Richard Gordon 2 return punt
I would still love to see Norton at Fullback. Don't care if Macho man would put him on his gameboy video game ***. Your not intimidating anyone on a keyboard my friend. Most LB's are not going to plug that hole short yardage. Many of the spread LB's these days are pretty light. As for DJ at RB short yardage I say give it a try.
I understand leverage. Your point makes sense. A bowling ball FB is ideal. However, I stated that we didn't have a true FB on the roster and I was referring to using DJ and Kendrick for goal line and short yardage only.
Herndon has lined up in the backfield many times and he is 6'4. I do believe offensive linemen still block LBs at the 2nd level. So, what's the difference if a 6'5 OL or a 6'5 FB blocks the LB?
I like Norton at goal line FB because he is quick, plays with good leverage, and is nasty. I think DJ had mentioned playing some RB. Again, I said only use him on goal line and short yardage in the "heavy" package. On goal line plays in the "heavy" package, there will not be any CBs in the game. Because of the short yardage situation, there is little worry about anyone going for his knees especially with the FB blocking for him. So, injury rick is low.
I think it's ok to think outside the box.
