One thing that I also remember, Lynch had his best years when we had one of these.

Rawls was able to run when we had one of these.

2015 our running game took off the later part of the season with one of these.

Tre Madden is not one of these guys and was injured and not replaced.

Barry Sanders was a great RB.

But even he got better with a FB.

And a FB can leak out to catch a pass, which keeps the LBs from blitzing as often.

I have been complaining about our lack of FB for a while.

Especially when we could have had Reece.

I'll bet we were hoping to sign Reece towards season's end but found ourselves with no money once we'd signed our injury replacements.

He played college football at Alabama, and was drafted by the Tennessee Titans in the fourth round of the 2015 NFL Draft.

Can he catch out of the backfield ? Does he have the knock the snot out of you mentality of a Fullback ? Is he smart and a quick thinker so he can adjust on the fly and hit the right guy?

That's what we need in a Fullback, we have a pretty good eye for these guys and if they are worth a damn in Seattle.

Dan Doornink
John Williams

His build = shades of John L. Williams?

John L was one of my favorites back in the day. He could lay some serious hat.
