yeah it was the lack of a true lead fullback as to why this team could not convert in short yardage...
kuhn is EXACTLY what this offense needs
Joe was so right about not needing a lead blocker at FB. The team was excellent short yardage team.
Joe has turned the Fins into a finesse team and it is against my philosophy of how to win. Give a physical, blue collar football team...2012 Ravens...this year's Niners team. Plus, that style travels. Like it or not, we are going the other direction.
eagles had no FBs... backs were all around 225 (McCoy's like 205-210)

The interesting thing here is that Joe almost certainly helped to develop Kuhn up in Green Bay. While he fervently avoided recruiting any Packers players to date, Kuhn would come as a known commodity at a time when we definitely need to improve our running game. Also interesting to note that Kuhn is an extremely popular player in Green Bay. He could be a relatively low cost form of blocking insurance.Joe has turned the Fins into a finesse team and it is against my philosophy of how to win.

I disagree on the style of play preferred. Also the Ravens won with Flacco chunking 11 TD's in the playoffs/Superbowl and not the total of 2 TD's produced on the ground. I do think however having the pieces to a package you can put in the game a couple plays to get those tough yards is necessary. All and all I think Kuhn would bring some pass protection pride and disciple to this team.
