Message: <blockquote data-quote="adambr2" data-source="post: 610587" data-attributes="member: 7277">The reason I picked Crockett over Ripkowski is that I think a 3rd tailback is more important than a 2nd fullback.  I doubt we would open the roster with Lacy and Starks as our only potential tailbacks.  I'm not sold on Ripskowski making the opening day roster.  6th round picks are crapshoots.  Ripkowski was considered a borderline 7th/UDFA for the draft.  If he doesn't make the cut, he can probably be stashed on the practice squad for dept and still learn there.  I doubt many teams are going to be out looking for a new fullback that wasn't even with them for training camp after they set their 53.It's also possible that Ripkowski beats out Kuhn entirely.  I suppose it's also possible that we carry 2 fullbacks, but I don't think it's the best chance.  Really, I don't think any of us have an idea until training camp who has a better shot between Ripkowski and Crockett, but just based on the numbers if we are splitting halfback and fullback, I doubt we see a 2/2 mix.  I just grouped them together for simplicity.</blockquote>
