If we are going to a "spread offense" we need to move some fullbacks.

I say move Ducre and Mouton to ILB now. Before the bowl game and let Aranda start working with them. Those guys are big and athletic and would punish running backs. Plus it would giv us 2 behind White. Has this been discussed buy the coaches you think?

At first I thought this was a dumb idea, but then now I'm not sure. Interesting to think about.
Doubt it's been mentioned by the coaches, but if it's feasible, the rumor mill will do work.

Mouton would be better served as a TE blocking specialist. He played TE in high school and has good enough hands.
No clue for Ducre. He looks like he's just straight power.

Ducre would probably make a horrible LB.
Mouton, give him a shot there, or H-back/TE. Think you keep Moore for his 1 last season at FB for goal line situations.
Biggest question is what are they telling our FB commit Tory Carter?

Wasn't Warren Sapp a TE or FB originally? Might be interesting to see A FB as an LB.

I saw that he was a tight end. But he has a strong presence and good vision at fullback which would make the transition to linebacker much easier for him. Plus he's big and can hit like a Mo Fo.

This was brought up last year when Aranda was hired. I don't think they are capable, if we see this I know they do.

Linebackers and fullbacks are relatively the same size, but this does not mean they can just swap to defense and perform at a high level. If we are gonna go spread then we have to start recruiting players that fit the scheme.

I would think playin FB would be a lot like playing an ILB find the gap and knock the shite out of the dude with the ball. I know it's not that simple but if the 2 guys I mentioned have the right mindset they would kill it at MLB. That would end our problem with the inside run for sure.

They may not be. Was just something I was thinking about Bc our recruitment of big linebacker is not looking good this year.
Posted on 12/4/16 at 10:57 pm to Ltown_tiger
Most spread offenses use a fullback or h-back.
Posted on 12/4/16 at 11:00 pm to warau
That's why we keep Moore at fullback for next year. Maybe leave Ducre too and move Mouton to ILB. Tell the incoming recruit we still need him. Lol
Posted on 12/4/16 at 11:11 pm to Ltown_tiger
I've been thinking those two should get a shot at ILB as well or at least one of them. Perhaps pass coverage would be a problem, however Patterson and Voorhies rarely see the field and a depth problem is obvious. Divinity played on the outside and Thornton and Anthony seem on the small side. Washington might get a chance and hopefully he has an injury free year. I think LSU has a preferred walk on that at least people on here were excited about as well, but I cannot remember his name.

How can't ducre smell the field. This dude is 240 with 4.5 speed. Inside the 20 he should be a monster.

They're telling him we're still going to use a FB a good bit. Heard an interview with him a day or two ago.

We still need to use a fullback if we have a good one. Moore might be the best in the country, and Mouton has improved greatly this year. Then there's Carter coming in... Bottom line is this position shouldn't go anywhere since we have really good ones.
You scheme to fit your personnel, period. Recruit the best players possible, and design an offense tailored to their strengths.

He could be great in the h-back role. Big enough to block linebackers but can also make plays out of the backfield

K State runs a spread and uses Full backs as do most spread teams

I understand that. But when you are thin at a position the need to move player positions increases.

Mouton may be too far along. He would be a better move to TE than LB, IMHO. We still have use for FB situationally.
Ducre was the #1 FB coming out of high school. He could be pressed into service as a tailback - just little evaluation of him as a defensive player.
I think Isaiah Washington might get a look at linebacker, perhaps inside.
