He was and probably would remain undersized, and not terribly athletic. Whether we're thin or not, having him ever play significant time at DT would mean we're hurting. He has a better chance to make SOME impact at FB, IMO.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-6212822336372075562015-02-24T07:50:14.210-05:002015-02-24T07:50:14.210-05:00I'm not a big fan of the move.

Meanwhile, we might be a little thin at nose tackle beyond this year with Pipkins being a senior. I wouldn't mind the idea of seeing someone like Pallante being a part-time fullback (short yardage situations, etc.), but that appears not to be the case here. Guys don't generally play fullback and moonlight as nose tackles; it's the other way around.<br /><br />So unless the coaching staff sees absolutely zero future for him on the defensive line, I think he should stay on defense. That's not to say that he can't have an impact on offense, because he understands leverage as a wrestler and he would be a load for linebackers/defensive ends to handle. But he probably won't be much of a threat as a runner/receiver, and he was not known for his speed coming out of high school.Thunderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09708792562446136381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-75132651236478966172015-02-24T07:18:55.396-05:002015-02-24T07:18:55.396-05:00Drake Harris at 6-4 174lbs needs to be putting on ...Drake Harris at 6-4 174lbs needs to be putting on some pounds unless he's planning to just run past defenders.<br /><br />Ty Isaac at 6-3 240lbs is going to crush people if he is as fast as advertised.

Not that it matters much.<br /><br />Noah Furbush at 217 lbs. is going the wrong way.<br /><br />There really should be no excuse for our offensive line going forward. Braden at 6'6" 331 oughta be just mauling people. A more physically mature Magnuson at 296 will hopefully push at LT. I'm pulling hard for Chris Fox to be healthy at 303, and Dawson at a more mature 309 should be knocking people off the ball. We have plenty of size and years now, we should be hurting people up front.Roanmanhttp://justthinking.usnoreply@blogger.com
