Fullback Discussion

Tonga was destroying people in the trenches as a blocker. It's a different skill set to sit back, read and react, and do blitz pickup, though. So right now I think we are 100% run when he is in there. But with Josh who knows, maybe it will change.

Tony Romo kept saying it all game. Josh is going to hold that one back until it’s absolutely necessary, probably not until the playoffs. (Cue “playoffs?!”quote, but would be a major upset if we don’t make it in at this point).

Buffalo.

Also Diggs and Hollins TD catches in that game.

I'm leery of using Tonga Party under these circumstances; he's the only legit 0/1-Tech in the building. I'd rather see one of Durden, Farmer, Bryant, VD Low or Ben Brown used in that capacity instead.

You can't just make them good at it because you think it's less risky. Tonga is a freak for being able to play 2 ways at his size.

Vedarian Lowe forefeited his chance to ever be on the football field again outside of an absolute emergency with that false start.

OH.. Maybe go back and re-watch the Cleveland game. You know. Where Westover was the lead blocker for 14 snaps and the Pats RBs put up 127 yards rushing on a Cleveland Defense that was the #1 Rushing Defense going into that game.

I'll give it a watch, but if Westover is that effective, why are they now giving snaps to Tonga?
