Muhsin Muhammad: Mike Shula doesn't know how to use a fullback

I agree to an extent but I feel it is a much greater tell when you pull a player out of position for specific plays.

I'm not worried about that because they have run it with Dickson not even in the game too. The only thing I don't want to see anytime soon is CMC running an option play from the wildcat. That was BS.

Tolbert plays HB for them...

Exactly. They don't even use a fullback most of the time just like we don't anymore. Not with CMC in the backfield.

I guess we should take lessons from Buffalo. They really used Tolbert effectively to spring Shady.  Now if he talked about wide receiver I might take notice.  Fullbacks, not so much

we got rid of tolbert for a reason but that young boy we had in preseason can surely be of service to our offense. also our receivers looked great

Do you have any clue what you're talking about? Last year the Bills built their run game around the FB position and their OL lead blocking for McCoy in a power run game. Not much has changed this year under McD. They signed DiMarco away from the Falcons specifically for this purpose. We don't have a fullback so we use a fullback 0% of the time. The Bills, and a handful of other teams, still utilize a fullback and in week one it was a part of their offense and McCoy's success.

You didn't mean to say that did you?  You must have had a blank moment.

...so, you are telling someone who played football at the highest level in college and pros and played in the Super Bowl that he is wrong?

It was in reference to the possibility of bringing up Alex Armah.

Moose believes a strong - and properly used - fullback is essential to an effective power run game. He questions whether Shula can implement it.

Yeah because we didn't have a great power running game in 2015. I guess he must have taken too many head shots.

I honestly do as well. Why didn't we keep one on the roster anyway.

Cam was 40% of that....(rounded down on all fronts but still)

Of course he was. When your quarterback is bigger and outweighs you tailback you are crazy not to use him. Unless of course the refs just let him take head shots with no.protection

And how well was Dimarco used yesterday,? How many.plays was he in.  We don't have a full back because they don't work that well and didn't yesterday. McCoys success was playing the Jets not because they have a great scheme. Who else uses a full back on at 50% of their running plays? It didn't happen yesterday? Raiders got 180 yards rushing against the Jets yesterday.
