The FB is phased out alot of NFL playbooks other than go to goal situations but when Hue was in Cincy he made the FB A regular part of the offense especially in jumbo sets Which Hue loves to run. Wanna set a physical mindset on offense? Run alot of ISO.FB get pad level low and drive that LB out of the hole. Simple

Hue loved to use Marcel Reece in Oak ... but he has a very rare skillset
"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Jeudy is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Tillman is flanked out wide to the right. Judkins and Ford are split in the backfield as Flacco takes the snap ... Here we go."

Just get rid of the FB. It's a dead position in the NFL these days. The game has gotten so specialized that either the FB can't block the bigger guys or is too slow to be a ball carrier. Glad to see that some of you are seeing the light.;) It's like I say, if you want blocking, stick a guard back there.
If everybody had like minds, we would never learn. GM Strong

Theory is great, but since Hue is going to actually use a FB........we probably should upgrade the position.

While the FB may be getting phased out on many teams there are still many teams whose playbooks feature downhill BOB (back on backer)runs. In this case it helps to understand what your current coach has done in the past to help the speculation on whether or not he'll use a FB. Now whether or not he should use a FB, is something I'm not even gonna try to help you with.

The Titans traded Dorial Green-Beckham to the Eagles for a guy that might not make the team. Green-Beckham was a second round pick last year. I don't think we've even had a guy flame out that quick. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000...ham-from-titans

Character issues, just exactly the concerns most us had on him prior to the draft.

Wow. Does Justin Gilbert count? Johnny Manziel? He went to rehab earlier in his career than DGB was traded in his.

I don't think the phrase "flame out" describes Manziel. Crash, burn and melt maybe? Lol idk, I think even that's putting it too light.

Trent Richardson? Vince Mayle? Brian Robiski? David Veikune? Brady Quinn? Travis Wilson? Monatario Hardesty? Veikune is the one. All the others were with the team much longer than Green-Beckham and contributed more. Mayle was a fourth round pick.

DGB put up better numbers last season than Brian Robiski did in his entire career. But yeah, I did stretch it with 3rd and 4th rounders. Guilty

some people on here know that one of my good friends is a player for the Titans ... this is his 4th year.
without going into too much detail, he's told me Beckham is literally the worst teammate he's ever had ... major headcase/jerk/etc

I think that we had a spot open when we suspended K'Waun Williams.

Thought we released Erle Ladsen a bit ago. Only remember because I thought it was weird that there wasn't a corresponding addition at the time. Link
