dll2000 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Well copy cat league strikes again. 2019 saw a number of teams play more heavy with a FB. 2020 is seeing a lot more doing it. Almost everyone. Been a long time. FB position went way of do do for awhile. Nice to see some coaches rediscover it. Tricky thing will be getting FBs when CFB doesn’t hardly use them.

TecmoSuperJoe Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Who else was using a fullback in 2019 in their personnel packages extensively other than the 49ers? I'm legit curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TecmoSuperJoe Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 (edited) Found this article just on the crux of the 2019 season beginning. It charts the usage of 21 personnel sets the last 15 year or so, and how it's gone down. However the last couple of years those packages maybe on the rise. https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/reports-of-the-fullbacks-demise-have-been-greatly-exaggerated/ Edited September 18, 2020 by TecmoSuperJoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spartacus Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Defenses keep getting smaller. It was only a matter of time before going bigger on offense was the trend again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm legit curious. Any team that runs the Shannahan ZBS scheme. So San Francisco (Shanny Jr.), Denver (Scangerello), Minnesota (Kubiak) and now Cleveland (Stefanski). I know New England, Green Bay and Pittsburgh have traditionally used a FB in certain packages as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
