FB Marcell Reece Works Out For Seahawks

[Tical21]

Agree that this is more for the 3rd down role than traditional FB. Can catch and possibly pass block.

Didn't sign him.

Wait, they didn't sign him did they? edit: thanks^

They give people tryouts all the time, probably several people at several positions on the same day that he was here.

I think Tuku not getting those recent 3rd down short yardage conversions has him on the bubble as the team tries to find answers to ignite the running game. If nothing else it's worth know what Reece can deliver.

Excellent point about the goalline carries.

Plus I think Pete and Bev miss the fullback outlet that MRob and Coleman provided.

Pete's been on record saying that he likes his FB to be an offensive weapon as well.

I love me some Tukuafu, but when you're 280 lbs, you should be able to get 1 yard. I don't know if Reece has anything left in the tank, but the last time I remember seeing him play, he could've gotten that yard.

None of our RB's are true short yardage bruisers that can gain that 1 yard with bad blocking. Getting a FB that can would be gaining a different skill set that we need.
