Tremble going to be the “Fullback”?

[Cdparr7]

Since Mason Stokke was waived that just leaves Mikey Daniel. Since Tremble was more of a H-Back in college it would make sense and give flexibility to the roster. You could keep Tremble as the TE3/FB and add depth elsewhere.
 

Has anyone at camp seen Tremble playing the FB role or has it been mostly TE at camp?

Mikey Daniel sounds like the name of a WCW mid-card wrestler.

As rarely as we use a FB, I'd say that they would likely just motion the TE into position when necessary. They might sub in Tremble some in such cases and use him as a decoy as well.

Well there’s no way we drafted him in the 4th rd to be a FB. I could see him getting snaps there with his skill set, but make no mistake about it. He’s a TE.

Around the :60 mark, we discussed this.

If Rhule and Brady had such a hard-on for a FB, why on earth did they let Alex Armah go sign with the fuging Saints??

I dont believe in the FB, but much smarter offensive minds disagree - Bill the goat Walsh and kyle shanahan

[LinvilleGorge]

Works for me. No more often than a FB is used in a modern NFL offense, it just doesn't warrant a roster spot.

I think his ability to run  block and plY TE are the exact reason we drafted him. It provides flexibility within the same personnel group.

I think that's the exact reason we drafted him. 2 for 1

Rhule said today that they may or may not carry a fullback. After releasing the Wisconsin Kid, they signed Rod Smith yesterday, he has played some FB and they are looking at him there according to Rhule's comments. It seems that if If Smith or Daniel prove to be able to contribute on special teams we will probably have a roster spot for a FB. If not and another RB like Spencer Brown or Reggie Bonnafon can, then they'll take that spot and Tremble will be our main blocking back. Im not sure how they see Trenton Cannon since he's repping so much with the WR's but based on his special teams play I'd say he has one of those RB spots as well.

I don’t disagree with that. But the way I interpreted this post is would FB be his position. And considering the rarity we ever even line up with a FB, I think it’s safe to say he’s a TE. And I believe he was drafted to be out TE2. 
 

I do think we will see him line up as a FB but I wouldn’t call him one.

If Tremble lives up to the hype, he's gonna be a game-changer, literally. He loves to block and he apparently has good hands and can run routes. That's a scary proposition for opposing DCs.

I've only ever seen him play hback

This

i’ve always said he’s a H-Back (which he played at ND). 
can confuse people sometimes because get motioned into the backfield to block quite often

 

 

alao note.  There were people who compared him to Kittle.  Kittle played the same role at Iowa that Tremble did at Notre Dame.  The H-back
