Hoover being out is worse than people can imagine, however...

I think we should put MacKenzy Bernadeau in at fullback. Yea, he's 6'4" and 300 lbs. but he is relatively fast for a big guy and gets downfield on special teams pretty good. Losing Hoover at the point of attack is going to be tough to overcome with a King, a Rosario, or a Barnidge. Put Bernadeau in the backfield for the game and smash his big ass up the gut. It's not like we ever check down to Hoover on pass plays or hand the ball off to him more than once a game. We just need somebody that can block like Hoover. Why not a guard that is used to pulling?

Just a thought.

We need somebody that knows the offense and terminology for Sunday. If Neal did come in, he might be able to pick up a few things quick because fullback is not rocket science. However, protections are pretty confusing and NO has some weird blitz packages. I'd prefer a guy with knowledge of our schemes and the ability to throw a mean block in cramped space.

I can't remember it was one of our TE's, or somebody on our defensive unit, but there is SOMEONE on our team that used to play several positions, and fullback was one of them.

Now I'm gonna go crazy to I figure it out. :mad:

Rosario out of Oregon

No need for craziness. :D

    • I don't necessarily think he will be moved, I would currently be leaning against that notion. I think a lot will depend on the coaching situation. Carroll certainly can't be thinking about wanting to go through a serious strip down and overhaul, so the longer he plans to remain, the less likely I think Crosby gets moved.
    • I think everyone says Mike Evans because of size, but really they have different strengths and play styles.  Tmac is better on intermediate routes and not nearly as good at contested catches. 
    • At this point, it is criminal to go into the 2026 training camp/OTA's with XL penciled in as a #2 WR. The team must upgrade, either through free agency or the draft. If he cannot give 100% effort on significantly less snaps as a #4-6 WR(players like Tremayne have done that consistently) then I don't think you have a player worth rostering beyond the trade deadline. Offensively, we eventually have to upgrade to an NFL starting caliber C. It's been almost the length of time from Gross to Ikey since Kalil retired and we have below average to terrible C play. Love Mays as a BC-esque utility backup but he will never be an above average long term starting C.  The TE room is one of the worst in the NFL but it's a low usage position in this offense, so the investments are likely to be small, if any. I would never expect to see an elite TE in a Dave Canales offense. 100% agree on OL depth. We actually aren't bad there but BC will be gone, Mays is a UFA, Corbett is a UFA and Zavala has been both injured and bad. We have to bolster that depth again or resign guys like Mays and Corbett to keep that depth somewhat stable.
