LOL at the CIS obsession with FBs. 5 game breaking WRs and an NFL TE, and CIS wants a FB on the field.
Last year it was the 300 pound transfer from Mars Hill who was going to revolutionize our offense. I tried to tell you guys it's an antiquated position that would get abot 6 to 8 reps per game. Nah. You guys didn't want to hear it. Now Gray is the next bigtime FB. LULZ
I mentioned him as a FB only to get another athlete on the field. I mean would you rather the kid get a chance at FB or never play a meaningful minute in his career at UM.
if he can play the spot, i think it'll be advantageous to have that type of player on the team. again, IF he's a willing blocker
chise, i havent seen any obsessiveness or talk about revolutionizing the offense. it's either the kid learns the FB spot, he wastes a schollie for another year or 2, or he transfers. in so far as he's here, i dont see the downside in having him learn the FB role. hes got plus athleticism for the position, and if he can come in and create a potential mismatch, even if it's once or twice throughout the season near the goaline or on a 3rd/4th & short, it could potentially be a big difference in a game.
i recall us hitting marquez out in the flat a few times last year, maybe even once for a touchdown. he wasnt even close to being the biggest waste of a roster spot last year.
