seantaylor=god Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Beasley, Schmitt, and Bell are all gone. We have no back up fullbacks. Any guys got cut that we'd look at? Is it possible we move Rock back to fullback? Is this an unusual situation 1 week before the first game to have no back up fullbacks? btw, if we have some random guy no one has ever heard of on the roster somewhere and I missed it my apologizes. But it looked like we got rid of everyone. :logo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLongshot Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 It is possible that they might sign Bell to the practice squad. At worst, they can do what they did last year and put Pucillo back there. Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoudMouth12thMan Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 I think there are a number of guys that can play FB on this team. Sellers would have to have something freaky happen to him (in terms of injury) for him not to be the guy. Cartwright, Yoder, Cooley, maybe Edwards have/could play in the backfield at the FB position if need-be. We've got one spot open...I wonder if that is open for a FB but I highly doubt it b/c it's not rare that teams go with 1 guy as FB on the roster all year. I'm sure we'll keep a FB on the practice squad as a safety valve but IMO we don't need another FB on the active roster. HTTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soup Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 They use a TE and place an OL guy when twin TE formation. Most teams don't use FB so that's why Gibbs sellers. Sellers is also placed at TE if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drex Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Beasley only lasted a short time here but the team did get the opportunity to see what he brings to the table. I could envision a scenario where if an injury does occur to Sellers, Beasley would be a guy who could come in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peregrine Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Somehow I dont think backup FB is a priority for us... Think of it this way. Who in the world is going to injure Sellers? I dont think theres anyone big enough in the NFL to do that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 I love the fact he is listed at various times as being around 250-55. Sellers plays at about 265-270. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cphil006 Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 I guess we cut Beasley. We don;t use the FB set much anyway. We could go three wide, TE and one-back./ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChampSkinsFanatic Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 I hope Bell makes the practice squad hes a local guy who really wants the opportunity to be in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Never21Forgotten36 Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Zack Crockett of the Raiders got the ax today. I wouldn't mind seeing him get a workout with the team. Hes a pretty decent fullback and could be good for depth. But I don't really see us doing anything there for the time being. I think our focus is on finding another receiver and DE at the moment. Too bad, no big names that jump out out you were cut. So it looks like we need to hope for the best with what we already have on the roster.

MEANDWARF Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 I guess we will have to tell Rock to gain 20 lbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinnygurl Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 It would take a lot for mike to even admit he was hurt. He's tough and his passion for the game keeps him even tougher than he seems. Hell back in the cfl he played with a broken hand. Took maybe 2 games off then played with a custom made cast. And he still scored TDs. I know he was hurting but unless you were close to him, him never let on. I wouldn't worry about bigg Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
