Tony Fiametta FB Syrcause


Recommended Posts

I was a little concerned that he has less than 400 career yards in college. But like everyone says, that's not what we use a full back for. I'll take the word of 'Cuse fans that he's a beast and go from there. I hate that Hoov is aging, I really liked him as he was a Western Carolina, since I'm from Asheville and love the small school guys by default, player but it happens and it's time to begin the transition...

With this pick the Panthers are announcing to league to expect more of the same. We are going to run the ball down your throat!

Yep. The last three picks -- Goodson, Fiammetta and Robinson -- all show how committed to the run we are. :drool5:

We should have THE best run game in the league next year (though we do face many tough defenses).

For those of you that wondered why I was somewhat disappointed with the pick... I just figured with the guy's physical tools, he would be a threat to run as well. We wouldn't really need it because JStew is our banger, but still. And I would've liked our FB/H-Back of the future to be a threat catching out of the backfield with Hoov's performance, or lack thereof in that aspect...

Seems a great fit as a blocking FB, and that will be of great value if he supplants Hoov. My problem is we have other GREATER needs that haven't been addressed and the players I have in mind are not on Kiper's board.

His draft profile says he's an excellent backfield reciever.

    • I tend to look at all of these guys and wonder how committed they are to doing special teams? It's a big deal when you're fighting for roster spots. And we need massive refreshes to all phases of the special teams game. And the idea that four or five of these players could see rotational use outside of special teams would be a win. This team has accumulated quite a bit of dead wood over the last five years and its time to take an axe to some of it. These new fellows have a shot to benefit from that if they can really push. That being said, wow that receivers room is crowded right now. I'm not sure if I was a vet player with more than 2 years experience other than Adam Thielen if I'd be too sure of my future here. Tet is guaranteed a spot, Coker earned his for sure and they aren't done with XL developing yet. That's only two to three spots left for the entire room. It's going to be very competitive and better for Bryce's future, too. Safety and linebacker are the opportunity spots here this season. There's room for the right guy and we may see a starter eventually from one of these UDFAs, either by merit or injury.   
    • Aho and Jarvis just gripping it too tight right now. Relax, play their 200 ft game and the shots will start to find the net. Freddie has been excellent and welcome back Mista Svechnikov. Burns.....well, thank goodness for Slavin.
    • Supposedly he plans on staying in college for all 4 years.
