re: "No fullbacks" according to O - Why?

Another "slap in the face" provided by Matt Canada at North Carolina State, the bastard:
65 receptions??? How's an H-back supposed to feel like part of the team when he is so under-used? Pitiful? May as well have put him out of his misery and kicked the loafer off the team. *** sarcasm ***

Last year, Pitt running back James Conner snared 21 passes and his backup Quadree Henderson pulled down 26. The year before, Jaylen Samuels – a hybrid fullback/tight end – yanked down 65 receptions to diversify the Wolf Pack offense.

the best running back on the Redskins' roster was John Riggins, a fullback.

Yep, I should have included him on the list. Another great power runner with speed. At one point in his athletic career he ran a 9.6 100 yard dash.

No he didn't

Well, he holds the Kansas high school 100 yard dash record of 9.8 sec. So, 9.6 isn't out of the question.
Correction: It's not a state record, it's Centralia High School record.

They just call it diff. They will still use a RB, fb, two te formation that everyone hated.
only difference is now there will be five people running routes out of it

unless you're running a dinosaur system, FBs are like half a player instead of a full player
H-backs are a much, MUCH better position to use

The game is trending away from the power set and spreading the field forcing defenses to defend every square yard from sideline to sideline
i'm not criticizing your statement but i think a lot of LSU fans don't realize this trend is over 10 years old. it's not a trend anymore this is standard in CFB. LSU under Miles was just one of the few hold outs who refused to adapt to modern offensive principles
Utah won a BCS bowl in 2004 with a spread option
Texas won a national title in 2005 with a spread option
schools like Tulane and Northwestern were running spread-option princples in the early 00s
it's 2017. the philosophy is almost 20 years old at this point. there are freshmen at LSU who weren't born when these systems were first implemented. they've literally lived their entire lives with the spread option as a major CFB offensive system

I agree that it's not to far off. That 9.8 was in high school. As I recall, he ran a 9.6 in college.

We have a New of with a new offensive philosophy and terminology.
If we wanted a modern offense we now have it.

Yes you are right about the timing and is trending was not the perfect wording and there are quite a few teams that have adopted this modern offense the last 10 years and the last 5 even Alabama has.
Using 3, 4 or even 5 WR's is common leaving no room for a fullback and was only explaining why coach O may be doing away with a fullback two back offense.
Miles was fired for refusing to adapt to modern principles and maybe coach O wants to keep his job

Well yeah, football formations have evolved, even in the old days, a good offensive coordinator found ways to make his play calling less predictable. It's misleading to assume that they always used the I-formation. More common was the split back or pro set formation which allowed for more options:
Note that the FB and TB did essentially the same thing. Back then, fullbacks were more valued as runners. They weren't just additional offensive linemen.
And of course there were numerous other formations, including shotgun.

Because Les used fullbacks. You haven't caught on to his mantra yet? He's sold himself as the anti-Miles.
