I'm confused about what people think Kuhn does well. He carried the ball as well as Brandon Jackson because Brandon Jackson tried to make dancing a new backfield trend. He didn't overpower other teams on short yardage. We probably ran the worst short yardage set in the league with a 3 fullback set on some downs. I don't get why everyone is in love with him.

And keep Nance? That doesn't wash.


Cut Nance and Hall.


Yeah, that's the most likely scenario IMO.

I'm not sure that pwns me by any means. Our fullbacks did a whole lot of nothing in the Superbowl.

In the end its probably that Ted just set his automatic draft for the last round and is now busy lighting cigars with hundred dollar bills.


I don't agree with this. Ted might come off as arrogant, but he doesn't mail it in. I think that he knows what he is doing here, but that it will lead to Hall, Kuhn, Lee, and Nance getting cut in favor of Williams, Taylor, Green, and possibly holding the extra receiver in Swain.


Sarcasm. Also another Simpsons reference. I have a problem.

Overall offensive stats for our fullbacks in the Superbowl:

Korey Hall - 1 rec, 2 yards

That's it.

I just think your stance on holding pure special teams players is just wrong.

With a 45 man game day roster and a 53 person roster you have 22 starters + kicker, punter, long snapper so at minimum 25 "starters" out of 45 players, that leaves you 20 players for backups that play regularly, special teams and such. There very much is room for players who mostly play special teams on the roster and Ted has proven time and time again he will keep the 53 best football players, if that means we have 4 fullbacks or 6 tight ends that is what will happen.

Again Hall is by far the best special teamer....Johnso is probably the best blocker but just OK...Kuhn has the most skill....I do think they will keep only 2 fullbacks, 4 TE's and I don't think the 7th rounder makes the team, but we will see....competition is a good thing.

There is a heck of a lot more to being a FB on our team than receptions or rushing yards.
