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?

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      If you're going to try and hold me saying he looks like crap in during his rookie year against me vs me trying to stay positive in the present and say that the hourly posting shitting on him is annoying and confusing because who the hell spends that much time on something they don't enjoy, I can't really help you. you're exaggerating and holding onto the past like a female. you just said in another thread that his excellent games vs the Rams has you feeling guilty for feeling any positivity. that is some true loser stuff right there, definitely not someone that is a fan of something. keep trying.

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      generally speaking, going by the original NFL international marketing rights announcement... we would expect to host a Germany home game once every four years.  Doesn't mean we would play internationally only then, just the guarantee home game situation things might have changed since then, if they figure out how to play at more stadiums during a season to expand the number of "home" teams available

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      Munich won't happen. It's a Lions home game in Munich, but we play the Lions at home at BOA Most likely to happen would be Madrid vs the Falcons (although KC has been pushing hard for this one). From a schedule perspective, it would be interesting to have an early November Madrid game (then the bye week), then close out the season at BOA for the 2nd game vs the falcons.  In other words, put the two division games in the 2nd half of the season Paris vs the Saints has long been rumored to be the Browns (but... never say never) We wouldn't play Munich, Melbourne, Mexico City, London, or Rio based on who those announced home teams happen to be
