Fullback

[phinfanNY08]

The two best Running backs in the NFL (Tomlinson, Alexander) have great fullbacks leading the way, does anyone think Miami will be in the market for a powerful FB, either through draft of FA. If so, who is available and who would you take?:dolphins:

so does denver i believe. many good teams have great fb's.

 

[ffphin]

I didn't even think about a FB!!! But if we do the R&R is pretty much over... You won't see them on the field that often if we do get a FB!!!

I don't think that is part of Linehan's game plan. Look at his history.

We have a FB, his name is D. Barns(I think), he is a truck in a Dolphins uniform.

he is decent but lets not kid ourselves he isnt great

He is good enough but he isnt a top 5 or 10 FB

I hate to say this but I can't remember seeing a FB in our back field since Ricky came back!!!:confused: And if someone would have said his name and told me he was one of our starters I would have laughed.

Darian Barnes comes in on running plays, he's actually done a really good job of lead blocking so far this year.

I've had to listen to most of the games and never heard the annocers say anything about him.... Well now I know who our FB is!! THX

He may not be able to catch or run the ball as good as R&R, but he loves to hit people, and the guy that he is supposed to block usually doesn't get a hand on R or R.

Wow, I'm suprised they haven't said anything about him. He may not be Mike Alstott or anyone like that, but I think he's done a real good job blocking.

Well Linnehan really doesnt use Fullbacks very often, plus Barnes is agood blocker and Morris is agood all around Full Back.

 

[Dolfan2788]

The salary a fullback like Neal, Richardson or Alstott would demand is not value for how many times we use them.
Barnes is more than sufficient for our offense which is usually 3 receivers, 1 TE and singleback. Unless on running plays.

Side note: Barnes also caused a huge fumble on ST.

 

[djfresh47]

I like the idea of a fullback in the offense, but I prefer having R@R on the field at the same time or 3 wideout sets with McMike. Neal and Mack are very good but even without them Tomlinson and Alexander are the best 2 backs in the league.

We have yet to see what Kyle Eckle can do. I have heard a lot of good about him. (reserve/military)
