We used to have a guy like that. His name was Mike Karney and he was replaced because he was too one-dimensional.

Go back and watch 2013. We ran better with out a lead blocker/FB.

I really like JC Copeland.He says he likes laying people out more than scoring. With the possibility of a power run game, I like that mentality. If anything,he would be useful giving Brees protection in the backfield.

Copeland would also be nice on 3rd and short or goal line plays.

I had high hopes for Austin Johnson.

Well if Grambeaux could actually block once in a while, maybe his pick up is not needed.
