The guy would have cleared the way for Marshawn's game winning super bowl 49 touchdown.
He'll do it again in super bowl 50.

Meh, if Coleman was playing that ridiculous pass to Lockett would have never happened given Tuku is a backup oddity at best.XxXdragonXxX":262drxme said:Scottemojo":262drxme said:I don't like this all that much. What does he offer that Gilliam doesn't? Yeah he had a couple splash plays. I want a full back to be a real offensive threat.
Tuku is a dual threat. He had some decent pressure as a rotational guy at the end of a few games. Decent blocker, no threat as a pass catcher really.
I'm not a huge Coleman fan. I'd like a real FB to be drafted.
Slim to none unless Tuku can actually play defense enough to be in the regular rotation.Hawk-Lock":2enozp0h said:What are the chances both Coleman and Tuku make the team?

Yes. This is pure play the back up insanity. He's being paid nothing for a reason. And Coleman was being that actual double threat on offense, where an ACTUAL fullback plays right?NFSeahawks628":2y3su6sv said:MizzouHawkGal":2y3su6sv said:Meh, if Coleman was playing that ridiculous pass to Lockett would have never happened given Tuku is a backup oddity at best.XxXdragonXxX":2y3su6sv said:Scottemojo":2y3su6sv said:I don't like this all that much.

Are you serious?
LOL.

Well they play different positions. I mean, I'd be all for having Gilliam compete there and see what happens, but I think the FO envisions Gilliam as a future LT. He has the tools to be a very good one, and I think they are intrigued to find out how well he responds to coaching.
Nice thing about Gilliam is that even if he fails as an OL, he could still develop into a good blocking TE, which Seattle is in short supply of.
I haven't watched enough of Tukuafu to give a fair opinion on his performance. My initial feeling about him is that he adds some intangible toughness to our offense much the same way Lynch does. He is almost like the perfect opposite of Coleman in many ways, and I think Coleman is pretty terrible most of the time.

He (Marshawn) told me the first day I came over here, 'You can do no wrong,' " Tukuafu recalled. "I'm like, 'What?' I'm like, 'So, how do you want me to attack this guy? You want my head on the outside?' He's like, 'Dude, just go hit him. We're going to race to see who can hit him first, so try to beat me there.' "

I would think expanding his role on offense would be mandatory.
