Wagon Circler Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 In my paper the Star Ledger, they talked about how the Jets used a fullback on 44 plays in the game as a lead blocker on running plays. We have Corey McIntyre who is a very physical player (two monster tackles on special teams). Hopefully with a new commitment to run Spiller, I would like to see them put Spiller in an I-formation, give it to him 5-7 yards back and let him pick his hole. The man has moves. This would take advantage of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Toboggan M.D Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Not to mention the amount of times they put John Connor in motion so that Sanchez could read coverage before the play even started. Pretty good implementation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike in Syracuse Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 The biggest challenge with using a fullback as a lead blocker for Spiller is that the two players need a ton of reps together. Spiller isn't a patient runner and running behind a FB takes amazing patience. I'm not saying it couldn't work but go back and look at some film of Gardner and Thomas. A lot of time Thurman is literally riding Carwell's hip until they break out into the open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akm0404 Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Do what the Jets did to us? Bend us over and pound us remorselessly with superior talent? Don't think we can pull that off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think we can pull that off Yeah, it's a bad sign when all of your defenders say after the game that the other team did exactly what the expected, with no surprises whatsoever, and you still got destroyed both on the ground and through the air.
