After Payton watched film of Tampa he went after their FB because he stood out in every game........that says a lot about Lorig.

I love that so many are asking about our FBs hands. We don't need hands there. We need Ironhead. Oh yea, Ironhead had great hands. RIP Heyward. We miss ya. I think Dallas is gonna cut JC Copeland and as the self-proclaimed biggest Tiger homer on this forum, I'd love to see us pick him up. I heard Garrett complaining about his weight recently. Just like Ironhead! Man I was so excited about us signing Lorig. RBs in Tampa sure thrived running behind hiim. A stud FB would sure help our hopes of improving our running attack.

We actually do need our fullbacks to have good hands; Jed converted some pretty critical third downs and kept defenses honest after said conversions; usually creating other mismatches downfield...
