Who do you guys think makes the roster at fullback? I believe that if they only keep 1 it will be Hynoski because he is a better receiver. But I would love to see them keep both maybe even at times use them together in SOME short yardage and goal line situations. Could you guys see a RB group of Conner, Hynoski, Jennings, Williams and Gaskins. Power football just may be the way to go this season...throwback football.
I can't see any reason to keep both.
Between Conner and Hynoski they were combined only on the field 27% of all offensive plays.
Conner 245/1042
Hyno 29/1042
so, unless the usage of the full back increases dramatically, you cannot justify keeping them both.
For reference sake:
John Kuhn 324/1141
I don't see enough FB usage to warrant both being kept.
If Cox is released, the only "running" plays to the outside may be swing passes and screens. That's more West Coast than we have seen in the past.

Agreed but If we fuckin' went with four wide to spread out the defense we wouldn't have to worry about getting to the edge. Our running game could be even better with Jennings or Williams pounding it inside with only 5 or 6 in the box.
Hynoski may be better fit and Conner getting hurt - hurt his chances. But, I still have memories of defenders avoiding Conner's blocks. His blocks are like body punches - they take the heart out of a defender.

if I'm wrong but haven't we kept 4 RB's in the past with 1 FB?So IMO they keep 2 FB's and only 3 RB's.
That's what I would do especially with the weaknesses at TE. If they go best 53 Then both should make it.
Better protection for Eli and will be hard to defend against the run.

would be no hillis and cox as 3rd halfback
I think Gaskins over Cox.Parker over Holliday. 6 Wrs not 5, they have to they have shit at TE to catch the ball.I seem to remember the team usually keeps 6, but I may be wrong there.
parker is safe. holliday won't make it unless they carry 7 wr
