Interesting thought. Always thought Upchurch would be eventually moved to fb, like mevin Jones was last year. Would like to see what Jones could do at DE.

Honestly stunned they let you have that username.

in 2003 they were probably glad to have posters

not a bad idea....haven't thought about it. I'm sure that we are experimenting with it throughout these "closed" practices

I figured they moved him to FB because they didn't think he could cut it on D.

I think they like Melvin there. Him and Ducre will be FBa FBb

Upchurch will have to gain 40-50 lbs to play fullback

Ducre coming in will be beast mode at fullback but you have to have some depth. I like Jones there this year but next year I would like to see him at LB again. However, he and Ducre would be awesome opening holes for LF, and running sometimes with LF being a decoy on a fake pitch out. If they can find someone else to partner with Ducre then Jones along with Beckwith, Kwon, Clifton Garret, De-bo and Feist would be all bad-arse LB Group.

Ducre will play rb IMO...I think jones will be the fullback after neighbors and stays there. I would like to see teheuma move to mlb though instead of DE. His instincts just seem like a more natural lb fit.

I wish he would. I think the guy would be a great backer or DE.

I know that Mel was not a fan of the switch. At all. Has that changed? Honestly not sure.
With the news of Q Thomas being lost for the year and knowing Chavis will sacrifice size over speed any day, could we see...
Darrell Williams at FB.
Jones moved back to take reps at Mike.
Beckwith sliding back to DE in 43 base or 33 stack looks or even a 34 sub package
Rasco sliding into DT in those 43/33/34 looks
Could happen..or maybe they would be happier if aclifton Garrett went ahead and logged minutes. I'd think the latter would happen before Jones got moved back.

These ideas are all bad. Jones is a FB. We have at leadt two guys that woukd be ahead of him at mlb.
Darrel Williams is not even close to tge right size for FB. How would you even guess he has the right disposition for it?
Beckwith was moved to mlb for a reason.
Rasco is too small for dt.

I think they will keep Upchurch at WR and Ducre will be a RB. Waay too much talent to waste at FB.
ETA: Also, I'm pretty sure we have some walk ons who could be good FBs/hybrid backs

Only on the rant does an injury to one person mean we should probably have 5 players change positions
Posted on 8/9/14 at 6:28 pm to GFunk
Huh?? pretty sure Ducre is coming in as a HB and jones is staying at FB and is going to be a great one too. Very physical guy. But yeah mouton will be another good one. The WR isn't going to play FB, H back mayb but that's different. I like our FB depth coming in! If and when you see Ducre run you will understand why you have to give this guy the ball as a HB, he's big, yes but man can that boy move!! Him and LF will be deadly add a little Guice to that and whew. Boy LA has some running back talent!!

Same here. I feel like we are underutilizing him at FB. Kid was unbelievably talented on both sides of the ball (QB and LB) at WM.
