Gonna use a blocking back this year

Hanrahan was the most underrated player on the team when was he was here. Dude was a beast. Been waiting for us to use Shump in the same role. Only question is whether Shump is as tough and willing to hit like Hanrahan.

Absolutely awesome news

Yep. That Prosch dude at Auburn was the engine for them too in 2013.

I'm sure there is some downside to this, like the QB has less WRs and has to be more accurate. But I haven't seen it exploited yet.

I can see this happening again and it offers some insight into Dan saying we only had a spot for 1 WR on NSD.
