do we even have a fb?

Askew is 6'3" and well over 235lbs. How is he too small? We have another fullback who played some last year on special teams, but I can't remember his name.

 

I'm not sure anyone really has a FB anymore. Just the way of the game. They will be back in vogue before too much longer. Fb's are now big Rb's or TE's used in specific situations.

 

I guess it's Askew for now, but we'll probably sign a cheap veteran.

 

askew is gonna be our patrick pass now?

 

MIKE ALSTOTT When he become a fa

 

Askew will be a good fullback. He has more speed and agility than Sowell, and just as good hands and reliable out of the backfield with better ball-carrying ability.

Blocking-wise he's a downgrade, Sowell was a force, but I think he will be good enough. He can be a weapon IMO. This is not an area that needs to be adressed this offseason.

 

let's hope it wont be a problem. we don't exactly need another liability in the blocking department-running or passing

 

askew would be a beast if he adds about 10 pounds.

 

The release of Sowell says to me that the FB won't be needed, or at least won't be anything more than a very small part of the new offense. Askew will fill in when needed, and I'd look for a backup to be drafted in the sixth round or so, just for depth and ST's.

 

What about Dreessen?

 

dreessen is a TE but that could work

 

The free agent market for FBs is loaded.

Fred Beasley would look good in green and white.

 

dont we need a good blocking fullback though we dont even have good blocking TE's or an O-line this year is going to be a disaster

 

I agree FB is such an overlooked position how many times have the Jets been 4th and short and get stuffed. Beasly is a beast would love him in green and whit..and look how a good FB opens up a run , prob one of the best Fb's Lorenzo Neal prime example
