[QUOTE="33jacket, post: 89352, member: 628"] No that is not what I am saying at all. I am not saying that is WHAT FULLBACK means regardless of what anyone says at all. I am saying our BB is a FB by alignment/setup in THAT formation. And a FB can run the ball a ton, or not, we use him to run the ball a ton. The NFL doesn't. Because of how a NFL FB is used it it becomes assimilated with a non-run position. But that doesn't mean if he runs alot he isn't a FB...its unfortunate people take it that way though. He is still a FB in a option, a run heavy featured FB. As far as you alignment..we can all find borderline fringe freaky things that challenge the standard. Classic GT argument is they find that fringe. The reality is, you know this, one guy will have a tape tendency to get that snap, the D will assign him the QB read and the other the HB read and you move on...by alignment yes one would have to be a QB. Typically they shade, its not rocket science. This is getting way to fringe for the pursposes of what the discussion was about. The discussion was about OUR FB in OUR offense not being called a FB but a BB. My point is in our offense he is in a FB position, he is by nature a FB not in the NFL sense, in the option offense sense for sure, but still lined up as a FB...that is featured. [/QUOTE]
