Alas, T-Rich, we STILL miss you!

Great read on the best fullback in FB at:

One of my favorite parts:

"Mr. Richardson is a fullback, which is one of the NFL's truly thankless jobs—and, in many corners of the league, a lost art. He blocks for the running back, protects the quarterback in passing situations and might as well show up for work with a lunch pail. But there are moments, rare moments, when a fullback finds scraps of glory.

Such was the case against the Texans, when Mr. Richardson led the way for Mr. Jones and found a safety waiting to make the tackle. So Mr. Richardson did what was necessary: "Tony just annihilated him," said Brian Schottenheimer, the Jets' offensive coordinator."

The play at 6:05 was when I knew I was in love.

The 6:05 play was exactly the play that came to my mind even before seeing the video. Incredible blocking play.

The interesting thing to me is that as much as we (rightfully) idolize Willie Roaf, they ran to the right just as often as the left. Tait may not have been the best left tackle, but he was a great right tackle in that offense. And when you have Roaf on the left side and Shields on the right side, you're sitting pretty. Not to mention stacking Gonzalez and Dunn somewhere and then sending Richardson over. That run offense was merciless.

Holy ****ing shit!


That was the game Pitt jumped out big on us and we took their momentum and stuck it up their ass sideways.

I don't think there is a current lineman, TE or FB on our team that could pull and make a caravan of blockers like that. They would get blown up in the backfield. I miss talent.

I've been looking around, but can't find any historical NFL stats on "Red Zone Efficiency".

I have to surmise, however, that those Chiefs (for those couple of years) had to be one of the best - if not the absolute best - Red Zone offenses in league history. That run game was that good.

He's the everyman that every man likes.

Another good role player, but again, nothing more than that.

If you could combine him with Edwards, then you'd have a hell of a LB.

I liked Scott Fujita, he was a young aspiring LB. Made mistakes like most of them but he could play well and I still don't understand why Carl Traded him for a 6th rd pick to the Cowgirls. He went on to help the Saints win a SB. Not that he is any thing special, but am wandring Milkman your opinion of him when he was a Chief? .

And I loved the roar of the croud F U J I T A when he made a big play.

AND he paid LJ while trading Jared Allen. FH(is)L.
