[QUOTE="Lare, post: 155576, member: 114"] Although you may be right on the FB position, I doubt if we'll ever see the combination of the kicker/punter positions used on a large scale. With the current trend towards building a team through a strong defense, field position becomes even more important. That extra few yards you could lose every change of possession, by not having a pure punting specialist, adds up throughout the game and eventually leads to valuable points. But I wouldn't be surprised to see more changes at the FB position as we saw last year in Green Bay. Let's face it, how often do FBs run with the ball anymore? The vast majority of the time they're just another blocker that occasionally catches a pass. The teams that are successful in the NFL are ones that find innovative ways of getting more production out of the less productive positions. It's just a matter of time before someone finds another way to do that with the FB position. [/QUOTE]
