It’s only a matter of time before Jon Gruden barks “Spider 2 Y Banana” in Derek Carr’s ear and waits for his new quarterback to run one of Gruden’s famous plays. Note when that time comes the importance of the fullback in the play’s execution. Same goes with another Gruden staple, the isolation power run, in

    Great stuff. Derrick Coleman looks like he would be a great addition , but so do Zach Line and Sherman. If they pull the trigger on any one or two of these gentlemen, we’ll all be stoked.

    I have said this previously. I think Gruden will bring in a vet and a rookie to compete with Olawale.

    I think Sherman is closest to a true FB. He has the ability to run over some LB and clear holes. He is also a key ST guy. Gruden loves versatility. He has lead for some good backs in kc. Signing him would also take away from kc, always good.

    Line is a bit of a tweener. I liked him coming out of college. I though he would be more productive than he has been.

    There are plenty of FBs in the draft this year, good ones. Some will be left to be signed as UDFAs.

    John David Moore 6-3 230 LSU
    Austin Ramesh 6-1 251 WI
    Dimitri Flowers 6-2 240 OK
    And several others

    One guy who I think is most like Crockett is Bo Scarbrough 6-2 230 AL
