Mailbag: Determining The Battle At Fullback? Shuffling The Linebackers?

AVERY HERRIOTT
ATLANTA, GA
Assuming Rod Smith is selected to be the fullback for the team, do you think he could be versatile to remind us of Robert Newhouse and/or Ron Springs? Do you feel he can run from the fullback position two or three times a game and be targeted two or three times a game?

Bryan: I like the direction you are going because I grew up watching Cowboys games where those two players played extensive roles in the success of the offense. I just don’t get the feeling that we are going to see these offensive coaches use the fullback position the way that Tom Landry used it in the 70’s and 80’s.
