McNac to Fullback?

[Harry]

He's big enough - 260+ and he is evidently healthy this year after an injury plagued season last year. With the depth at linebacker he will have a tough time helping us there. I know Mitchell is still the man, but when things get real crowded up front McNac could surely open things up a bit for J-Mo and Patrick.

Harry, did he ever play in the backfield in HS?

[MeanMag]

I thought our FB position was pretty well taken care of

[SilverEagle]

If this guy was too slow to play (or start at) LB, then is he still fast enough to play FB?

[GreenBat]

Harry,

Good to see you've come around to my way of thinking. I've said for 2 years that McNac is a protype blocking fullback. He's not fast enough to be an effective linebacker, but he's big & strong enough to take on a linebacker as a blocker. I think he'd be a devestating blocker!!!

Look, we can't have fans acting like coaches!

[MeanGreenThing]

Why not? Thats the most fun part? Talk about a buzzkill.

[OldTimer]

I was really impressed by the Henderson kid at FB during spring training, the way he kept his feet moving and moving the tacklers back. He has some size also although not as heavy as McNac

Lighten up Francis;... think sarcasm.

I guess since I forgot to put a smiley face at the end of my post, nobody realized I was joking along too?

Funny stuff... Korona Henderson has my vote for FB. That kid just loves to hit. I think "Big-Mac" could play Free safety, but there is the speed and conditioning thing? He could play receiver, but I think he might end up opposite little Gary Obure in practice...can anyone say "Get up, Gary?". Not worth the loss of another player. I wonder if Big Mac can deep snap? He is a good guy, and needs to find a place to play, at least until he is hurt in week two...

All joking aside...Big Mac just needs to stay healthy. If he could come in around 245-ish...he could contribute. I think Coach Dickey has a plan for him. He just needs to walk around for more than two months without straining or tearing anything?

GMG!!!

[GrayEagle]

You know, my first thought was the same as Silver's, he's not fast enough. But, upon further review, I'm not sure that you have to have blazing speed to protect the quarterback or even lead interference. Perhaps more quickness than speed.

I'd try him there. If he can't beat the undersized Mitchell, Nevins and Henderson, or at least one or two of them, then I'd try him at DE. He looks so powerful that it seems to me that he should be in there for some plays somewhere.

MAYBE JOHNNY QUINN CAN PLAY FULLBACK

MAYBE JOHNNY QUINN CAN PLAY FULLBACK

Umm. No.

[Got5onIt]

Why not just move him to end? McNac has quickness. Playing from a 3 point stance will just make him quicker.

Anybody with neck like that ought to be able to block.

What neck? I see a head sitting on shoulders.

[taynt7]

yeah, there was nothing wrong with that name, until i was about 12 years old and that no talent ass clown became famous and started winning grammys

[pollock]

Why don't you just go by Mike?

[taynt7]

Why should I change my name, hes the one who sucks

That's what I'm talkin' about.
