FB are just a dying breed in the NFL

[Delhommey]

Vickers is a better FB.

Who needs a FB?

[Argus Plexus]

Sweet justice

[Stroupe-a-loop]

. . .what happened here?

[rico6]

Well, there was my laugh for the day.

wouldn't matter if they avg. 30 yds. every play he was on the field.

stupid to even think of bringing him back.

FB's are going the way of the straight on kicker.

[Thorrez]

What if he can be used as a closer?

I agree he does not fit our system and have no use on the field in the first half. But we sucked at protecting a lead last year. So a FB that can take out a LB to give our RBs 1-2 extra yards on runs in obvious run the clock situation might not be a bad idea. There is a big difference between 3rd and 4 and 3rd and 7 as we all know from the Fox days...

Sure, it is a luxury to waste a roster spot. And maybe he is not even that guys. But I think it is an option to consider.

[Herbert The Love Bug]

he'll be in denver playing for fox in no time

You do realize we aren't a power running team anymore, right? We use two TE sets, instead of one te and one fb.

Yes, thats why I say this is for second half while protecting a lead, something we sucked at last year, only.

I am not proposing changing our offense, I am just proposing that have another option is special situation might be worth one roster spot.
