With all the arguments on the OL versus RW-style approach it's got me thinking back to when we had Leonard Weaver and Mike Rob playing fullback and how out O just seemed more balanced.
If we could have added DK onto the 2013 team our O would have been borderline unstoppable.
With RW's style of QB play it can be trickier for the OL to block compared to a prototypical statue QB as he scrambles behind their blocks and the OL don't know where to protect.
Our pass-pro is noticeably better when Travis Homer lines up at RB as a blocker. With the greatest respect to Homer he isn't exactly a great blocker, he's a decent-to-good blocker which is a step about our other RBs.
It would be good to see SW/RW/JS find a versatile fullback and scheme to maximise it.
When we ran the I-formation the FB was a bit like the Queen in chess. The FB could react to breakdowns on the OL to give Wilson an extra few seconds, bulldoze a hole for the RB to get to the second level, or sneak into the flat as a receiving threat. It also created hesitation on the D as they couldn't be certain which play was called.
Just a thought.
