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?

      He should've been more than a JAG, but Jeremy Chinn.  I was convinced he was our next defensive star

      Yeah the only way current set up is fun is if every year a different tiny school builds a super team and makes a run. You just need 1 rich guy to say you know what would be funny, if I drop 30 million and my school has a shot at a national championship.   They won't ever do it but put some sort of tiered salary cap in place and sign them to 4 year deals. You can only transfer up or down tiers no lateral moves because mean ole coach at texas doesn't play me enough so I'm going to Tennessee. So a player at prairie view can transfer to texas and get paid more or a player from UNC can transfer to UNCG because he isn't getting playing time. If a guy is transferring "up" he can get a salary bump if the team has salary cap space. A guy transferring down has to stay at the same salary as he signed his 4 year deal for so the lower tier team would have to have the cap space to sign him. It would stop the money chasing for lateral moves but allow guys who improve massively at lower schools to make more money as juniors and seniors and hopefully keep more guys in one place because the contract is for 4 years.
