You aren't saying anything to disprove my point that it is rare to have a RB that tall....

That's because what you are saying is true. They are just saying that there are exceptions. Coe looks like a LB to me but I'm no expert.

Totally agree with the LB statement, I always pictured having that "tall" running back as sort of a libaility. But as for Coe being a LB he seems more sutied for that because he completely fits the mold of a SAM or BUCK LB. Then again I'm not an expert either just throwing my two cents in.

I'm not trying to disprove your point. I'm just saying I don't think being 6'2" is any kind of a barrier to him being a good RB. If you look at a height distribution HEIGHT DIST you'll see that being 6'2" puts him in the 96.8 percentile for human males. That means 3.2% of the average population is taller. Of course it's rare. Being that tall is rare period. You rarely see guys that are below 6' playing a non RB or DB position. Guys that are usually cast into other spots from a young age. Again, I'm not trying to disprove your point. I'm just saying it shouldn't cause a problem.

But being tall can cause problems. 5'8 guys are much more common than 6'4 guys, but you see more of the latter than the former at WR. I don't know what the problems might be - pad level, upright running, well, I'm no expert. Just seems like RB is a spot where 5'9-6'1 is the typical range of heights and probably for a reason.

he's too tall to play RB anyway

I get all gitty thinking of the 6'4 265lb Brandon Jacobs when I look at Coe. He would be fun to watch back there.....

 

I worked at Southern Illinois Univ when Jacobs played there. It was a freak show watching him against D2 football teams. When he got moving downfield, all I could think was "Hope he doesn't hurt anybody"
