The-Hogs.net - Washington Football Discussion, Redskins to Commanders Era

So we signed another fullback today. I was always very high on Dennis Morris since we drafted him, really thought he was a diamond in the rough kind of guy coming from LaTech. I believed that with a year or two with Sellers leading the way he would be a smooth transition, except with hands and a little more athleticism. We signed another fullback, and D-Mo is currently listed as the 3rd FB on the roster. Any insight?

It doesn't look like they'll keep the guy. We should have seen him by now.

I know we haven't seen anything from him. He seemed to be very talented, I guess he just doesn't have what it takes for the Skins. I wouldn't be surprised to see him on the field in another uniform though.

I don't think anyone has any inside information. The FB position is a dying breed in the NFL. The issue is that a lot of teams are converting LBR's to FB and then if need be, they put them back on Def. So, not sure if that helps but no one has really said anything about him. Not sure if he's not doing the right stuff at practice to even make it on the field. That would be my assumption.

The Jets might disagree. Have you been watching Hard Knocks at all? They have a rookie named John Conner (nickname the Terminator) that just flat out crushes people.

practicing and playing hard during the time you spend in training camp is one of the best ways to make sure you make the 53 man roster
seems like a fairly easy formula - it's not a path that many of these very good athletes choose to follow - most think they are better than they are

cane skins, I would go with any of the full backs that get cut out of that Jets camp. All three looked impressive. You figure they keep Richardson and drop one of the young guys.

Not a bad strategy at all. All three of those fb's look like they can play in the NFL, especially Conner. I would love to see him leading the way for CP.

I imagine they'll keep the terminator and give Richardson a chance somewhere else pretty soon. This would be a great place for him.

I'm not ready to give up on Dennis Morris yet guys. You should watch his draft video on youtube. The guy was an absolute beast! I think we'll see him out on the field in the near future.

I wouldn't read much into signing a fullback. Nobody expects D-Mo to be ready to take Seller's place this soon. He's likely a practice squad guy...

After they moved young to FB they asked D-Mo to move back to TE.

Has the guy gotten any pre-season reps. I have heard virtually nothing about him since they drafted him.

Everyone has seen the video. it's the only reason we are talking about him now. He's been quiet in camp so far. I don't think they're giving him reps at FB. Just TE and mostly as a blocking TE.

I believe they envisioned him as Sellers backup, but then a week ago, they asked him to move back to TE. With Sellers out, maybe he'll see some more time at FB soon.

He's listed as 3rd FB on the depth chart now, behind Sellers and Darrel Young.
