Changing the Subject (Fullback)...hopefully

There's gotta be something not about JR/Fox/QB/WR/FA we can talk about....here's one for the hell of it:

What do you think about Tony Fiammetta this season? In analysis, I'd like to see what people think of him without a Hoover comparison if that's possible at all. Cheers.

Hoover was great for us, but it takes time to trust your abilities. Fiametta will be there. 10 years in, we'll be bitching about his eventual replacement as well. That is if Zod hasn't sold the rights of the huddle to a TJ pimp in exchange for peak hours access to the most prized tranny whores and the Mexican equivalent to PSL seats at the donkey shows.

I like Fiammetta, but he and Hoover aren't my favored prototype for a fullback.

I prefer more of a sledgehammer blocker along the lines of Lorenzo Neal or Howard Griffith.

What about Mike Alstott or Tony Richardson, those two are/were elite. Alstott in his prime was by far my favorite FB to ever play in the NFL. (Even though he was a buc)

    • I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.
    • Depends if they see the writing on the wall with their roster and contracts and decide to bite the bullet and begin a complete rebuild and roster overhaul.  I have no clue why some franchises (IE us) refuse to do this and keep half assing trying to win 8 games or so.  Do it correctly, take your lumps and build a contender.  We shall see what loomis decides.
    • Each team plays 17 games.  I do not see why they don't just have each team play one international game per year.  Neutral site game, 8 home, 8 away.
