Ducre or Mouton.

Mouton is a really underrated player. He's Mercel Reece-esque... A utility player that can split out wide, end line TE, fullback, special teams, etc.

And yes Darrel Williams could see a good bit of time there as well.

What about Tony Upchurch? Hes like Mouton, as in he's more of a Swiss army knife / utility skill position player. Just needs to add some weight to switch to FB, which shouldn't be too hard if he knew he was moving to FB.

I like Ducre and Fournette at the same time but use that 2 back package some, 3-4 WR, heck sometimes even 5 wide, then option a motion guy, and like someone else said one back sets....Lets mix our offense up!!!! We can put a big body in there if Melvin Jones is not available- like the big nose guard power lifter Johnson as he cannot play defense...Hell he bench presses 550-600 pounds or whatever and can squat a ton... But the days of that set all the time should be finished

Ducre is effin perfect for this.

I think he's going to be a monster RB/FB combo at LSU. He has crazy speed and agility for someone his size.



all well and good. will need one or two more ready to go, in case he gets dinged.

I'll say it again because there are multiple threads. I think Ducre belongs in the RB rotation. He's FAST. I think Mouton and Williams are adequate enough for FB.

I like D Williams and Ducre as RBs, they are runners NOT blockers, and damn good ones

Every highlight I see of Ducre he is running past people. I don't know how fast he runs, but I bet he's faster than most RB's playing in the SEC.

Personally, I would consider it a waste of talent if he's moved to FB.

Get with the 21st century and phase the fullback out.

I don't mind the use of a FB. I just don't want Ducre at FB.

Fournette, Guice, and Ducre rotation? Lol

David Ducre could step in right away at fullback. He's a hard runner who's a lot faster than you'd think an almost 240 pounder should be.

That zero yard fullback out route is the staple of this offense.

On this team we have plenty of tightends just move a few to fullback. Not Desean Smith or J.Washington
