    That's good, most teams won't expect him to be a pass catching threat out of the backfield. When I say threat I don't mean in terms of an LT, just a safety valve for the QB.

    truthfully, I'd much rather watch him stay back and light defenders up and give Sanchez that extra protection, then him slip out and make a catch.

    We definitely have the skills at WR and TE, and even RB to serve as targets.

    aside from the surprise of him leaving the backfield, its not like he's going to cause match up problems or anything like that..

    I can't remember where but after last night one of the beat writers said Conner was listed first on the FB depth chart.

    REALLY?.. That's really surprising, not sure what TR offers as a 2nd FB. I think it'd be much better with TR as 1st FB and Connor filling in as 2nd FB and a large role on ST.

    He should be he's a better blocker that TR, he just needs to get the playbook down.

    That's what I meant by being a safety valve.

    ohh.. by safety valve i though like a last resort check down guy for sanchez to throw to, not as a blocker.
