Why not Karney as our Hammer Back???

frankeefrank · 10-02-2007, 03:56 PM

Ever wonder why they call the guy who stands all the way back in the offense a "halfback" and the guy who stands in between two guys is called a "fullback?"

Karney doesn't have the same atheleticism Alstott had back in the day.

ummmm
well John Carney is a kicker
and
Mike Karney is a full back
but I'm not sure who John Karney is

lol
I know it was just a typo

it doesn't matter anyway this horse has been beat well beyond death and we all know this will never happen anyway
so what difference does it make

Well, lets see how the other guys do in the lead roll. I love Karney as a FB, not sure I really want to see him carry the ball 25 times a game. I agree that he should be kept in the game on most plays, as a blocker. At least he is about at the same playing weight, 258, that Deuce was. Come on, you guys really believed Deuce was only 230ish? I would say Deuce was playing closer to the 245 range. Maybe Karney can be an Alstott kind of guy, but I hope not. To me, Alstott was just an average blocker who got a few nice carries here and there. I would rather see Karney become the lead blocker of all time and spring Reggie for a 1600 yard season.

You are absolutely correct. I just disagree that Karney at HB would be effective. Maybe you take a page out of the Bellichick playbook and run an LB at FB and then put Mike at HB in short yardage situations, maybe a package with Karney as a single back would work for a series, but I don't think it would work as a long-term solution.
