Well, if we were going to add another WR, it's unlikely to be another 6'4" 4.4 guy, since we have two of those. It's conceivable that who we want to replace is Cobb.

It's conceivable that who we want to replace is Cobb. I was thinking about that last night. It sounds like our base offence is going to be 21 personnel (2WR, 1TE, 1FB, 1 RB) then that means the slot receiver is not as important fixture in our offence. The short area receiving work would be done by our TE, RB and FB instead. I would say it is much more likely LaFleur will look to add a speed guy alongside a precision route runner (Adams) in two wide WR sets as Shanahan and McVay has done with their teams. Whether that speed guy is 6'4" or 5'10" who knows? I don't think we will be looking for someone who skillset is built for the slot to replace Cobb.

What on earth makes you think we're going back to using a Fullback? The Zone Running schemes don't heavily utilize a fullback. Why would you want a lead blocker running when he doesn't know where the hole your RB is going to pick is? The positional groups from last year of our HC and OC's offenses along with the 2018 Rams and Packers: Titans: 2.45 WRs/1.52 TEs/1.02 RB/FBs per snap. Jaguars: 2.61 WRs/1.22 TEs/1.16RB/FBs per snap. Packers: 2.72 WRs/1.27TEs/1.01RB/FBs Rams: 2.9WRs/1.1TEs/1.00RB/FBs The Fullback is dead. Leave it in the past. Stop trying to make your 1980 offense happen. It's not going to happen.

Just going off what LaFleur and Gute said. It sure sounds like we will be incorporating the fullback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FBs are death to an offense. If you can't beat your defensive counterpart running a route, you shouldn't be on the field in an NFL offense, with the possible exception of strong pass blocking RBs, and even there you would favor the guy who can actually contribute catching the ball.

Attempting to copy the Patriots, I'm sure it will work out better this time than the previous 18 years it's been attempted and failed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually tend to agree with you. Not this time.. i believe that the FB does have a place in this offense.. why? LaFleur said as much. To be fair, he also said that , said FB, needs to be able to catch the ball. I am really looking forward to seeing the new version of this offense.
