Any thoughts on this ?
It seems to me that over the past several years, we've used the Fullback mainly to block ( I recognize that could change this year)....
I'm sure Dixon will make a great fullback, but if he is the great running back (with those skills), does this seems the best use of his talents ? We have several tight-ends in the mix; I wonder why we didn't move one of them to FB ? Not complaining, I just hate to not be using his running back skills, maybe as out third RB (next year being # 1 or 2 )...
SO, I guess we can assume the other RBs have stepped it up considerably - leaving Dixon behind at RB ? Wonder if next year he'll move back to RB when we have graduation losses ?
I guess he seemed to me, to be a potential stud RB, now at FB , where he won't get that many carries; mainly a blocking back.....Just wondering about this...Maybe he'll play both when we get some of the other FBs back and healthy...
