And you know Kyle will probably add more variety to that...hmmmm, we should review DiMarco's distribution.
I think DiMarco is a traditional FB that doesn't have the athleticism of JuZ. So I doubt DiMarco was utilized the way BAL used JuZ and how Shanahan will use him. Looking at their pass catching stats really shows the differences in what they were asked to do.
JCool: I saw that tweet PFFDeeney put up, but they had no ratings attached to it. "Top rated FB" is an overall grade. "Good run blocker" is a subjective description. I was hoping for a concrete rating. For example, "+11.3 run blocking which puts him at the #4 rated run blocker", something like that. NYniner stated "top10 run blocker" so that's good. I was curious why JuZ seemed to be more like a 3rd down back than a lead blocker. Thought maybe he had deficiencies as a lead blocker.
This guy is more Delanie Walker than he is Bruce Miller so I feel as though his salary should be compared to TEs instead of FBs. I've never been more intrigued by an acquisition of a "fullback".
