[Jackcrevol]

[avolation]

What's a fullback?

 

[Orangedogsrule]

What's a fullback?

Twice a halfback...who is

Twice a quarterback.

They measure from the center.

Now you know.

God I hope so! Power Football needs to happen again

Hopefully Shawn Bryson has a son nearing college age.

 

[Special Ed]

I believe we have four quarterbacks on the roster now.
So, do the math:
4 x 1/4 = 1 Fullback.

He will probably go to Clemson or Georgia. :ermm:

Something I've always wondered...is the naming convention based off of old offensive sets, where perhaps the fullback was actually the rearmost player in the backfield, instead of being an up-back in today's offensive schemes? Otherwise, it makes zero sense that the full back lines up closer to the center than the halfback.

I think yer confusing halfback with tailback. Tailback is behind the fullback and usually gets the ball. Halfback I think is more of a fullback/tight end hybrid.

Move Dillon Bates over to Fullback.

In the single wing formation the fullback (or "spinback") usually took the snap from center. The quarterback was really a blocking back. How about the wingback and the tailback? Things change with time.

Gotcha. I always thought HB and TB were basically interchangeable terms

Or Greg Amsler.

 

[D-rock]

Move Dillon Bates over to Fullback.

Where is the blue font?
Dillon as a fullback.........could not / would not break an egg.

One of my all-time favorites! I'm not sure if many people realize how key Bryson was to our 1998 National Championship! He was also the fastest player on the team.

Go Vols!!!

Nobody uses fullback in high school or anywhere else. Alabama, GA, Clemson and Oklahoma certainly do not.

Tailbacks for I formation and Single Wing. T formation, Wishbone, Veer etc. use 2 halfbacks.

Now you know.

Is that like:
It takes 2 quarter horses to make half a horse
or 4 quarter horses to make a whole horse? Higher math always gave me problems.:crazy:

 

[dan4vols]

Move Dillon Bates over to Fullback.

I think that may be a heck of an idea.

 

[Coach Punk]

Wont see one. At least not a true one. More two-TE formations and bigger backs.

yes but you still keep one around.

Fulmer said wed hve a lead blocker, Hback?

Like how Dooley moved the TEs wherever. Even our new JUCO guy said he was going to play all over the place.

 

[Weezer]

IF we run something with a FB, I expect you'll see a TE shift into position. JMO

Every picture tells a story.
