Re: Any word on Big Sed

yeah man, i do not want to lose ellis for an extended period. without depth it is harder to keep the big boys fresh- hence our 4rth qt. domination this season

Re: Any word on Big Sed

Oh,...:doh:

Our Backs follow the blocks better now and it is an integral part of the game. Who needs a fullback? Payton does. :cool:

Evans wasn't brought in just to block. He was brought in because he can run routes and he can catch. If it was just blocking, Karney would still be here.

In a pinch, either Streif, Shockey, or Bell could play the part of the blocking fullback.
