kramer Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 Does anyone really have a clue what the NU FB's are suppose to do this year? Or any time for that matter in the WCO. In the option the FB's role was obvious, but I thought they were suppose to catch the balll more and so on, but nothing... What's Callahan's vision? Quote Link to comment
dbetz23 Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 Im not sure that Billie C knows what the WCO is period. Quote Link to comment
Hunter94 Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 so far it is a postion not utlized to it's potential.......pretty obvious up to this point, not that things might not change. hunter Quote Link to comment
kramer Posted September 24, 2005 Author Share Posted September 24, 2005 What % is there even a fullback in there. We may want to utilize it more and play less with a TE....boy they suck Quote Link to comment
formerfan Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 What % is there even a fullback in there. We may want to utilize it more and play less with a TE....boy they suck Yeah, billy c has some fascination with using 2 TEs one as an "H Back" Walsh's WCO utilized the FB quite a bit. I think we can all remember how good Rathman was in that position. Quote Link to comment

I think we can all remember how good Rathman was in that position. Callahan's WCO doesn't use backs in the passing game hardly at all. I personally don't like it and don't agree with it but that's the way he runs it. Was the same in Oakland. Let's just hope he changes, though I doubt he will. Quote Link to comment
huskerstag Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 maybe he's waiting til we're down by 30 on the road - in those situations the fullback has proven to be a killer Quote Link to comment

Roy CO HSKR Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 BC in the past with Raiders DID utilize the fullbacks for other than blocking. The problem is that Todd isn't the caliber of player to be used to run routes or catch passes like Walsh did with Rathman. He is grooming just that person in Glenn. Todd's staring status is just about over I believe, but it takes many reps for these new guys to be effective. Do you really think that Lucky or any other skill position recruit has lost their ability? The most difficult hurdle for the average fan - patience! Quote Link to comment
Hunter94 Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 well said.........all of it! hunter Quote Link to comment
nu4everfan15 Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 well considering it is never the west coast offense... it is always bill callahan's west coast offense, like he invented the whole idea, i guess he can do watever he wants. Quote Link to comment
Hunter94 Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 and he will too! Quote Link to comment
NamelessHusker Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 The way Todd has been playing and blocking lately, i am not suprised he is not bew used. His playing time as a FB is coming to an end. Miller will be the starting FB sometime this season unless Todd ups his performance Quote Link to comment
Eric the Red Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Who is Miller again..kid from Mass. Quote Link to comment
Pedro Guerrero Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Callahan's WCO doesn't use backs in the passing game hardly at all. Was the same in Oakland. Actually Charlie Garner almost had a 1000 yards receiving one year. I think that would count as using the RB in the passing game. Quote Link to comment
