Hoov as tailback?

[PanthaSan]

The Hoov deserved some love for all his blocking this year. So we gave him some love. Nothing wrong with that folks.

I have the same point of view.

I think folks tend to forget the "why" (Hoover's blocking) as to our above average backs and the yards they get. It was nice seeing Hoov do what he does best, pound it.

I'm actually hoping Goodson gets moved to receiver next year. I don't think he's cut out to be a running back at the pro level.

I was kinda saying this since we drafted him. He's a decent RB but he's an excellent receiver. His speed makes him very dangerous and his fumbling problem will be mitigated by playing receiver. Not only that but we are desperate for a deep threat and he could provide that.

Did anyone else notice we did line him up at WR a few times during the game against the Giants?

Last season, when asked who the best RB in the league is, bot DWill & JStew answered "Brad Hoover".That speaks volumes...

Does anyone have a vid clip of Hoover Trucking the defender? It was when Buck and Aikmen were talking about the FB as a dieing breed

His performance yesterday was so impressive I just might make a little highlight video. So far I have nothing to do tonight as most folk are not calling me back.

Of all the things I've seen this season. Hoover gaining 18 yards...from the RB position...against the giants...is the craziest thing I've seen. I had no idea the man still had that side of his game. He has many years left. I hope fiametta can fill his role.

Hoov earned those carries.....I was happy for him. He wants to be a RB but knows he is a FB. Glad a game brokedown for him to get some action. He does so much dirty work.....glad he got to what he loves for a change. Don't want to see it much ever again....but that was an ideal scenario.

You mean the pass to hoov?

It's in the second video here: http://www.nfl.com/gamecenter/2009122705/2009/REG16/panthers@giants#tab:watch

Goodson showed he should have chances at being a receiver when he picked up that first down

[monstercat]

I'm so glad Hoover has gotten in the end zone the last two weeks. There is not a more underrated player on the Panthers roster.

Because Goodson's 0.4 yard runs were not cutting it

fixed, and on his one reception for 13 yards the announcers made the comment "past the first down marker before being touched" (because of good blocking by Moose and others). Maybe he'll eventually "get it" and learn the difference between running behind an nfl oline and a college one, but hey, time is $$$. Get to work 'son. If he stays at RB for this team, plays need to be designed specifically for him, like Reggie Bust or Percy Harvin. Establish him as the role player he is, not the pound it guy he isn't. I'm not opposed to moving him to WR permanently. For the record, Hoover had 9 carries, Goodson 5.

Hey, the Hoove was just getting plays at tailback to give Fiametta OJT/instantaneous feedback. It was just fullback training. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
