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 haven't watched any highlights on Smith blocking, but I did remember the Panthers news blurb on him mentioning his ability at FB. I think he has a good shot at making the team (based on his 2017, 2018 play in Dallas) at the expense of some of the guys we've had hanging onto our roster for a while, sorry Reggie. My guess, right now, would be CMC, Hubbard, Cannon, and Rod Smith. Obviously, I see Tremble lining up as H-back a ton as well.

"He (Smith) offers some flexibility since they had just one fullback on the roster, and he's also a contributor on special teams."

Tremble has all of the makings of a quality H-back. Can line up as a TE or FB, block or catch passes, destroy or maim, etc.

Really looking forward to preseason when he gets to be in pads hitting defenders in the mouth.

I've watched a bunch of videos on him, and the part that excites me the most is how damaging he is blocking downfield, often waaaay downfield. Our YAC is going to blow up!

Which is another reason for my excitement: a lot of Brady's play calling last year was using the TE as a decoy to pull the coverage before laying out said coverage.

Look at DJ and Robby: both dudes that block hella aggressively when the ball isn't in their hands. That was another big reason for Curtis' success imo.

Agent 89 showed us just how much a WR that blocks like a TE can help the other guys getting targets. Now we got a TE that can block like a downhill FB? Let's gooo

      Facts it's still crazy that they made him sell over that especially considering what some of the other owners have done.  JR was a rich 80 year old white man from the south I'm not at all surprised about him making some "inappropriate" comments about what a woman is wearing water is wet what a surprise. That's just the way things were done during his time, and he should and did get punished for his actions by paying some hefty fines, but it definitely wasn't something that he should've been forced to sell his team over.  I'll never forget him insulting Peyton Manning during a negotiation, reportedly belittling the quarterback’s knowledge of player safety and asking, “Do I need to help you read a revenue chart, son?

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.
