Jacoby Stevens Moving to F Back

Does this make sense to anybody? We already have a ton of tightend/fbacks on the roster and we can't get our most athletic receivers to perform consistently.
Can anyone explain why moving Stevens to F back is a good idea?

They have no idea what to do with him, that much is apparent.

I think Canada left his brains in Pennsylvania

O said he was doing extremely well on offense on Monday - so, I must assume they are planning to get him the ball from that position. I can't imagine they're moving him around to block, especially when O said they wouldn't rule out moving him back to defense only in an emergency situation.

Wasn't Jarvis Landry lined up as an 'F-back' during his time at LSU?

The Stevens Saga alone should be grounds for firing coach O. 
This is pathetic when the top safety in the country is recruited and signed only to moved around on offense to every position accept QB and OL.
Hell, O is whining about lack of depth on the OL because of transfers that happened on his watch, might as well try Jacoby at Guard.

Don't get caught up in the name of his position.
He's LSU's Percy Harvin

They were explaining this on local radio last week. The F-Back often acts as a receiver but with a much simpler route tree. Jarvis Landry also occupied this role early in his career. It's a way to get them on the field and keep things simple.

The F-back is a position Canada likes to get the ball to. So why not get a do it all stud freshman there whom was a 5 star athlete and WR before he was a safety. It's all about getting your chess pieces in position. Steven's as been documented as to saying he would prefer offense during his recruitment that reason alone is why he Almost chose Bama due to the oppurtunity they offered

I assume it's because he's big and strong and fast and they want to get the ball in his hands. It looks like they want to use him as an option on shovel passes. They threw him one against Syracuse that went for about 5 yards.
I also imagine that the coaches aren't as worried about receiver depth as they were in the beginning of fall camp.
I don't understand why it's an issue that they're trying to find ways to get this guy the ball. Or that this is an indication that they don't know what they are doing.
There are definitely OTHER concerns regarding this staff, but, to me, this isn't one of them.

Receivers are Z and X correct, F is always the inner most receiver, no matter if it's two wide or three wide.

Stevens is basically a wingback now. I expect his number of targets to go up and really think he will be involved in the short to intermediate passing scheme, especially off of play action.
Posted on 9/27/17 at 12:10 pm to MarreroMike
To me it sounds like they're trying to do whatever they can to get him the ball. I don't disagree if it somehow helps the team. I figured he'd move back to defense with Paris going down but I guess not.

Eventually it will be Jacoby Stevens moving to another football program.
What a clusterfrick this staff is. 4 fricking games into the season. Unreal.

Perhaps they've just decided to teach him every position on offense.
Posted on 9/27/17 at 12:25 pm to MarreroMike
They should not have announced it. They should have just lined him up there, run a play for a touchdown and then everyone would talk about how brilliant it was.

You realize J. Landry played that position at times when he was here? The F back is a hybrid and not a typical blocking back\TE. The routes are simple and that is why they have him there. He can pick it up easier that slot or WO.

So at f-back he could catch a shuffle pass or be an outlet for a quick, easy pass if our OL doesn't hold in pass protection, which has been most of the time. Since he most likely would be covered by a linebacker he could easily get separation, and his size would be an advantage against a safety ... I'm ok with it.
