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 originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
    • Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.
    • Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
