[QUOTE="Root4GT, post: 984423, member: 5618"] You are correct fullbacks are going the way of the Dodo bird. Generally they don't add a lot of value to an offense unless the offensive coach in one of the best at his trade. Kyle Shanahan is now 44 (on Thursday). He has used fullbacks for the past 15 years as an OC and HC in the NFL. That would mean he was 35 when he started. He is an offensive mastermind! Most of his large coaching tree will use a fullback though not many as often as he does. Generally a WR brings more value in the way of explosive plays to an offense. Another reason for the demise of the fullback is the read option play. As GT fans know well option plays generally leave one defender on the or near the LOS unblocked giving the offense an advantage in numbers as the QB is also a runner. The read option is a staple of college football and has been for 20 years negating the use of a fullback. Lastly as rules favor the offense in the passing game now more than ever that means fewer running plays. It was fun watching fullbacks take on DBs back in the day. FBs generally won those battles.
