Im sorry but i think a big reason why our run game and offensive line is half as good as it was, is because of well.... hoov.

And i know there are not many proper full backs in the league anymore but damn, thoughts?

Are you even watching Fiameta or did you just think .."hmm since Hoover left it doesn't seem like we run as well anymore?" Not trying to diss or anything I'm just curious.

It's not like Hoover was an instant impact player, it took him a while to get the gist of it, same with Fiametta.

I wouldn't even say he was a impact player, because in reality he really didn't run or catch enough to be one in that sense but he did spring alot of runs so i get that, but he just strikes me as the type of guy in the huddle on 3rd and short and says run it up the middle as he points to the running back and says follow me.

and i also feel like the running backs trusted hoover more then fiametta which could be a big reason why we are half as good at running now

Hoover became a huge impact player but run blocking FB is a thankless position where stats don't tell the story.

I like Fiametta, but he's still learning too and with the new offense I wouldn't count on seeing too much of him.

Hey, im not saying Fiametta is bad or anything like that matter a fact i think he can become our next brad hoover.... the question was more along the lines of, do you think a brad hoover level full back is what is holding us back from what we are capable of?

      I hate to burst anyones bubble but this guy played 188 total defensive snaps in three years but 802 special teams snaps. If we do kick the tires, it's probably gonna be for that latter part.

      I do believe that Evero gets canned before the end of the season and Capers takes over the D. I think the stage is set for Evero to fall on the sword for a 4-7 win season.  Not saying it would be a set up but I do think if that transpires, the seat under DC might start getting pretty warm, rightly or wrongly. That's my read on Tepper. I am not at all excited nor am I dreading anything. I just have extremely low expectations so I am just waiting to see what this revision of the roster looks like.  I FEEL like we are better on paper than last season's team but I wouldn't be remotely shocked if we were as bad or worse. Again, I do think this is the 2nd worst roster in franchise history overall. What will really make me happy is for some of the big questions to finally be answered(Bryce, Ikey, Horn, etc). I would like to see a real expansion of our core player pool(basically just D. Brown currently). I want to see a couple of hits in free agency and a couple in the draft. If we accomplish those things, I have faith that we are at least moving in the right direction after many, many years doing the opposite.
