Any word on Big Sed

With the mad scientist mind of Sean Payton we may see Thomas and Bell in the backfield together with Bush spreadout. Who needs a fullback.

The ellis injury concerns me more. Atl likes to run through the tackles. That could be a major factor.

Who needs a fullback? The ball carrier. Payton brought Evans in after releasing a quality fullback so that he could expand his game. We have plays designed for all combinations of the running backs and Payton obviously likes having a blocker for his backs to get behind. Our Backs follow the blocks better now and it is an integral part of the game. Who needs a fullback? Payton does.

Sarcasm alert! Thought the mad scientist part would give it away. Yes I know we need a lead blocker but I can see Payton using the 3 backs all at once. I see a TE (Thomas)or possible Strief being used as a FB.

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.

I think I'm more concerned with the ellis injury. With atlanta coming to townn and that run game, we need to stuff the middle.

lol what run game. Snelling is the only guy they have producing squat. Turner's ypc is lower than Bush's.

Don't we still have Obelananialian Somemboleyoleian (SP?) to play FB?

It's not great losing Evans for some time, but the net positive/negative effect of one fullback over another is probably less than any other spot in the offense. Still Evans has been making some big plays.

I bet he rehabs in time for that NE game...

So does anybody know how long Evans or Ellis be out for?
