....uhh like who would our FB be...?

Robinson is out?

What the hell happened to Robinson?

Maybe turbin or Washington.

He's hurt and is status is unknown. Apparently he went to see a specialist today, which doesn't sound good.

It got me to thinking....we don't have another FB on the roster. I suspect we might use Miller as an H back and go with a lot of single back sets. Taua would be nice, but he is IR'd.

Fullback Michael Robinson also is seeing a specialist for his wrist injury, according to Carroll.

I'd put McCoy at fullback. I've seen that dude throw some filthy blocks.

Nvmd. If its just a wrist injury just put a club on it and he'll play.

Can he still operate a handheld camera? I would hate to lose him all together!

Win.

I love the worry but totally agree !!

Let's try Sweezy!

I wouldnt be surprised if they didnt resign Kregg Lumpkin in that situation.

Hmmm....forgot about Kregg. Probably right.

I really don't think these guys would make good FBs at all, especially Washington.

sweezy is a great idea

Likely would use a TE...we are also low in the WR group with injuries. None of these guys has an IR type injury, so we have to take care in bringing in people as we have to cut people to do it. It will be interesting to hear Pete's presser tomorrow to find out how all these guys are doing and if they make any moves.

Actually DO put a 280-300 pounder in there like SF does. Just blast a hole...or a TE will have huge play action implications

Necessity is the mother of invention

And I think we need something different on our running plays...crack backs...traps. Something instead of marshawn up the middle...hope he isn't out but if he is???

The problem with putting a TE or Sweezy in there is that they have to be good at identifying the reads from the ZBS and leading the RB into the correct hole. It can be done but I wonder how effectively it would be.

Not good. He's a big part of our running game. Remember how Lynch did when Robinson was out last year? Hope it's nothing major.

Tebow time! I kid, I kid...sorta

This isn't a novel idea either, because even tho they had the late great Walter Peyton, the Bears use to put William "THE REFRIDGERATOR" Perry in at the goal line to pound the rock LOL.

I recall Vai Tua doing well at fb this preseason. He would give us a good fb outta the backfield option as well.

I thought Tua was on the IR after the team cut him. Will have to go look.

EDIT: Yep, he is on IR

Reserve/Injured
# Name Pos. Ht. Wt. Age Exp. College
58 Davis, Dexter DE 6-1 244 25 3 Arizona State
88 Morrah, Cameron TE 6-3 251 25 4 California
87 Obomanu, Ben WR 6-1 204 29 7 Auburn
40 Taua, Vai RB 5-10 211 24 2 Nevada

Is it wrong that like some of you, my first thought was Sweezy?

BRENO

This is where I would love to see Morrah, but Mlller will work.

I say in all seriousness though? Turbin... He is the PERFECT mold, plus he can get a lot more touches.

My point was more like

Do something different...even I it's wrong

When we put a big blaster in there....they will cheat up in box and we can then go over the top...

Run straight ahead and blast somebody...who cares about zone blocking at that point. The FBs job is to blast the first guy in the hole I think we are over thinking the suggestion. Give teams so tape to look at

Houston is very successful because they line up with the same formation and run 6 different plays from it. We run one! Pardon me...3...lynch right, lynch left, lynch up the middle. Or wait...a quick screen with the DB in press coverage!

He will be needed huge.I hope he is healthy and does not miss much time.Also like the idea of McCoy at FB in his place.
