I haven't seen this asked here yet. We went into the season with Heath Evans, and we all know how that's worked out. Now we have Morris/Barnes. Morris is a good backup RB, but FB? On the open market, Fred Beasley, is available next season? Any ideas?
 
hum... I don't think this is a priority at all...We can easily use 2 RB sets with R&R..
Morris is a pretty good back, and his natural position is FB, where he may be now. Our backup FB would almost never see the field

Would you consider a better blocking FB for R&R?

I would mix it up..
ronnie can block very well..it's not a priority, though of course if we can bring on a cheap good blocker FB would be good..this is one of the last needs on the team
even morris is having very limited playing time

He's 6'2" 240lbs. Hardly small.
 
the best run blocking fullback in the NFL will be a free agent

Lorenzo neil

an absolute monster blocker, if we get him it upgrades the FB position so much and provides Ronnie with a monster lead blocker
 
We really dont need a FB. With linehans system we need an H-back.

With that said i am satisfied with barnes's blocking...

he signed a contract extension
 
DB is a good pal, and I want him to be here for a while. I don't know why he's not getting any love, maybe because you guys don't pay attention to the full back role, but he's a big part of our rushing attack. It's hard to knock a fullback who blocks for two backs with averages over 4 yards a carry. Sammy Morris is no longer a fullback, he's not a lead blocker type.

Last night on NFL network they said he was gonna be a free agent :confused: :confused:


either way my mistake

No way he leaves LT.

I think we have a good FB in Barnes. If we were gonna change, I would want a TE-FB. Ronnie and Ricky in the same backfield is enough.....
