H-back Position Disappearing ?

Yeah, Thomas had a LOT to do with it. He's diesel. I don't think any of us can deny though that Thomas or not, Brunell's throws were not even close in many situations.

That being said, I don't want to take ANY credit away from the year he had last year. He was one of the single reasons we played as well as we did (and one of the reasons we lost to Seattle).

That Tampa Bay playoff game made me vomit.

Yeah me too - it wasn't so much that I accidently swallowed it though :). Maybe because they still won the game.

I wonder what our WRs will do this year, Saunders WRs never really did a whole lot.

Yup, I was wondering the same thing.

The h-back position has been gone. I don't know if any of you noticed that on their roster page , but it has said TE and FB for a while. The system is not going to change that much though....and cooley is a TE

Let's get back to this H-back position dissappearing.... All you are talking about to me is trying to create mis-matches. You can line Cooley up as a FB to block or run little playaction flat passes, a TE to run short routes and in the slot to run more intermediate routes. He had to learn 2-3 positions. This year he may be more of a TE and just have life simplified. I guess I keep thinking about Tony Gonzales and the way he is used. I think Cooley will be able to focus more on catching the ball and not blocking from the FB position and we will go back to having more legit FBs who just block and catch passes from the back field.

saunders has never had a WR like santana... he tried 18,000 different ways to turn dante's speed into production and it never worked. It'll probably be a bit more spread than last year (where it was moss, cooley, throw it away).

this change happened months ago btw.

When did they announce it ?

When Saunders was brought in it was in the middle of several HC openings. He turned down the Oakland job in favor of this job. Gibbs stated in no uncertain terms that he was assuming a more mangerial function seeing as how is President of football OPS and HC. He said Saunders would have complete control of the offense and based on the fact that Saunders turned down a HC job I'd say he was quite sure he indeed would. Saunders is the offense now. Gibbs may say "hey what do you think of this?" but Saunders is the man with the plan.

And I'm perfectly fine with that. Just remember, number one offense in the league with KANSAS CITY'S skill position players. They had Gonzo and Holmes. That's IT.
