Quote:I think Dave gets input from the coaches on what players they like and then Dave makes the final decision just like every other team.  Not to mention you keep bringing up Fisch which was 2 years ago.  We havent had a FB the last couple of years either

 

I keep bringing up Fisch because he was the initial influence on NOT having a FB in Jax.  

He didn't use a FB at Miami. He had a TE that very occasionally did some H-Back work.  

 

When Gus hired him that's when all that talk about an H-Back started getting bandied about around here.

 In the end they didn't even really do that here either. They just pulled TEs to run block and tried to let Gerhart lead-block about ten times to little success.

Fisch's offense just didn't use a FB and there was zero reason for Caldwell to have one taking up space on the roster. In fact if he DID acquire a FB for an offensive scheme that didn't use one  --- now THAT would be your "career killer." 

 

If anyone was going to make Fisch (or Olson or Hackett) use a FB it would have been Gus's job to do do that because he's the next step in the hierarchy from the OC.
